Lennox Miami Beach continues to work closely with local government, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and World Health Organization (WHO) to keep our enhanced protocols for safety and sanitization during the active pandemic up to standard and to ensure the well-being of our staff and guests. Limiting occupancy, utilization of personal protection equipment including hand gloves and face masks and maintaining physical distance from guests are among the many areas we are critically focusing on. In the face of our new efforts to maintain public health and safety, above all we are committed to providing the personalized, luxurious experience that our guests will always be able to count on from the Lennox brand.

- Face masks may also be required in outdoor public spaces if government ordinance requires at the time. In order to provide the safest environment possible for our guests and staff, any persons aged 2 or older with certain health conditions are not exempt from our mandatory facial covering requirement, and we will look forward to welcoming these guests when our policy no longer requires the use of face masks.
