When you’re ready to travel again, we’ll be ready to welcome you.
As the world adjusts to new travel norms and expectations, we’re enhancing the experience for you – our hotel guests – by redefining cleanliness and supporting wellbeing throughout your stay. We are expanding our commitment to cleanliness by:
Using new science-led protocols and service measures
Partnering with industry leading experts
Launching a global IHG Clean Promise
These strengthened procedures are designed to give you greater confidence and hotel
teams the protection needed.
Good isn’t good enough – we’re committed to high levels of cleanliness. That means clean, well maintained, clutter free rooms that meet our standards. If this isn’t what you find when you check-in then we promise to make it right.
- Reception: Reduced contact at check-in, touchless transactions, sanitizer stations, sanitized key-cards, paperless check-out
- Public Spaces and Facilities: Additional deep cleaning of high touch surfaces, social distancing, ‘last cleaned’ charts, best practices for pools, fitness centers and lounges
- Guest Room: Visible verification of sanitized items (e.g. glassware, remote control), reduction of in-room furnishings/high-touch items, new laundry protocols, use of electrostatic technology
- Food & Beverage: New standards and service approach to buffets, banquets, room-service and catering
Supporting the Wellbeing of Guests and Colleagues
Enabling the personal wellbeing of guests and colleagues is key. IHG is working closely with a team of medical experts at the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic to develop guidance and resources for hotel teams on returning to work and keeping guests safe in this new environment, which may include:
- Cleanliness information in hotels and on IHG’s booking channels
- Social distancing operating procedures and signage
- Guidance on the use of protective equipment as necessary by hotel colleagues
- Updated colleague training and certification
- Availability of individual guest amenity cleaning kits
- Hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes available in guest rooms and at high-touch points throughout hotels
IHG Clean Promise
Underpinning all of this will be our IHG Clean Promise. Rolling out globally from 1 June 2020, you can be reassured that:
Good isn’t good enough – we are committed to high levels of cleanliness.
That means clean, well maintained, clutter free rooms that meet our standards.
Leading this work is our Global Cleanliness Board, a group of IHG experts in operations, health, safety and guest experience working with our external specialists from Cleveland Clinic to define solutions and best practice.
