Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh at Kingdom Centre wins award for excellence in hygiene

This was established through executing the policies of the E-Cristal system programmes successfully, which are based on the principals of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system.

HACCP is a systematic approach to food safety that addresses physical, chemical and biological hazards as a means of prevention rather than finished product inspection. The system is used in the food industry to identify potential food safety hazards.

The E-Cristal system programmes have been used in the international tourist industry since 1997. Recent years have seen it develop to cover every aspect of hotel safety and hygiene, providing properties such as Four Seasons Riyadh with an innovative software package which aids in controlling and managing such issues.

The Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh is the first and only property amid 35 hospitality and catering companies in Saudi Arabia to receive such a prestigious award, which reflects the employees' dedication to providing guests with the highest standards in food hygiene.

"This achievement was a result of all our employees' hard work and commitment and demonstrates Four Seasons on-going efforts in preserving excellent staff hygiene awareness and training," says Rami Sayess, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh.

Check Safety First LTD, based in the UK, granted the Certificate of Achievement to the Hotel, with congratulations from Alan Zering, Board and Vice Chairman of Eastern Mediterranean, Middle East and Africa (EMMEA).

At Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh, visitors can expect luxury, comfort and intuitive services within the distinctive profile of the prolific Kingdom Centre. The centrally located property lies close to key sites for business, as well as arts, culture and shopping.
