This is a great offer from NH Hotels. The question is can they legally make a statement that one guest must be aged 18 - 25 or does this discriminate?
Is anyone out there well informed on this sort of thing.
Hope you 18 - 25 year olds take advantage !!

It's not a UK company. I doubt our laws would apply.
They can surely specify whatever the hell they like? I mean they often specify groups of kids can't enter shops and more often than not you can't enter some nightclubs due to your age, no-one goes around policing agism?
"These Rules of Use are governed by Spanish Law" so it will depend how much of the age discrimination stuff is part of european law.
Might take the other younger half away 😉
Andy, honestly do you feel that strongly enough about it to highlight the fact they MIGHT be discriminating 🙄
No more so than a Young person's Rail card does....
