Kalamata’s Elektra Hotel Opens with Light Refurbishment
Elektra Hotel & Spa, a four-star boutique hotel located in the city of Kalamata in the Peloponnese, recently reopened its doors, after investing in a light refurbishment of its public areas.
The hotel remained closed during the COVID-19 lockdown and its management proceeded with changes and upgrades to its facilities: all public spaces were redecorated and fully repainted while plexiglass dividers were placed at the front desk of the reception area.
Due to the extraordinary circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the hotel has undertaken special measures to protect the health of its visitors and employees.
The following measures aim to provide travelers with a safe and carefree stay according to the highest hygiene standards:
• The hotel has disinfected all areas as a precaution measure against COVID-19; applied the government’s measures for the tourism sector as well as all the required health and safety protocols for its operation,
• A consultant has been selected to develop a health plan that will be certified by external auditors. The consultant will also create emergency plans and hygiene protocols, and set up a crisis management team that will deal with possible COVID-19 cases,
• The management will frequently convene to evaluate the situation and immediately take decisions when required,
• The hotel’s staff has been trained accordingly to follow the health protocols of the post-COVID-19 era,

• Check in and check out is quick and effective, with no crowding expected at any time of the day,
• Fast check-out will be possible over the phone. Before departing, customers will be able to receive a printed copy of their bill. This process reduces the time spent at the reception area, as customers proceed to the reception only for payment,
