Jumeirah’s Hotel Awarded Highest Hygiene Standards
Jumeirah Al Naseem in Dubai becomes the first hotel in the world to be awarded with the Bureau Veritas Safeguard Label, a recognition of the highest hygiene standards.
Bureau Veritas – a world leader in testing, inspection and certification services – has developed detailed checklists with global health, safety and hygiene specialists to ensure that procedures in place for the resumption of operations meet local and international regulations, as well as recognized best practices. It reassures customers with a dedicated global website showing all the labelled entities approved by auditors.
Jumeirah Group has implemented a series of protective measures in its hotels around the globe, designed to keep guests and colleagues safe. These include protective masks, daily temperature checks and extensive hygiene training for all colleagues, strict social distancing across all areas of the hotel including beaches, pools and gyms (when open), tripling fresh air in public areas, sanitization fogging up to three times a day depending on footfall and strict lift etiquette to ensure guests are travelling alone.
In Room Hygiene Measures
Housekeeping fully clean and aerate every day and provide sanitizing and hygiene amenities including mask, gel and wipes. Pillows and duvets undergo a thermal hygiene process while pillow and mattress protectors are changed after each checkout. Rooms are left vacant for three days after each stay as an additional safety measure and, where this is not possible due to high occupancy, the room undergoes a complete sanitization fogging process.
Hygiene in Dining
Precautionary measures include full restaurant sanitization before each service, buffets redefined as á la carte, table distancing and hygiene amenities placed on each table for guests to utilize.
José Silva, Chief Executive Officer of Jumeirah Group: The current situation requires us to go even further to validate the protective measures in place and the Bureau Veritas Safeguard Label is an important tool in restoring confidence and demonstrating our commitment to operate our hotels to the highest global standards.
