Our commitment to well-being
Salamander’s entire portfolio is among first in the world to achieve the new health security verification from Sharecare and Forbes Travel Guide.
Salamander Hotels & Resorts is proud to announce that all of its properties are among the first hotels in the world to become Sharecare Health Security VERIFIED® with Forbes Travel Guide. The comprehensive facility verification helps ensure that guests and travel planners can book with confidence at properties that have appropriate health safety procedures in place.
This verification comes with an easily identifiable “seal of approval” – the Sharecare VERIFIED® with Forbes Travel Guide badge – based on a hotel’s compliance with expert-validated best practices that minimize the risk and impact of COVID-19 and potential future public health events.
Developed by Forbes Travel Guide, the global authority on genuine Five-Star service, and digital health industry leader Sharecare, the comprehensive verification covers more than 360 standards across health and hygiene protocols, cleaning products and procedures, ventilation, physical distancing, the guest experience, and health safety communication with guests and employees. Hotels are required to verify their health protocols on an ongoing basis to ensure continued compliance with the most up-to-date global health standards.
“Particularly given the unprecedented times we find ourselves in, I consider it my duty to do whatever it takes to restore confidence among not only guests but also hospitality professionals; we, after all, are nothing without the deeply dedicated people that make up our workforce,” said Sheila Johnson, founder and CEO of Salamander Hotels & Resorts. “At Salamander, we take great pride in the fact that all of our destinations are now Sharecare Health Security VERIFIED® with Forbes Travel Guide. Though we must remain vigilant, this verification is proof positive that we are putting safety at the forefront today while working to ensure a secure, healthy future for anyone that may grace the halls of our properties.”
There are only a small group of properties worldwide that have so far received the verification, including all of Salamander’s. They are: • Salamander Resort & Spa, Middleburg, VA • Hotel Bennett, Charleston, SC • Innisbrook Resort, Tampa Bay, FL • Half Moon, Montego Bay, Jamaica
“The pandemic has made it clear that hotels and resorts must, first and foremost, assure guests of their safety,” said Filip Boyen, CEO of Forbes Travel Guide. "By becoming VERIFIED®, Salamander Hotels & Resort has demonstrated its commitment to creating a culture of accountability and following global best practices to heighten health security, certified by a third party.”
At Salamander Hotels & Resorts, we have always been committed to the well-being of our guests and service professionals. Our dedication to the health and safety of the entire Salamander family which includes each and every guest is unwavering. We want you to return to Salamander Hotels & Resorts with trust and confidence, so you can relax and enjoy your time with us.
