Even if the Swine Flu hype has put a dent in the fun for some travelers, the St. Regis hotel in Vancouver has an answer: A small personal portable hand sanitizer.
Paul Done, a spokesman for the hotel, told Hipster Travel Guide that “most of the steps to prevent H1Ni are up to the individual — frequent hand washing, avoiding higher-risk environments.” However, the alcohol-based sanitizer will provide an other level of protection.
Naturally, just alcohol swabs are too much for the delicate skin of St. Regis guests, so aloe has been added to the pen to keep the skin silky smooth.
The hotel is sprinkling the pens all over the place, providing them to guests, in th rooms and if you need more, the front desk will hand the out free of charge.
Having stayed in a St. Regis (the one in San Francisco), we’re surprised that swine flu would even be able to get in the lobby. Pigs rarely make the menu at such a nice place. So don’t let the hysterical state of Porkademic, solutions abound.
