A hotel in the city center calling your bar on site after a protest on social media over the weekend.
The Cow Hollow Hotel in the northern district renamed its “Plantation Bar” and issued a public apology.
Screenshots shared on Twitter overdue last week show that the bar advertised on the hotel’s online page has a “colonial air”.
Users noted the negative connotations related to plantations, which were colonial-era slavery sites, calling the bar “disgusting” and “controversial.”
Cow Hollow Hotel, a small boutique hotel on Newton Street, temporarily posted an apology on his Instagram account.
He wrote: “Sorry.As many of you have pointed out on social media, we’ve made a misguided selection about our bar’s call.
To give a little context, the plantation call referred to the circle of the owner of the relatives of the wood plantation in India.The reference “colonial” to a taste for furniture and architecture.
“In a million years, we would seek to dedicate a crime or to paralelisk with colonial-era crimes.
“Our sincere apologies. We renamed the bar with quick effect and got rid of the website.”
The bar will now serve as a hollow cow bar.
The hotel itself opened in early 2018 in a former textile warehouse and won praise across the country.
It is managed through the husband-and-wife duo Muj and Amelia Rana, and is named after the upscale San Francisco neighborhood.
He refused to comment more.
