MOXY EAST VILLAGE, NYC
This millennial-focused brand joined
in on the global support for those on
the frontlines of the pandemic at 8 pm
April 9 by lighting its windows with blue
(#lightitblue), in a heart-shape.
THE STATLER, DALLAS
The Statler has opened its doors to healthcare
workers free of charge during the COVID-19
pandemic after Centurion American’s Sean Terry
heard about a local nurse who was sleeping on her
balcony to avoid exposing her family to COVID-19.
The family were so moved by the gesture that they
took to social media to share their appreciation.
Terry, who is also mayor of Celina, Texas, realized
that there were many healthcare professionals
who needed help while they were working on the
frontlines and, in collaboration with Centurion
American and partners, is designating two floors
from the historic downtown hotel for free lodging
for medical professionals during the COVID-19
crisis. Each medical professional will be provided a
meal voucher for box breakfast, lunch and dinner,
provided daily by Refined Hospitality Concepts,
which operated the restaurants at The Statler.
BLUEFIELDS BAY VILLAS
JAMAICA
Bluefields Bay Villas is closed until we are
able to receive visitors safely and deliver the
promised product.
We have been facing numerous challenges. The
biggest challenge is having no idea how long
we are going to be closed. We are doing our
best to support our employees through the
time and come together. In an effort to keep
our team healthy, we are working on taking
in food and delivering it to staff at home to
keep them out of public markets and help with
social distancing. We are working with many of
our farmer vendors so that we are buying up
produce that would otherwise rot in the field
due to no tourism on the island.
We expect a strong rebound. We have spent
most of the past few weeks figuring out how to
best help our team. We have also ramped up our efforts to connect with
new and past guests. We have a 24/7 bay camera on YouTube, we have a
live streaming sunset camera, we have recipe videos, cocktail videos, and
many other things we are working on. We are focused on bringing a little
of Bluefields to people stuck in their homes. The comments and outpour
of emotions is very strong. If the comments are to be believed, we will be
full for months with all of the guests looking to return!
