August 02, 2020 | by: Theresa Galles

As people start to consider travel again, how to stay safe and healthy is at the forefront of many people’s minds. Hotels especially will need to remain vigilant with its hygiene and sanitation protocols. Many of the larger hotel chains have released the details about their new procedures, including Marriott International, Hyatt, and Hilton.

Hilton now has partnerships with the makers of Lysol as well as the Mayo Clinic, and have developed new procedures that include disinfecting things like door handles, light switches, remotes, and other high-touch areas. Also, amenities like paper and pens will be removed and public areas such as lobbies and fitness areas will be cleaned more often. Touchless check-in will also be available from the Hilton app, along with the ability to choose your room and access the room using your mobile device.

Marriott International has announced new higher-tech sanitation measures such as hospital grade disinfectant and electrostatic sprayers. They are also trying out UV technology to sanitize shared devices, hotel keys, and others items.

Other large hotel chains have released their sanitation and hygiene protocols, which you can largely find on their websites. Here are some examples:
