Leading the way to a safer and healthier hotel stay

05 November 2020

Committed in their philosophy for environmental change, while providing a luxury experience for guests, the revolutionary brand SH Hotels & Resorts has been at the forefront of implementing change to their day-to-day operations in order to safely and cautiously welcome guests back following the easing of lockdown restrictions across the globe.

Not only introducing an abundance of stringent hygiene practices such as hospital-grade EPA approved sanitising and virus-eliminating UV technologies, 1 Hotels has also curated an extensive range of contactless services, further enhancing the guest experience and ensuring the health and wellbeing of the community.

Welcomed with a wellness kit for personal use, guests’ luggage and packages are sanitized using UV technology upon arrival, before making their way to their sanitized and sealed guestroom.

Adapting quickly with the help of technology, contactless guest services including check-in, mobile key, television controls, menu ordering and payment, service requests, concierge support, front desk text messaging and check out have all been made available via the 1 Hotels mobile app.

Adhering to social distancing practices, updated spacious floor plans allow guests to eat at a safe distance from any other patrons, while the casual dining spaces will feature amped up pre-packaged and sealed offerings to keep guests nourished on the go.

Pioneers in the hotel and sustainability landscape, their commitment to leading change in light of Covid-19’s impacts across the globe is inspiring and one that is very much admired as Seafarers’ prepares to bring 1 Hotel and Homes to Melbourne in an Australian first.
