Doctors, nurses, EMTs, paramedics and other frontline
medical staff on the gulf coast will be provided a hotel stay free of charge at
Innisfree’s properties
Gulf Breeze, Fla., April 13, 2020 - Innisfree Hotels, Northwest Florida’s
largest owner of beachfront hotels, announced today that the company will
donate up to 6,300 room nights to frontline medical professionals leading the
fight against COVID-19.
Beginning this week, Innisfree will make rooms available
without charge to doctors, nurses, EMTs, paramedics and other frontline medical
staff who need a place to sleep, recharge or isolate from their families
through the end of May. The initiative will be executed in partnership with
Hilton and American Express’s commitment to donate up to 1 million hotel room
nights across the United States.
“In the spirit of hospitality, Innisfree is opening
our doors to medical workers and first responders who are courageously and
selflessly serving on the frontlines of the gulf coast,” said Ted Ent,
President and CEO, Innisfree Hotels. “The concept of helping those who help us
has long been ingrained in our company culture, so the decision to join Hilton
in providing relief for thousands of medical staff enduring long hours under
challenging circumstances was an easy one,” Ent explained.
Innisfree is working with local organizations who represent
healthcare workers in Pensacola, Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, Fort Walton
Beach, Panama City Beach, and Sarasota to provide access to the program. Rooms
will be available across a variety of Innisfree properties, including Hilton
Pensacola Beach, Hampton Inn Pensacola Beach, Hilton Garden Inn Orange Beach,
Hampton Inn & Suites Orange Beach, Hilton Garden Inn Fort Walton Beach,
Hampton Inn & Suites Panama City Beach and Embassy Suites Sarasota.
“It is an honor to offer the healthcare heroes in
several of our communities a place to rest and recharge during this time,” Ent
said. “Our goal is to support individuals who would otherwise have to spend
their own money on accommodations as a show of both thanks and compassion.”
Hotels will be staffed by Team Members who have received
additional training on relevant health and safety measures to safeguard their
own and their guests’ well-being. All common areas at each property will
continue to be sanitized using industrial-grade cleaners and updated cleaning
protocols.
Innisfree will work together with its local partners to book
rooms through the program, which is currently planned to cover stays from April
13 through May 31, 2020.
