Long-stay guests will be tested every three to five days. 

Tests will also be provided for hotel staff to ensure their safety in the workplace.

The free tests will eventually be available at hotels in Spain, France, Italy, the Netherlands, the United States and Turkey.

The service will expanded across the rest of the portfolio and at its beach hotels set to open next summer.

Tests will also be offered to clients who organise events at its hotels.
