CHECK Safety First, the independent hotel auditor, has awarded its Cristal Certificate of Achievement to the Al Faisaliah Hotel, Riyadh.
The Rosewood Hotel was recognised for its good standards of hygiene. It is one of only five hotels in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to receive the honour.
Check Safety First was set up to provide business and leisure travellers with information to make holidays and business trips pleasant, convenient and healthy. Auditors visit hotels to perform a 250-point check and only when the hotel reaches a consistent level of risk management is it included in the portfolio of recommended hotels.
“Having joined the Check Safety First system in December 2007, we are honoured to be one of the few hotels in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to have achieved the standards set by the auditors,” said Peter Finamore, managing director of Al Faisaliah Hotel, A Rosewood Hotel.
The award is based on the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point system (HACCP), part of the ISO 2200. Check Safety First has 14 branches spread across the world and 3,000 hotel members, 69 of which are based in Saudi Arabia.
