Ensuring a safe, clean and inviting environment is the core of our commitment to providing the highest level of hospitality.

In response to COVID-19, we implemented and continue to maintain industry-leading and scientifically driven enhanced cleaning standards to protect our guests and staff' health. The latest guidance from the world's leading health authorities, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), is incorporated into our strengthened safety and sanitising measures, which apply to all guest rooms, public, and back-of-house areas.

Our comprehensive solutions are based on industry experience and the most recent scientific recommendations, and they include hospital-grade cleansers and best practises for preventing the transmission of infections. These plans will be revised on a regular basis to reflect the most up-to-date science and technology.

Here's a quick rundown of everything we're doing to keep you safe and comfortable:

• Keeping our Distance. We've put in place social distancing measures in the hotel's public, event, and back-of-house areas.
• Sanitizer Stations Throughout. Touchless hand sanitizer stations have been installed throughout the hotel, including the public, event, and back-of-house areas.
• Enhanced and More Frequent Cleaning. Standard routine will include the use of EPA-rated hospital-grade disinfectants in guest rooms as well as public, event, and back-of-house spaces.
• Personal Protection Equipment Required. Face masks and gloves are needed for all hotel employees. Guests are also urged to do so.
• In-room Safety Kits Provided. Each room will be equipped with a sealed safety package containing a face mask, hand sanitizer, and disinfecting wipes upon arrival.
• Your Room is Your Room. During your stay, no hotel personnel will enter your room without your permission.
• Training and Education. Our hotel associates receive frequent training on the most recent safety and cleanliness guidelines.

We hope to be able to welcome you shortly. Thank you for your continuing confidence and support.
