Recently, with the goal of welcoming, safeguarding, and taking care of guests, Novotel Manila Araneta City has implemented extensive health and safety procedures in an effort to protect the well-being of its staff, guests, and partners during the COVID-19 pandemic. These measures are in accordance with ALLSAFE, a label certification created by Accor and meticulously screened by Bureau Veritas, an international company that specializes in testing, inspection, and certification of companies belonging to various industries such as hospitality.

 

 

With the easing of travel restrictions, and as more places around the country transition to a modified general community quarantine (MGCQ), the hotel anticipates the reopening of its doors to welcome guests and make them feel that it is once again ALLSAFE to stay, ALLSAFE to dine and ALLSAFE to meet and celebrate at Novotel Manila.
