“We have an independent company conducting COVID-19 risk assessment audits on our hotels and the first property to be tested, City Lodge Hotel Bryanston, has achieved a 98% score on the hygiene audit and 100% on the microbiological index. This gives us confidence that our revamped procedures and operations are effective,” says Lindiwe Sangweni-Siddo, COO of City Lodge Hotel Group.
