LONDON— Owners of the renowned Kimberley Hotel on the Scottish coast are having a drawing to select a new owner for the property. One lucky person from 350,000 entries who pay just $11 and correctly answer three questions posted on the hotels website will assume the position of new owner and manager— all taxes paid. Nearly 140,000 hopeful hoteliers have already signed on for a chance to change their lives, and are waiting for their fate to be sealed in a live Internet broadcast. “After six wonderful years, my partners and I have decided that our daily jobs in Austria prevent us from spending as much time as we would like to manage this historic, panoramic and profitable property,” noted Wolfgang Baldauf, Austrian financial advisor and part owner of the Kimberley. “We thought that holding a lottery whereby one lucky person can win the hotel outright for just $11 would be an uncommon way to sell the property, and might give someone without the means to own and manage a hotel the opportunity to realize a dream.” The romantic 17-room Victorian hotel, dating from 1886, was recently modernized and completely re-furbished, remaining true to the traditional Scottish furnishings and architecture. The property overlooks Oban Bayand the Hebridean Islands and is a few minutes walk from the Scottish harbor town of Oban.
