What Are Open Downtown LA Hotels Doing to Protect The Health of Their Guests? The Los Angeles Downtown Center Business Improvement District (BCID) launches a new report on how hotels are responding to the current pandemic. This volume informs potential visitors of which hotels are open and the safety protocols they are implementing. The report was published to reassure guests of the hotel industry’s renewed commitment to safety as Downtown L.A.’s tourism sector reboots. BCID has made the report free to the public. Included in the report are 10 hotels that are currently authorized to accept guests. These include industry stalwarts like the Intercontinental Los Angeles Downtown and contemporary options like Hotel Indigo. You will get a glimpse into the concrete ways hotels are responding to the current pandemic, which can help you decide where to stay. Primary among this is disinfection, including constant cleaning of high- touch areas and deep-cleaning of rooms for 24 hours after check-out. Employees also abide by strict health protocols, including wearing face masks and undergoing temperature checks before reporting for duty. Plexiglass barriers and social distancing markers have been installed, while sanitizers are freely available to encourage hand hygiene. Other tweaks have been implemented such as limiting the number of elevator passengers, higher food safety standards, and reservations for amenities. Contactless transactions are also encouraged, such as digital payments and in-app check-ins. Learn more by visiting the URL in the summary.
