Our safety measures
HOW ARE YOU LOOKING AFTER THE SAFETY OF YOUR TEAM?
We have training on hygiene standards for our teams and give clear guidance on taking time off when feeling unwell. PPE has been provided for job roles that require this. There are also communication channels in place for team members who require further advice and guidance.
HOW ARE YOU LOOKING AFTER THE SAFETY OF YOUR GUESTS?
We will continue to reduce contact at check-in and check-out via contactless payment and by using Perspex screens within the Reception area and till areas. Room key cards are being thoroughly sanitised before re-use, and our housekeeping team ensures that all guest bedrooms are deep cleaned. There are also hand sanitiser stations in key locations throughout the hotel.
HAVE YOU REVISED YOUR CLEANING STANDARDS?
We have a range of enhanced sanitisation and cleaning measures in place. Our Mercure hotels also follow Accor’s ALLSAFE policy, and our Holiday Inns follow IHG’s Clean Promise policy.
– Thorough deep cleaning and sanitisation
– Use of globally recognised chemical provider Ecolab and increased use of appropriate chemicals
– The increased time allotted for room cleaning to enable a deeper level of cleaning
– Disinfection of all touchpoints within bedrooms and a ‘one cloth per room’ policy, meaning a new/fresh cleaning cloth in every room
– Revised team training to educate on the new standards required
– Increased frequency of cleaning in public areas including touchpoints such as lift controls, door handles and soap dispensers, etc
– Increased cleaning regimes back of house
– Use of appropriate PPE, which is changed regularly, for housekeeping team members
