The workers accused the General Manager of the hotel, Michael Rathgeb, of overseeing the racist treatment.
According to them, Ghanaian workers were treated harshly and dismissed by the hotel when they commit misdemeanours such as "stealing pens" while expatriate staff were let off the hook when they stole from guests.
They, therefore, called for his immediate dismissal, adding that only then will they return to their various posts.
Meanwhile, the General Manager of the hotel declined to comment on the matter when approached by journalists.
Some of the aggrieved workers have also threatened to petition the National Labour Commission (NLC) on the issue.
