The renovation and expansion works of the old Sana Lisboa, which will be reborn in 2021 as Epic Sana Marquês, are being carried out by the construction company from Braga that, in the time of covid-19, measures its staff’s body temperature twice a day.
The Azinor group, owner of the Sana brand hotels, has awarded DST the conversion of its hotel located on Avenida Fontes Pereira de Melo, in Lisbon, into a five-star hotel that will be called Epic Sana Marquês, with opening scheduled for the beginning of the next year.
This contract, which represents a € 10 million turnover for the group from Braga, corresponds to an intervention in all 19 floors of the unit and includes demolitions, finishes and special facilities.
In times of pandemic, the chairman of the DST Group highlights the measures adopted in this contract and in others in the covid-19 context. “We have an extremely rigorous contingency plan, both at the company’s head office and in the works currently in progress. Its implementation involves, among other measures, the distribution of PPE kits, mandatory measurement of body temperature twice a day (in the morning and in the afternoon), disinfection of the entire construction site and work fronts and social distance", mentions José Teixeira in a statement.
After the completion of the works for the new five-star hotel in Lisbon, where DST has involved three other companies of the group - the construction company itself, DTE and Bysteel -, Epic Sana Marquês will comprise almost 400 rooms, 140 more than previously,, two floors for conference and event rooms, leisure areas, SPA, two swimming pools and two themed restaurants, one Italian and another one dedicated to Japanese cuisine.
Signed by NLA - Nuno Leónidas Arquitecto, the project is part of the Sana Hotels group expansion strategy for the coming years, designed before the emergence of covid-19, which corresponds to an investment of more than € 400 million in 10 hotel projects, including new openings and renovations.
This Tuesday, 21 April, just after a meeting with the Prime Minister and the Minister of Economy, where other competitors were present, one of the directors of the Azinor group acknowledged that the reopening of the Sana group "will be a time consuming process. If we reach this year 20% or 30% of what we reached last year, it will be excellent”, said Carlos Silva Neves.
“We estimate that in July things may start to evolve, but for hotels it will be a recovery with plenty of difficulties, in a situation that will be worrying until the end of the year", warned the manager.
He also stressed: "Our activity was not prohibited, we just closed because we had no guests."
