Certification Certification

Park Terrace Hotels’ mission has always been to provide a safe haven for business travelers and urban explorers. As we all face the effects and implications of COVID-19, we remain even more committed to the health and safety of our team members and guests. In an effort to further improve our already thorough cleaning guidelines, we have thoughtfully and methodically enhanced every aspect of our cleaning and safety procedures as part of the “PTH Certified Safe & Clean Program”. Our program not only adheres to the guidelines set forth by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the US, the National Health Service (NHS) and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in the UK, and the World Health Organization (WHO), but is also certified by both medical and industry experts in terms of cleaning products, cleaning procedures and materials. Park Terrace will go through strict, frequent audits to ensure compliance and adherence to the program.

We are prepared and eager to welcome you back into a safe and comfortable Park Terrace Hotel.

We hope to see you soon.

Sincerely,

John Paul Nichols

Chief Executive Officer
