  • (1888PressRelease) November 19, 2012 - Montreal, Quebec Downtown Montreal's Hotel Le Crystal once again takes service excellence and customer comfort to new levels. The five-star boutique hotel today announced the launch of its Platinum Certified Hotel Hygiene Standard, citing the importance of proactive management in the current context of international travel and transferable bacteria.

    A first for the hospitality industry, Le Crystal's new hygiene standard promises customers hygienically optimal and ideal suites—along with the peace of mind of knowing that they will enjoy a bacteria and pest-free stay.

    Since its opening in 2008, Hotel Le Crystal has promoted itself as having the most hygienic bed solution in hospitality. All beds feature silk pillow covers and bed covers in triple sheeting to prevent allergies and bedbugs, and all bed linens are replaced for each check-in. In 2009, Le Crystal again took the lead in hotel hygiene in when, in response to the H1N1 virus, it became the first hotel in Montreal to install hand sanitizing stations in all high-traffic public areas. With its new hygiene program, Le Crystal takes both in-room and public hygiene one step further by identifying "high-touch" surfaces and items in suites, and by using hospital-certified disinfectants and other treatments to ensure they are germ free.

    "Our suites and amenities are designed for the total comfort," says Geoffrey Allan, Le Crystal's Vice President of Operations and Development. "It's important that our guests can fully enjoy their suite and public areas with complete confidence, knowing that abnormal bacteria counts will never be a concern."
