- New normal: Delhi hotels at your service with hidden smile
The routine security check at the entrance, the man with the valet ticket at the porch, the ubiquitous mustachioed guard and the warm greetings on entering the lobby are pleasant memories of visits to hotels. In the new normal for the hospitality industry, though, you neither see the smile nor the moustache. They are hidden behind masks. You also don’t get to admire the bright attire of hotel employees, who all don hazmat suits. And rather than a warm namaste, a temperature gun welcomes you. Inside, the nonchalant charm of poring through a menu has been replaced with scanning a QR code. Buffet is ‘on the table’ and payment, virtual. While there’s no human touch involved anymore, the eyes are everywhere, keeping watch on everything happening around. Nitesh Gandhi, GM, JW Marriott, Aerocity, promises a contactless stay and in-room and restaurant dining at K3. What has enthused him are diners returning after the hotel reopened. Gandhi assures every guest of the highest hygiene standard. As does T J Joulak, GM (Special Projects), Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts, who insists his hotel will provide a safe environment to guests planning a stay or popping in for a meal at its buzzing Tamra or Shang Palace or Mister Chai. It has been a whole new experience for the chefs as well. Neeraj Tyagi, director of culinary, Pullman and Novotel, Aerocity, explained that no vendor was allowed into the hotel and most goods were received are unboxed and disinfected in a special area specially created outside the hotel. For dining, one specified attendant serves a table and the experience is contactless. “Many of our staff are staying in the hotel and have daily medical checks,” Tyagi said. “We are following the strictest protocol and so seeing good traction from the moment we reopened.” - Delhi Metro Rail Corporation stops Phase - 4 work after forest department notice
