As you look forward to better days, Belmont Hotel Manila and Savoy Hotel Manila are getting ready for the “New Normal” as the hotels implement the “#SafeStay… We Care” Health and Safety Campaign. Caring for the well-being of their guests and team members shall always remain our utmost priority when they open their doors once again.
“Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 health crisis and these unprecedented and uncertain times, the team, through careful planning and coordination, have commenced a series of initiatives to ensure that we shall be ready for the “New Norm” and other Government-mandated protocols once we have resumed normal operations,” according to Savoy Hotel Manila and Belmont Hotel Manila – Area General Manager, Avinash Menon. “Additionally, we would like to assure all our patrons and stakeholders that both our Hotels have been regularly and thoroughly Sanitized and Disinfected during the Enhanced Community Quarantine period, and shall continue in the same vein well into the foreseeable future.”
Soon, when the time is right, people shall be raring to travel, go out, and enjoy leisure time once again. In anticipation of this, they are expecting that people shall be more safety-conscious and health is of paramount importance. This is why both Belmont Hotel Manila and Savoy Hotel Manila commit to adapt to and adopt enhanced cleanliness protocols to ensure a “#SafeStay-cation” for all its guests.
To further heighten our goal of providing a safe and healthy environment for all our guests, the hotels have collaborated with Diversey, their partner for many years now in cleaning, sanitation, and maintenance products and services.

As a highly credible and established supplier, our Hotels have created safer, cleaner, and healthy environment across all facilities from our All-Day Dining, Fitness Center, Pool Area, Guest Rooms, to even their Employee Work Spaces. Diversey never failed to deliver revolutionary cleaning and hygiene technologies that provide total confidence to our Hotel guests through the years.
