Ihhotela Lezinkathi Ezine NY Manje Ochwepheshe Bezokwelapha

Kungenzeka yini ukuthi ucabange ukuthi iHhotela Lezikhathi Ezine eNew York uguqulwe waba ngabasebenzi bezokwelapha abalwa ne-coronavirus? Ngasekupheleni kukaMashi, ihhotela lezinkanyezi ezinhlanu i-Four Seasons Hotel eliku-East 57th Street laqala ukwamukela abasebenzi basesibhedlela abasebenza maphakathi neManhattan.

Leli hhotela elenzelwe i-IM Pei ngokuqinisekile laliyihhotela elisha okukhulunywa ngalo kakhulu eNew York ngenkathi livulwa ngo-1993 kubiza u- $ 1 million ngekamelo ngalinye. Leli bhilidi elinezitezi ezingama-52, elinamakamelo angama-367 elinendawo yokungenela enamatshe amatshe amade, ophahleni lwe-onyx olungamamitha angu-33 ukuphakama, amasango akhazimulayo odonga nemidwebo yoqobo inikeze ubukhulu nobuhle obubonwe ngokushesha.

NgoJuni 27, 1993, ku New York Times I-Architecture View, uPaul Goldberger wabhala:

“…. Amakamelo ezivakashi abelana ngezimfanelo zamagumbi asesidlangalaleni kepha enziwa ngesitayela sesimanje esithambile, esithambile. Zimele ushintsho olukhulu lweketanga le-Four Seasons, ebelivame ukukholelwa ukuthi ubuhle begumbi lehhotela lilingana ngqo nenani lefenisha yesiNgisi eliqukethe. Lapha, kunesimanjemanje se-urbane, esiyinkimbinkimbi ngaphandle kokubanda ngokuphelele…

Futhi lokho kusiletha eqinisweni elibalulekile lalesi sakhiwo, okuyindlela emangalisayo ehlanganisa i-aura yehhotela elikhulu nokusondelana okuncane. Ukwakhiwa kwaleli hhotela kusithumela yonke inkomba yokuthi yihhotela elikhulu, kusuka esikalini esikhulu somnyango omkhulu wobukhona bombhoshongo omude obekiwe phezulu. Akukho ndawo ethokomele e-Four Seasons Hotel, akukho mzamo wokukhohlisa, njengamahhotela amaningi kanokusho, ukwenza sengathi lena yindlu nje kanokusho eyenzeka ibe nedeski lokungena. Cha, le yindawo enkulu yomphakathi. Futhi esikhathini lapho cishe wonke amahhotela amasha kanokusho ebonakala ehamba emakhaya, ihhotela eliziveza njengobukhazikhazi ne-urbane kuyinto enhle ukwenzeka eNew York. ”

"Leli akulona ihhotela," kusho uDkt Robert Quigley, iphini likamongameli omkhulu nomqondisi wezokwelapha we-International SOS, inkampani yezokuphepha yezokuvakasha eyengamele imigomo emisha yehhotela. "Yindlu yabantu abasengozini enkulu."

Ama-Four Seasons, njengeCentral Park eseduze kanye ne-USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center eFlushing, eQueens kungesinye isici sedolobha esenziwe kabusha ukulwa nalolu bhubhane. Yize amanye amahhotela edolobheni esiza ngokugcwala kombhede esibhedlela, iHotel Seasons Hotel izinikele ngokukhethekile ukugcina odokotela, abahlengikazi nabanye ochwepheshe bezokwelapha bephumule kahle futhi bephephile.

Emnyango ku-57th Street, abahlengikazi ababili, begqoke izifihla-buso ze-N95, bathatha izinga lokushisa lazo zonke izivakashi, bebuza imibuzo mayelana nezimpawu kulezi ezingamahora angama-72 adlule nokuthi bageze izandla yini. Uma sezingene ngaphakathi, izivakashi ziqonda ngqo emakamelweni azo; akukho bha noma indawo yokudlela. Amakhevini athwala umgibeli oyedwa ngesikhathi; abanye kufanele balinde kuma-Xs aqoshiwe phansi, babekwe ngamamitha ayisithupha ukuhlukana. Emakamelweni amahhotela angama-368, angama-225 kuphela azoba nezivakashi, ukunqanda ukuminyana kwabantu endaweni.

Amalungu ezihambeli nawamahhotela awasasebenzisani. Okokungena, okhiye babekwa ezimvilophini etafuleni. Ama-minibars asusiwe emakamelweni ezivakashi. Ukugcinwa kwezindlu kuyisikhathi esidlule; amakamelo anikezwa amanye amalineni namathawula. Izinto ezingcolile ziqoqwa kuphela ngemuva kokuthi izivakashi, ezihlala okungenani izinsuku eziyisikhombisa, zibheke ukuthi amakamelo azo akhishwe yini. Imibhede ayisenayo imicamelo yokuhlobisa engasabalalisa amagciwane. Kuwo wonke ama-nightstand kukhona ibhodlela le-sanitizer esikhundleni socezu lweshokoledi.

Umqondo wokuguqula ama-Four Seasons kwakuwumbono womnikazi uTy Warner. Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa, iMenenja Jikelele uRudy Tauscher usize iqembu elisha ukuhlela indawo yokuhlala ephuthumayo ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngokuhlela kabusha nokusebenza. U-Elizabeth Ortiz, umphathi wehhotela, uqale izingcingo zansuku zonke ukuqinisekisa ukuthi wonke umsebenzi uyaqala ukusebenza Ok futhi uzizwa elungile. Kodwa yize kuhlelwe ngokucophelela, ihhotela belingakulungele okwenzekile ngemuva kokuthi uMbusi u-Andrew Cuomo noMnu Warner bememezele ukuthi i-Four Seasons Hotel izophinde ivule izisebenzi zezokwelapha. Izinkulungwane zodokotela nabahlengikazi zagcwala kulayini bezingcingo. "Kuzithinte ngokuphelele izinhlelo ezijwayelekile ezikhona" kusho uGrey Scandaglia, ummeli kaMnu. Warner. Ngemuva kokudideka kokuqala, ihhotela manje selisebenza nezibhedlela zaseNew York nezinhlangano zezokwelapha kubandakanya iNew York State Nurses Association, ephethe izicelo zokubhuka ngaphakathi.

UDkt Quigley uphakamise ukuthi ezinye izakhiwo ezingenamuntu zingalandela imodeli ye-Four Seasons Hotel kungekudala. "Ngithole izingcingo eziningi ezivela emahhotela amaningi ezweni lonke nasemhlabeni jikelele ukuphindaphinda esikwenzile," esho. "Manje sinesilinganiso."
