Hygiene is a top priority at the Schick Hotels & Restaurants

With regard to the current challenges, we are following the official information and guidelines of the Austrian federal government.

Our top priority is the health of our guests and our employees.

We take the standards for hygiene and cleanliness very seriously and are investing a great deal of money to ensure the safety of our guests and hotel employees. The health and safety measures have been designed to cover a wide range of viruses and other pathogens and include every measure from hand washing hygiene and requirements for cleaning products to cleaning procedures for guest rooms and public areas.

Hotel employees who are healthy, safe and well trained are vitally important for effective cleaning programs.

We keep our employees healthy and safe by doing the following:

• All employee make an officially recognized COVID19 test at least once a week.
• Holding regular training courses on proper hygiene
• Washing hands regularly with warm water and soap for at least 30 seconds
• Cleaning and disinfecting surfaces regularly
• Regularly airing out the hotel rooms, elevators, public areas and restaurant
• If employees are showing any signs of illness, they are asked to stay at home.

Cleaning products and logs

• Rooms
  We follow cleaning and disinfection protocols when preparing rooms after guests leave and before the next guest arrives, paying special attention to items that are touched frequently. You will find a cleaning checklist in every room that our employees perform every day.
• Public Areas 
  We have increased the frequency of cleaning and disinfection of public areas as well, with special attention being paid to the reception, elevators and buttons, door handles, public toilets and room keys. You will find disinfection dispensers throughout the entire public area.
• Back of House 
  In the areas where employees work “behind the scenes”, we have increased the frequency of cleaning and focus on areas that are frequently touched, such as the entrances, changing rooms, laundry rooms and staff offices.
• We have implemented new hygiene standards and have given a lot of thought to how we can keep our team and guests healthy and safe. Despite these changes, we still strive to be environmentally friendly and continue on the path as an eco-label hotel. 

Restaurant/Breakfast Area/Lunch buffet

• All guests have to registrate. We use an online registration tool, www.gastroregistrierung.at, for the registration. Secure data management is guaranteed. Data can only be used in exceptional cases; this data is stored securely and destroyed after 4 weeks.

• Self-service buffet is allowed, but we kindly ask our guests to desinfect their hands (a desinfectant station is availablie at the restaurant and at the buffet).
