Our Commitment to Health & Safety

We are pleased to share the steps we are taking to enhance our cleaning protocols and improve safety measures throughout the Hotel.

Employee & Guest Health

Hand Sanitizer Dispensers

The Hotel will provide hand sanitizer for all guests, employees and visitors. The dispensers will be placed in high traffic areas with additional sanitizing stations available throughout the Hotel.

Face Coverings

In accordance with province-wide regulations, masks or face coverings are optional throughout all indoor public spaces.

Employees & Guest Health Concerns

Our employees have been given clear instructions on how to respond swiftly and report all presumed cases of COVID-19 on property and will be ready to provide support to our guests as needed. Employees are instructed to stay home if they do not feel well and to contact a manager if they notice a coworker or guest displaying or complaining of a cough, fever, shortness of breath or other known symptoms of COVID-19. Our ultimate goal will always remain the same. We will strive to keep you and your guests healthy and safe at OPUS Vancouver.

The Guest Experience

Front Desk, Concierge and Transportation Services

High touch surfaces such as bell carts, guest room key cards, pens, cruiser bikes, our hotel car, and all desks and countertops will be sanitized between each guest/employee’s use. Guest laundry and dry-cleaning services will be available using contactless pick-up and delivery protocols if requested. All vehicles and car keys will be disinfected after each use. 

Guest Rooms & Elevators

Industry leading cleaning and disinfecting protocols are used to clean our guest rooms, and elevators, with extra attention paid to high-touch items. Upon check out each room will be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. An employee will be present to disinfect the button panels in our elevators at regular intervals. No more than two guests will be permitted per elevator.

Cleaning Products and Protocols

We will work to maintain our existing high standards of cleanliness and provide additional training to our Housekeeping team regarding any new guidelines and protocols outlined by the BC Government. Housekeeping services will be modified as restrictions and guidelines from the PHO change. Enhanced cleaning protocols will be implemented in all guest rooms. Linens and all touch points will be thoroughly cleaned with hospital-grade chemicals aimed at eliminating any traces of the virus. The housekeeping team will use HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) vacuum filters which are able to capture bacteria and moisture that would normally be recirculated in the air. The frequency of cleaning and disinfecting public and high touch areas such as entrance doors, elevator buttons, front desk counters and common areas will be increased.
