Best of Housekeeping Designation

InterContinental Mark Hopkins San Francisco has been recognized with the 2021 AAA Inspector's Best Of Housekeeping award, granted to hotels throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean that earn the highest possible cleanliness and condition scores. A hotel's housekeeping and maintenance attributes are among the most important components analyzed during the on-site evaluation conducted by AAA's professionally trained inspectors. While every hotel must meet rigorous standards of cleanliness and condition to qualify for the AAA Diamond Program, hotels awarded the Inspector's Best Of Housekeeping designation significantly surpass expectations, as measured during a comprehensive, on-site inspection. All areas must reflect this very high standard as AAA inspectors review for evidence of dirt, dust, pests, equipment performance and more.

Clean Safe Certified 

CHLA incorporated recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the California Department of Public Health and county health departments, in a 10-page guide for guest and employee cleanliness, workplace cleaning and safety, and healthy guest experiences. The “Clean + Safe” guide was created at the end of April well ahead of our state’s reopening to provide time for hotels to implement their programs and ensure employees had the two essential elements needed for a hotel to successfully re-open – guidance for hoteliers and confidence for travelers. For guests, the standards include new arrival procedures, availability of sanitation amenities, physical distancing recommendations and even how to use elevators, among other changes. For employees, the standards include COVID-19 trainings, use of personal protective equipment, handwashing, and safely engaging with guests. calodging.com/clean-safe-certified-members
