Hotel Maya: ‘Hilton Defining a New Standard of Hotel Cleanliness
05.26.20
Hilton rolled out a new program to deliver an industry-defining standard of cleanliness and disinfection in Hilton properties around the world. In a first for the hospitality business, Hilton will collaborate with RB, maker of Lysol and Dettol, and consult with Mayo Clinic to develop elevated processes and Team Member training to help Hilton guests enjoy an even cleaner and safer stay from check-in to check-out.
Hilton CleanStay with Lysol protection, as the program will be called in North America, is expected to launch in June and will be a rigorous system that incorporates RB’s trusted know-how and scientific approach to cleaning practices and product offerings. Experts from Mayo Clinic’s Infection Prevention and Control team will advise and assist in enhancing Hilton’s cleaning and disinfection protocols.
In keeping with the new Hilton CleanStay with Lysol protection program, Hotel Maya – a DoubleTree by Hilton General Manager Greg Guthrie provides the following COVID-19 new insight and directives on the next phase for the Downtown Long Beach waterfront resort:
“In these challenging times, we are all navigating through uncertainty for ourselves, our loved ones and our community. In the midst of this global situation, most companies, communities and people are adopting a ‘new normal.’ Now, more than ever, we are committed to the health and safety of our team members and guests.
This isn’t business as usual, and it’s a time of great stress and uncertainty. Everything we do, and every decision that we make, will center on our guests’ and our team members’ safety and wellbeing. Hotel Maya – a Doubletree by Hilton is transforming quickly to ensure that we will be the most hygienically focused hotel or resort anywhere. Moments of extraordinary challenge test our collective will and we believe it is in times like these that the power of hospitality is needed most of all. We are all in this together.
We appreciate your loyalty and it is our sincere hope that our actions and communications regarding COVID-19 allow our team members and customers to feel safe, fully supported and confident throughout this ever-evolving situation in both the short and long-terms.
We hope you are staying healthy and safe and we look forward to welcoming you to Hotel Maya – a Doubletree by Hilton in the very near future.”
