Concept of caring
How may I take care of you?” This has always been the standard Concept Hotels greeting whenever our teams answer the phone or welcome a guest who walks through our doors. Taking care of people, it’s what we do. With this sentiment and spirit in mind, we take tremendous pride in announcing our newest program: Concept of Caring.
Our goal with this program is multifold. We want to provide unparalleled transparency into how we are navigating these uncertain times, and to what extent we will go to protect the wellness of our guests and employees, all of whom we consider family. We have always held the notion that health, safety, and cleanliness are our highest priorities.
Highlights
Electrostatic sprayers
Electrostatic sprayers loaded with Ecolab disinfectant are used to spray and disinfect all rooms and public areas on a daily basis.
Exterior Corridors
Exterior corridor entry via secured key to ensure fresh air circulation and social distancing while entering/leaving the room.
Housekeeping
Our housekeeping staff is not entering guest rooms during stays at this time, unless by special request.
Air Conditioning
We have increased the frequency of air filter replacement and HVAC system cleaning to maximize fresh air exchange.
Rooms
Strategic rotation of guest rooms to ensure maximum downtime between guest stays.
Hand sanitizer stations
We have increased the deployment of hand sanitizer stations throughout hotel public areas, entrances, and employee areas.
Staff Safety Protocol
Employees are required to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including face masks.
Prominent signage displayed
Social distancing signage and floor markings have been added to all public areas to control general crowding.
Tools and equipment
We sanitize during and after each shift, or anytime equipment is transferred to a new employee.
General Detail Cleaning
We have increased the frequency of cleaning with Ecolab & EPA approved hospital-grade disinfectants on all high-touch surfaces and common areas.
CONCEPT HOTELS ENHANCED STANDARDS OF CLEANLINESS
- All hard, soft and porous surfaces are cleaned with Ecolab & EPA approved hospital-grade disinfectants.
- High-touch areas such as door handles, light switches, in-room tablets, coffee machines, minibar refrigerators, and TV remotes are regularly wiped and disinfected.
- We frequently wipe and disinfect all high touch areas in our public spaces as well, including the lobby doors, tables, chairs, elevator buttons, handrails, coffee/tea/water service stations, ice and vending machines.
- We are reconfiguring our room amenities to be increasingly “low-touch”, especially if they are difficult to clean or replace.
- All bed linens and towels are washed with disinfecting laundry detergent. We also frequently wash bed scarfs, bedspreads, and decorative pillows that may not be changed out after every guest.
- We require our entire staff to wear face masks. We have also installed protective shields (sneeze guards) between areas of guest-staff interaction, such as the front desk. If guests are also required by local regulations to wear face masks in public areas, we communicate that clearly before and during their stay
- Since viruses can also survive in droplets for several hours in the air, we ensure that all housekeeping staff clean rooms with appropriate protective gear, including gloves and face masks. We do not allow new guests to occupy the room for several hours after the previous guest has checked out.
- In addition to providing staff with protective gear, we train employees in the proper methods to put on and take off masks and gloves so they do not accidentally contaminate themselves.
- We have created social distance markers in our hotel’s public areas to control check-in lines and general crowding
- We have posted signage for guests with information about recommended public health guidelines, including social distancing, hand washing, coughing and sneezing into a tissue or into your arm, and avoiding handshakes.
