Herald Suites defines a 'better normal'
MANILA, Philippines — As the hospitality industry continues to struggle amid the times, Herald Suites learned from the COVID-19 pandemic by rethinking how the hotel guest's journey should now unfold.
Maximizing guest's utmost safety and comfort and minimizing inconveniences was the necessary place to start.
Looking inward, there were lessons learned by the management and staff that were eye-openers, a fresh sense of appreciation and gratefulness offered a new perspective on everything taken for granted in the past about customer care.
The fact that life as we knew just changed overnight made the hotel staff more sensitive to their guests' needs, as well as their own personal safety and wellbeing.
Better normal in place

Every Herald Suites employee chooses to be at their best, even more so during these times. They continue to pay attention to themselves and their daily routines from grooming to deportment, even if things seem to have slowed down and no one will notice.
Lastly, relationships will live on.
