Ananova:

A five-star hotel in China dressed its window cleaners as Spiderman in an effort to avoid disturbing guests.

Shanghai Sheraton Hotel says they wanted to minimise the affect of the week-long cleaning.

"Nobody wants to see a person suddenly appear outside their window, so we thought of dressing them as movie characters, which should be fun and harmless," said a hotel spokesman.

The hotel says they were not expecting the Spiderman cleaners to attract so much attention.

Many guests have asked to have their photos taken with them, reports China News Network.
