Book a Room Coronavirus Update Reassurance As our guests will know and expect, exceptional service, pristine housekeeping, hygiene and safety have always been amongst our values, and delivering these consistently is set in our nature. We can confirm that we continue to comply with the ‘COVID-19 Secure’ guidance on managing the risk of coronavirus. Doing Our Bit, Keeping You Safe Keeping our distance We've given thought to every step of your journey from arrival and check-in, to housekeeping and room service to ensure that even whilst keeping their distance, our team can look after you with our usual warm hospitality. Face coverings For now, face coverings will continue to be very welcome at the hotel and we are grateful to our guests for helping to keep everyone safe. In-room dining Room service to the bedroom door for in-room dining is available so that you can enjoy additional privacy and comfort. Breakfast in bed? Why not… Room services To minimise contact, we will provide our room services whilst you are out, let us know if you have a preferred time. Of course, if you’d prefer that our housekeepers don’t enter your room during your stay, just let us know at check-in. We’ll be happy to provide clean towels and amenities to your door. Confidence in Our Cleanliness Always hygienic We proudly hold a 5 star food hygiene rating at all of our hotels, so you can be confident that cleanliness, hygiene and safe food handling have always been high on our agenda. Working with our partners at Diversey, we’ve identified the most suitable coronavirus-effective cleaning products for use in our hotels. Your room We promise that our experienced housekeepers will have taken time and care to ensure that your bedroom has been meticulously cleaned and fully disinfected, following a detailed checklist and ensuring extra attention to high-touch areas, such as TV remotes, taps and telephones. Public spaces Staffing levels have been set to ensure that public spaces can be continuously cleaned and disinfected throughout the day. Behind the scenes You can be confident that we hold ourselves to the same top cleanliness standards back of house as we do in our guest spaces, and we’ve taken steps to ensure that our employees can observe social distancing too. Training & Best Practice Handwashing Our employees are taught the best handwashing technique from day one, and are trained to follow our very own 8-step handwashing procedure, every time. Top-class procedures We’re continuously reviewing all that we do and taking into consideration all government guidance to ensure that our procedures continue to protect our guests and people. Knowledge & training In addition to the comprehensive training in food hygiene, cleaning and infection control that all of our staff receive, our hotel teams will receive specific training in the control and spread prevention of coronavirus.
