“This will enable us to gradually open all our hotels according to the demands of our customers. We are ensuring that the highest standards of sanitation are in place so our guests and staff may feel comfortable and secure. I myself will be visiting the hotels as they open to ensure the proper standards are applied and that we can welcome guests within the traditional Rocco Forte hospitality,” he added.
