Harborough hotel will re-open on Saturday – with a special thank-you discount for NHS, care home and 999 workers

A top Market Harborough hotel will re-open on Saturday – with a special thank-you discount for NHS, care home and 999 workers.

The Three Swans hotel on the High Street will be welcoming people back with a whole raft of measures to keep both customers and staff safe.

“And as a special thank you to the town’s NHS, care home and blue light workers for all their amazing efforts during lockdown, there will also be a 25 per cent discount off all meals during July,” said the town’s historic hotel.

General Manager Tom Reeve said it would be a “momentous moment” after the town centre hotel’s been shut in the Covid-19 lockdown over three months.

Tom said customers arriving at The Three Swans will find an information notice setting out a nine-point safety procedure now in operation.

The plan includes social distancing measures, screens where necessary, single-use menus, a brand-new order and paying App, cashless payments and hand sanitising stations throughout the hotel.

All staff will have their temperatures taken before they begin work in a bid to make sure they are all healthy and don’t have the virus.

The Three Swans will also have a ‘Covid Safe Champion’.

They will spend the entire day sanitizing and cleaning duties, regularly patrolling all public areas.

The hotel has also introduced a separate set of safety measures for guests staying overnight - including a 10-high touch point cleaning protocol, online check in and pre-payment.

And NHS, care home and blue light workers will receive a half price room only discount until the end of July to say a big thank you for their efforts during the unprecedented health emergency.
