Park Inn by Radisson Cape Town Newlands has been awarded the internationally recognised Safehotels certification. The certification will make the Park Inn by Radisson Cape Town Newlands one of 61 hotels already awarded in a series of planned certifications within the Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group.
In December 2014, the Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group signed an agreement with Safehotels – a globally recognised security consultancy. The agreement made Carlson Rezidor the first major international hotel group using the acclaimed independent certification programme to benefit guests, employees and owners. Park Inn by Radisson Cape Town Newlands completed the Safehotels official certification process, and was today awarded Premium level certification.
“It is a great honour to attain this type of certification. Serving and taking care of guests is our core business. Safety and security is the base of that core, and having an independent certification confirms that our foundation complies with a solid, internationally recognised standard,” says Clinton Thom, general manager of Park Inn by Radisson Cape Town Newlands.
“Safehotels certification confirms that the hotel focuses on key elements of guest security relating to personal property and has appropriate response plans if ever there is an accident or any kind of emergency. The certificate shows the hotel is sincere in its guest’s personal well-being. Being independently audited and certified yearly by Safehotels strengthen the value of that communication immensely. The Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group has taken the already high level of internal precautions one step further by signing with Safehotels,” adds Hans Kanold, CEO for Safehotels Alliance AB.
During 2015, over 70 selected Rezidor hotels in Europe, Middle East and Africa will undergo the Safehotels certification process.
