Equinox Hotels has coupled the strictest hygiene and cleaning standards in the industry with an unparalleled approach to well-being. This holistic approach goes above and beyond by delivering a personalized experience for our guests, especially as it pertains to health, service and safety. Protocols are in place to communicate with guests in advance of their stay to ensure all health and safety requests are honored.
All hotel members who book direct receive an automated pre-arrival email and/or SMS text message. In addition to the automated communication, the Reservations and Front Office teams attempt to reach all hotel members prior to arrival to ensure stay details are properly captured, requests are noted, and any concerns addressed. A variety of “contactless” services are offered and explained in detail prior to arrival, giving hotel members the option of choosing their level of comfort and interaction during their stay.
Hotel members may choose to have a complete contactless stay experience by taking advantage of Equinox Hotels powerful technology and mobile platforms. Features include SMS/Chat, mobile check-in, contactless in-room dining, service requests, and check-out.
Housekeeping teams complete a rigorous checklist for hospital grade cleanliness. All disinfectants and virucides have been selected from the EPA-list of chemicals designated as effective against SARS-CoV-2 virus and used in accordance with or exceeding the CDC sanitization guidelines, while also being safe for associates and hotel members.
In addition to EPA and CDC-approved sanitization products and protocols, hotel associates use cordless electrostatic handheld and backpack sprayers that enable 360-degree touchless disinfection, reaching 3x more coverage than conventional sprayers. Touchless, medical-grade UV-C sanitizers are available for hotel members and associates to disinfect small electronics (cell phones, tablets, AirPods) in 30 seconds. In addition, cleaning staff will utilize portable UV-C sanitizing light wands and units with “Germ Guard” filtration technology.
Public spaces in the hotel will be cleaned and disinfected frequently throughout the day and night with emphasis on high-touch spaces. Traditional cleaning methods will be heavily augmented during the overnight shift and all public spaces will be thoroughly disinfected via electrostatic sprayer.
Hand sanitizer dispensers will be placed at key hotel member contact areas. Touchless, medical-grade UV-C sanitizers will be made available for hotel members to disinfect small electronics (cell phones, tablets, AirPods) in 30 seconds.
Check-in is at 3pm and check-out is at noon.
Equinox Hotel New York has a private front drive which is a major differentiator from other NYC hotels. Hotel members have a spacious private street entrance to the hotel. On arrival, hotel associates will open the hotel member’s vehicle door, offer a friendly greeting and a hand sanitizer wipe. Handshakes will not be initiated by hotel associates.
When a hotel member arrives to the hotel, prior to touching any personal belongings, the associate will ask if the hotel member would like assistance with their luggage, having each person “opt-in”. In addition, the hotel member will be offered to have their luggage UV-C light sanitized upon arrival and/or departure.
