Are hotels open during the Covid-19 pandemic?

Principal Business Travel’s key worker customers have been on the move throughout all 3 lockdowns.

They have been undertaking their essential works.

Throughout the Coronavirus pandemic, Principal Business Travel has ensured accommodation providers meet strict criteria prior to recommending and confirming any reservations.

In addition to confirming a property is within the set budget and in a suitable location, we have also:

  • Confirmed the property is open (it has been surprising how many websites indicate accommodation is open when in fact it is not).
  • Checked the current clientele that is permitted to stay there; eg: key workers, essential business travellers, elite athletes.
  • Requested in-house policies in relation to social distancing, health and safety measures, housekeeping and deep clean methods.
  • Catering provision for breakfast, as well as other meals throughout the day and evening. Is the restaurant open / operating a grab and go policy / what is the room service provision?
  • Researched the local area for takeaway and delivery services, as well as supermarkets for self catering options.

Sourcing accommodation can at times be a lengthy process. With these additional measures in place, it takes even longer. Contact us and let us conduct the research for you. Use your time wisely.
