“I think it's safe to say that breakfast buffets and communal tables and the kinds of things that had been traditions at many hotels are going away, for who knows how long,' Rudy Tauscher, general manager at the Four Seasons in New York, said.
"We removed minibars, excess hangers, excess linens," Tauscher said."We took extra pillows out, so there are four per room, instead of six.""Currently, there is no in-room housekeeping per se during a guest's stay," Quigley said.Upon arrival at the Four Seasons, guests are given three bags: one for soiled towels, one for soiled bedding and one for trash.
To minimize human contact, Cordell said, Hilton is encouraging guests to take advantage of its digital key program, which enables guests to check in virtually. "We're looking at single-serve options instead of buffets and having a team member serving guests at buffets instead of allowing guests to help themselves," Cordell said.Four Seasons Hotel"In order to keep guests socially distanced, we're looking at offering guests the opportunity to sign up for a specific gym time slot and exploring in-room exercise equipment options," Cordell said.
Some reservation agents may begin asking guests about their health and travel histories before a room can be booked.
