Hotels will need to prove that they have fulfilled enhanced health and safety protocols for cleaning customer rooms, meeting areas and public spaces in their premises, as well as back-of-house areas. It is expected that auditing actions will ultimately implement to measure hotel yielding with a stated criterion for cleanliness. Travellers expect transparency among cleaning, hygiene and sanitisation measures in the hotel stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alas, while we all cherish the breakfast buffet, it may become a thing of the history. Social distancing will be impracticable to maintain as everyone crowd around various food and beverage dishes, and the frequent handling of jugs is too risky moving ahead. Some hotels may think of offering breakfast or brunch in the room, or meals in pleasant takeaway baskets where the travellers can consume where they prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtual check-ins and digital keys using your mobile will be applied at some hotels. Practical touchless solutions will be implemented to avoid virus transmission along with enabling a positive travel encounter. The body temperature will be recorded at the entrance, followed up by sanitisation stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nCooling out in hotel pools and becoming active in their gyms are great perks to staying at hotels, but they will have to undergo new rules when they re-open. Scheduled gym time-slots will be introduced like spacing exercise machines at least two metres apart to aid social distancing, and cleaning touch points of gear after each person, in addition to the usual cleaning schedule. At least a 6ft distance will be maintained between lounge chairs at the pool. Swimming pools should be appropriately chlorinated, and disinfection routines will play a vital role in the changing rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nNew services<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nHotels are switching their services in both the short-term and long-term. Since offices, cafes, and co-working places are no-go zones right now; many hotels are allowing reduced-rate day stays so that customers can get the work done in a peaceful space or even host a virtual meeting with a serene backdrop, and take virtual meetings to an attractive next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nCommunication is one of the crucial things that matter when it comes to after COVID-19 hotel stays. Social media will become an even more efficient way for brands to notify travellers about COVID-19 caused updates and upgrades, and to show how new rules are part of designing an appealing, unique hotel experience.

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nTo inspire guests to visit hotels more frequently, some hotels are also extending their loyalty plans. Some hotels launched a gift card presentation that encourages people to spend in future stays \u2013 with the advantage of a percentage off on room rates. There are hotels which will hand you a care package, including a board game, food and beverages to encourage spending quality time with family away from the digital devices world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nMinimalism<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nWhile we all relish the luxury finishes in hotel rooms, it looks like minimalism will be the way ahead in overcoming the number of items that need to be sanitised. This means maybe waving goodbye to complimentary paper, pens, magazines, hangers and guest directories, and other things that we love but are not essential to the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alas, while we all cherish the breakfast buffet, it may become a thing of the history. Social distancing will be impracticable to maintain as everyone crowd around various food and beverage dishes, and the frequent handling of jugs is too risky moving ahead. Some hotels may think of offering breakfast or brunch in the room, or meals in pleasant takeaway baskets where the travellers can consume where they prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtual check-ins and digital keys using your mobile will be applied at some hotels. Practical touchless solutions will be implemented to avoid virus transmission along with enabling a positive travel encounter. The body temperature will be recorded at the entrance, followed up by sanitisation stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nRecreation and leisure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nCooling out in hotel pools and becoming active in their gyms are great perks to staying at hotels, but they will have to undergo new rules when they re-open. Scheduled gym time-slots will be introduced like spacing exercise machines at least two metres apart to aid social distancing, and cleaning touch points of gear after each person, in addition to the usual cleaning schedule. At least a 6ft distance will be maintained between lounge chairs at the pool. Swimming pools should be appropriately chlorinated, and disinfection routines will play a vital role in the changing rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nNew services<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nHotels are switching their services in both the short-term and long-term. Since offices, cafes, and co-working places are no-go zones right now; many hotels are allowing reduced-rate day stays so that customers can get the work done in a peaceful space or even host a virtual meeting with a serene backdrop, and take virtual meetings to an attractive next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nCommunication<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nCommunication is one of the crucial things that matter when it comes to after COVID-19 hotel stays. Social media will become an even more efficient way for brands to notify travellers about COVID-19 caused updates and upgrades, and to show how new rules are part of designing an appealing, unique hotel experience.

Some hotels launched a gift card presentation that encourages people to spend in future stays \u2013 with the advantage of a percentage off on room rates. There are hotels which will hand you a care package, including a board game, food and beverages to encourage spending quality time with family away from the digital devices world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nMinimalism<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nWhile we all relish the luxury finishes in hotel rooms, it looks like minimalism will be the way ahead in overcoming the number of items that need to be sanitised. This means maybe waving goodbye to complimentary paper, pens, magazines, hangers and guest directories, and other things that we love but are not essential to the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who doesn’t prefer beginning the day off with a plate of scrambled eggs, toast, and sliced cheeses and meats? Alas, while we all cherish the breakfast buffet, it may become a thing of the history.
