To reduce the wait time for check-in a pre-booking reservation system has been implemented.

High-touch areas such as door handles, lift buttons, hand rails etc throughout the hotel will be sanitized on a regular basis according to the cleaning schedule.
Employees will wear the appropriate personal protective equipment and are fully trained in how to put on and remove PPE safely.

We have implemented a directional flow management system for back of house to ensure social distancing at all times between employees.
Prior to returning to work all employees have/will complete a training program which will continue to run on regular basis. During this training program employees will learn best practices for use of PPE, hand washing procedures, and cleaning guidelines.
