To further welcome back guests and put them at ease, Marriott is introducing new cleanliness protocols.

* Marriott Global Cleanliness Council: Consisting of in-house and outside experts in food and water safety, hygiene and infection prevention, and hotel operations, the council has been developing a new generation of global hospitality cleanliness standards, norms and behaviors for our more than 7,400 properties around the globe.

* New Cleaning Technologies: We have initiated plans to roll out enhanced technologies at our properties over the next few months, including electrostatic sprayers and the highest classification of disinfectants recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and World Health Organization to sanitize surfaces throughout hotels.

* Cleaning Regimen Changes: When guests check into hotels over the next few months, they will notice a number of additions to the cleaning regimen designed to set an even higher standard of cleanliness for the hotels as well as modifications to associate-guest protocols developed to be consistent with recommended social distancing guidelines. These will include more intensive cleaning of high-touch areas such as TV remotes, door handles, tables and chairs, HVAC controls, bathroom surfaces and more, and rearranged furniture in public spaces including restaurants to ensure social distancing.

* Contactless Check-In: The Marriott Bonvoy app enables guests to check in and checkout, chat with on-property associates to have special requests fulfilled during their stay and at more than 3,400 hotels and increasing skip the front desk completely using their smartphone as their room key.

* Wearing Masks: In addition to requiring all hotel associates to wear masks indoors, the mandate has been extended to guests staying at properties in the, U.S. and Canada in addition to any countries or regions where masks are already required indoors.
