COVID-19 Update

 

For us at The PK Group of Hotels, Safety and Wellbeing of our guests and associates is of utmost importance. As novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has been declared pandemic by World Health Organisation (WHO); we are closely following guidelines from the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and local health departments.

 

These are challenging times for all of us and we at PK Group are committed to support you, our valued guests and your travel plans as the situation around coronavirus (COVID-19) continue to evolve.

 

We have launched our hygiene, cleanliness and sanitisation program called S.H.I.E.L.D, an all-encompassing program that brings the best of luxury, design, hygiene, safety and service excellence all under one roof. It is an abbreviated form for 

 

S – Sanitisation

H – Hygiene

I – ISO Standard Equipment

E – Excellence

L – Luxury Redefined

D - Distancing

 

PK Group of Hotels is where unusual perspectives are created and this makes every interaction an Anything But OrdinaryTM experience. We have partnered with Diversey, the global leader in hygiene and cleaning technologies, to create an environment focused on health, hygiene, safety and wellbeing.

 

All our hotels have elevated the existing standards of safety and hygiene through S.H.I.E.L.D and have adopted latest technologies for a better experience. 

We would like to update you, as a protocol, a strategic preparedness and response plan is in place. 

 

We take standards of hygiene and cleanliness very sternly and assuring you that we are taking all possible precautionary measures to keep your favourite hotels safe:

• Health: All the guests and employees entering our hotels are undergoing body temperature screening, and are being provided with liquid hand wash and alcohol-based sanitisers. The facility of 24x7 doctor-on-call is made available to timely handle medical emergencies.

 

• Task Force: A task force team is created to immediately respond to any COVID-19 situation that may emerge, at all our hotels.

 

• Sanitisation: All our hotels are adhering to stricter cleaning, sanitisation and disinfecting protocols with special attention given to high-touch surfaces.

 

We would also advise that you keep yourself updated with the latest information from the relevant authorities to travel safer. World Health Organisation provides credible information on protection and safety protocols and rolling updates pertaining to COVID-19.
