Looking Into 2021 and Beyond With the Ritz-Carlton
What happens when a luxury hotel has to grapple with a new event landscape? We could only imagine the challenge that so many of our favorite venues and hotels faced during the pandemic; with seemingly endless months of canceled bookings and empty rooms. Now, as restrictions are beginning to lift and we prepare for the possibility of live events in the coming months, Kennedy Events is staying on top of new regulations for in-person events that will keep our clients and their guests safe and healthy.
KE Creative Director and Senior Producer Marianne Jackson recently sat down with Joel Costa, Director of Sales and Marketing at The Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco, to talk about his experience working at the iconic Half Moon Bay property during the lock-down and get some insight into their re-opening plans. If you’re curious about what happened with hotel properties during COVID or what measures they’re taking to ensure the health and safety of their guests, you won’t want to miss this great conversation. Watch and learn about:
The impact of the hotel’s closure in April 2020 and how they adapted its services
The intuitive system they created to identify COVID protocols by utilizing color-coded bracelets
The safety procedures that were incorporated and what they plan to continue in the future
