With a European immigration crisis boiling up in many forms these days, focusing on mass migration by boat across the Mediterranean, there’s a different story playing out in Vienna, where a chic hotel is serving as a place for immigrants who came as asylum seekers.

The Guardian (UK) has more DETAILS as well as a list of other businesses and organizations that have similar missions.
