According to reports, the test will be performed by the hospital’s trained medical staff in the comfort of the guest’s room at a charge of AED250. The results will be turned around to the guests in less than 24 hours.

Waldorf Astoria guests can request the test through their ‘personal concierge’, whom the hotel assigns to each guest while booking the stay.

The personal concierge typically acts as primary contact for guests and assists them during the stay for making dinner reservations, and organising transfers etc.

In addition to offering the test, Waldorf Astoria has launched Hilton’s CleanStay programme to offer safe stay for the guests.
