OUR COMMITMENT TO CLEANLINESS

We take hygiene and cleanliness standards very seriously and are taking additional steps to ensure the safety of our guests and our Ladies and Gentlemen. On a daily basis, we are working to ensure we meet the latest guidelines on hygiene and cleaning. Our Resorts’ health and safety measures are designed to address a broad spectrum of viruses, such as COVID-19, and include everything from handwashing to cleaning product specifications to guest room and common area procedures.

 

Guest Rooms

Every guest room is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected consistently after each guest stay. We will continue to provide housekeeping services daily while you are away from the room.

 

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Our Ladies and Gentlemen will wear PPE (Face Coverings, Gloves etc.).

City Ordinance 20-5329 requires that face coverings be worn in indoor and outdoor public locations and businesses within the City of Sarasota in order to help slow the spread of COVID-19. Began July 1, 2020, and will be in place for 60 days. If you are inside or outside at a public place in Sarasota and can’t physically or socially distance and do not fall within one of the exceptions list in the ordinance, you need to wear a mask. Children under the age of 18 (as guided by their parents), those who are eating or drinking, inside a hotel room or other place of lodging, exercising outdoors while maintaining physical distance from others, those traveling in private automobiles.

The full text of the ordinance is available at SarasotaFL.gov.

 

Enhanced Public Space Cleaning

We have increased the frequency of cleaning and disinfection, especially in high-traffic areas like restrooms and elevators, and have provided more hand sanitizing stations.

 

Social Distancing Practices

You will see signage throughout the hotel promoting physical distancing and encouraging guests to stand at least 6 feet apart.

 

Temperature Screening

We temperature screen our Ladies and Gentlemen at entry points.

 

Technology

• • Encouraging use of Bonvoy app to allow guests the opportunity for mobile check in and out and mobile key

• • Encouraging use of Chime app which allows meeting planners to mobilize the entire hotel during event phase (request service attention, in-room temperature change, set up changes, etc. all at the touch of a button)

 

Meeting and Function Set Up
