Lockdown is easing and Sunborn London’s only superyacht hotel is thrilled to announce it has reopened.
Located in the Royal Victoria Docks, Sunborn London Yacht Hotel is moored by the ExCel centre, and in fact never actually closed their doors during the lockdown.
Instead, they were providing logistical support to all NHS and key workers at the Nightingale Hospital, by offering accommodation in its 136 guest rooms, with breakfast and dinner, served canteen style, in the hotel’s Land’s End restaurant.
This has given Sunborn London the advantage to learn and adapt its operations during the course of lockdown, and provide the very highest standards of cleaning, F&B preparation and general post COVID-19 measures, to ensure a safe but inviting environment for their returning guests.
During this time, Sunborn has introduced a number of new implementations and is preparing for the grand re-opening in 10 days time, following a deep, hospital grade sanitisation of all rooms and public spaces.
As a hospitality business Sunborn knows and understands that a warm welcome on arrival and ongoing interaction with staff members is an integral part of staying in a hotel, and they don’t want to lose this very trait which Sunborn has become synonymous with.
Sunborn’s top priority is the health and wellbeing of its guests, and these following measures will help to keep everyone safe, whilst not compromising on the high standards of service and facilities which Sunborn provides.
