The Los Angeles Downtown Center Business Improvement District (BCID) launches a new report on how hotels are responding to the current pandemic. This volume informs potential visitors of which hotels are open and the safety protocols they are implementing.

The report was published to reassure the public of the hotel industry’s renewed commitment to guest safety, especially as Downtown L.A.’s tourism sector reboots. BCID notes that over 36 million people visit the area each year, with tourism accounting for a significant portion of the city’s revenue.

This report is geared towards travelers who are planning to visit L.A. and are looking for safety-compliant hotels. It features establishments from all quarters of the downtown area and options for a wide range of price points.

BCID has made the report free to the public. Those who would like to read it may visit https://downtownla.com/article/how-hotels-in-downtown-los-angeles-are-prioritizing-health-and-safety

Included in the report are 10 hotels that are currently authorized to accept guests. These include industry stalwarts like the Intercontinental Los Angeles Downtown and contemporary options like Hotel Indigo.

Readers will get a glimpse into the concrete ways hotels are responding to the current pandemic, which can help them decide where to stay. Primary among this is disinfection, including constant cleaning of high-touch areas and deep-cleaning of rooms for 24 hours after check-out.

Employees also abide by strict health protocols, including wearing face masks and undergoing temperature checks before reporting for duty. Plexiglass barriers and social distancing markers have been installed to limit direct contact, while sanitizers are freely available to encourage hand hygiene.

Operational tweaks have been implemented such as limiting the number of elevator passengers, higher food safety standards, and reservations for amenity use. Contactless transactions are also encouraged, such as digital payments and in-app check-ins.

A representative from BCID says: “Downtown L.A. joins the global hotel industry’s thrust to provide both top-notch and safety-compliant services to guests. The hotels in our report have carefully crafted their pandemic response and are eager to welcome visitors back to Los Angeles.”
