Hotels and Lodging Guidelines - OVERVIEW

As Connecticut's hotels/lodging begin to operate in Phase 2, the most important consideration

will be the health and safety of employees and guests. Hotels/lodging must exercise caution

throughout the phases of reopening, ensuring strict adherence to the protocols listed here. Those

businesses that are not able to meet the rules listed here by June 17, should delay opening until

they are able.

While these rules provide a way for hotels/lodging to reopen in as safe a manner as possible,

risks to guests and employees cannot be fully mitigated. Guests who choose to visit

hotels/lodging during this time should be fully aware of potential risks. Individuals over the age

of 65 or with other health conditions should not visit hotels/lodging, but instead continue to stay

home and stay safe.

Hotels/lodging should take these rules as the minimum baseline of precautions needed to

protect public health in Connecticut. Individual businesses should take additional measures as

recommended by industry guidelines or by common sense applied to their particular situation.

We urge employees and guests to stay vigilant and pay attention as to whether their

hotels/lodging are faithfully implementing these rules.
