A five-star hotel in Dubai is asking Russian models to stop using their geotag in their 'erotic' Instagram pictures as it's damaging its 'family-friendly' reputation. No, seriously!
Around 25 models stayed at the Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah while doing a fashion shoot for designer Anna Chibisova's high-end brand, D'AngelAnn.
When they weren't on set, they took photos for their own social media, tagging the hotel while doing so.

As you can see from the following photos, the girls are more than happy to pose by the pool, or in their hotel rooms - why is the hotel annoyed again?!

Among the women were Victoria Bonya, who's the wife of Irish billionaire Alex Smurfit, actress Anna Kalashnikova and 24-year-old reality TV show star Alena Shishkova.

The Mirror reports that a hotel suite can cost more than £1,000 a night, so maybe you can see why the venue doesn't want to piss off its guests.
Apparently, it prides itself on its family-friendly image. It has also suggested that some of the models' images look like they should be in an erotic lingerie catalogue.

A hotel spokesman said: "You have to understand that this is an Arab country. We have had a lot of complaints from families with your children.
"We do not want to see our geolocation on photos of girls in semi-naked and erotic poses. Let the photograph simply state the location as Dubai."
Apparently, some of the girls are quite annoyed at the comments of the hotel. To be completely fair to the models, surely all publicity is good publicity?!
I guess this isn't the usual complaint from a hotel that you didn't pay for that packet of peanuts from the minibar.
