Our extensive cleaning standards help you host meetings and events

While COVID-19 may have changed the way we gather, our hotels provide a variety of event facilities so you can still host successful functions. We’ve developed a 10-step protocol for these areas to ensure your venue has been extensively cleaned and disinfected prior to your arrival. Your health is a priority to us, and we invite you to learn more about our sanitizing process.
