Our Commitment to Your Health and Safety

As we navigate through the new normal of travel, The Alpha Suites remains committed to maintaining the highest standards of hospitality while reinventing the way we deliver guest experiences for a safe and worry-free stay at your five-star home in the city.

Here are the specific steps that we are implementing as part of our commitment to keeping The Alpha Suites 100% free of COVID-19:

Continuous monitoring of the guidelines of Philippine and global public health authorities (including the World Health Organization) for health and safety protocol
Screening all guests for COVID-19 risks by requiring them to present a negative Antigen Swab Test result and having them complete travel and health screening prior to check-in
Mandatory temperature check, hand sanitization, and use of disinfecting footbath upon entry to hotel
Compulsory wearing of face masks and face shields by all staff and guests within the building complex, and wearing of disposable gloves by our front-line staff
Provision of hand sanitizers at the Front Desk and at our restaurant takeout stations
Enforcement of physical distancing in elevators and common areas of the hotel
Heightened sanitation of all public areas and surfaces every 30 minutes
UV treatment of all suites prior to check-in to ensure the elimination of harmful pathogens on room surfaces
Increased frequency of disinfection of all high-touch areas in the suites
Application of door seal to ensure that the suite has not been accessed by anyone after sanitation by housekeeping

In addition to our heightened cleaning practices, our Housekeeping Team has been implementing frequent disinfection of the high-touch areas in the suites.

Rest easy knowing every suite is sanitized with state-of-the-art UV equipment and cleaned by our meticulous housekeeping team.

All suites are sealed to ensure that no one enters the room prior to the guest’s check-in.

All health protocols of the hotel are being closely monitored and supported by the medical team of Aegle Wellness Center, a state-of-the-art integrative health and wellness center located on-site in the Alphaland Makati Place complex, and which is also a sister company of The Alpha Suites.

Properly dispose of used face masks and other personal protective equipment in the trash bins.
Practice proper handwashing, hygiene, and respiratory etiquette.
Minimize touching of public surfaces.
Avoid sharing food or belongings with other hotel guests.

Proper Handwashing

Wet hands with water and apply soap
Lather your hands by rubbing them together with soap, palm-to-palm and between your fingers
Lather the backs of your hands
Rub fingertips of each hand on your opposite palm
Rub each thumb clasped in your opposite hand
Rub both palms with your fingers, then rinse thoroughly with running water

Respiratory Etiquette

Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing.

Guidelines for Wearing Masks

Before putting on a mask, properly clean hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
Cover your mouth and nose with the mask and make sure there are no gaps between your face and the mask, ensuring it’s snug on the contours of your nose and cheeks, and under your chin.
Avoid touching the mask while using it; if you do, clean your hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
Replace the mask with a new one as soon as it is damp, and do not reuse single-use masks.
Remove the mask by the loops, ties, or bands only (do not touch the front of the mask); and discard immediately in a closed bin.
Clean hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
