Our Commitment to Cleanliness & Hygiene:

At PearlTree Hotels & Resorts, we have always practised being open and transparent with our guests and colleagues. Our hotels have always placed the highest emphasis on the safety and wellbeing of our guests with exacting standards of cleanliness and hygiene. With the risks associated with COVID 19, and in keeping with World Health Organization and Ministry of Tourism guidelines, we have implemented a number of additional measures across all our hotels. In keeping with our ethos we felt that it is only right to share these processes, which we have put together with meticulous care, for the benefit of our guests.

Our hotels continue to be the best and safest option, even more so now than ever before. We have introduced a new Hospitality Concept named Staygiene to boost our efforts in maintaining highest standards of hygienic and healthy environments in our hotels & resorts.

Sanitizing Our Hotels & Resorts

Sanitization works are done on a daily-basis at Pearltree Hotels & Resorts to prevent the spread of COVID-19. All the staffs at our 3 hotels – Pearltree Hotel, Kushalpalli Resort & Matha Forest Resort follow strict protocols to maintain healthy environments.

Staygiene: a Hospitality Concept

Staygiene is a new hospitality concept of Pearltree Hotels & Resorts. It aims to provide hospitality services under constantly monitored procedures to maintain highest standards of hygienic and healthy environments. Together we can stop the spread of COVID-19 and lead the way to others.

Staygiene: a Hospitality Concept by Pearltree Hotels & Resorts

The safety and welfare of our valuable guests and associates is our top most priority. Our organisation Pearltree Hotels & Resorts has executed these hygiene and safety measures across all our 3 hotels based on the directives received from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, FSSAI and the local government authorities, on this COVID-19 pandemic.

This article provides a synopsis of the modifications to our standard operating design and delivery procedures that all the 3 hotels & resorts of Pearltree Hotels & Resorts would be following presently, to make our guests and team members aware of the necessity of social distancing, enhanced hygiene and safety measures, while still continuing with the essence of our service and hospitality.

These amendments to our regular operating standards will be momentary, until health and safety conditions improve globally. Due to the fluctuating conditions over the next few months, these guidelines and procedures will be continuously evolving and would be subject to changes or modifications, as directed by circumstances and the local authorities.

We will continue to deliver our environmentally sensitive services and hospitality to our esteemed guests across all our hotels & resorts. Our sales associates and frontline team members at all our hotels are always available to assist you.

We have divided our Hospitality Concept into 4 parts, they are: A) The Guest Experience, B) The Hygiene Protocols, C) The Well-being Of Our Staff & Guests, D) The Health We Care.
