Ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuba ukhulelwe ukuba yiHotele yamaXesha amane eNew York Ngaba uguqulwe waba ziingcali zonyango ezilwa ne-coronavirus? Ekupheleni kuka-Matshi, ihotele eneenkwenkwezi ezintlanu e-East 57th Street yaqala ukwamkela abasebenzi basesibhedlele abasebenza embindini weManhattan.
Le hotele yenzelwe i-IM Pei ngokuqinisekileyo yayiyeyona hotele intsha kuthethwa ngayo eNew York xa ivulwa ngo-1993 ngeendleko ze- $ 1 yezigidi kwigumbi ngalinye. Eli bali linamagumbi angama-52, igumbi lamagumbi angama-367 eline-lobby-clad lobby, i-33x-foot-high onyx plail, i-sconces ezikhanyayo zodonga kunye nemizobo yoqobo eyanikezela ubungangamsha nobuhle obabubonwa kwangoko.
Nge-27 kaJuni, 1993, kwi ENew York Times Jonga i-Architecture, uPaul Goldberger wabhala:
“…. Amagumbi eendwendwe abelana ngeempawu zamagumbi oluntu kodwa zenziwa ngendlela ebumnandi, ethambileyo yesimanje. Bamele utshintsho olukhulu kwikhonkco lamaXesha amane, eliye likholelwa ekubeni ubuhle begumbi lehotele buhambelana ngqo nomthamo wefanitshala yesiNgesi equkethe. Apha, kukho i-urbane yala maxesha, ephucukileyo ngaphandle kokubanda…
Kwaye oko kusisa kwinto ebalulekileyo yesi sakhiwo, yiyo loo ndlela ngokumangalisayo idibanisa i-aura yehotele enkulu kunye nolwalamano oluncinci. Olu lwakhiwo lwehotele lusithumela yonke into yokuba yihotele enkulu, ukusuka kumlinganiso omkhulu wesango eliphambili lendawo ende ende eqingqiweyo esibhakabhakeni. Akukho ndawo intle yokuya ekhaya kwihotele i-Four Seasons, akukho nzame yokukhohlisa, njengakwiihotele ezininzi ezintle, ukwenza ngathi le yindlu nje entle enedesika yokungena. Hayi, le yindawo enkulu yoluntu. Kwaye kwixesha apho phantse zonke ihotele zodidi oluphezulu zibonakala ngathi zihamba emakhaya, ihotele ezibonakala ngathi iyabukeka kwaye iyinto entle e-Urbane yinto entle eyenzekayo eNew York. ”
URobert Quigley, usekela mongameli omkhulu kunye nomlawuli wezonyango kwi-International SOS, inkampani yezokhuseleko yezokhenketho ejongene neenkqubo ezintsha zehotele. Yindlu yabantu abasemngciphekweni omkhulu. ”
AmaXesha amaXesha amane, njengeCentral Park ekufuphi kunye ne-USTA uBillie Jean King iZiko leTennis leSizwe eFlushing, eQueens sesinye isixeko esibonisa ukuba siphinde salwa nobhubhane. Nangona ezinye iihotele esixekweni zinceda ukugcwala kwebhedi esibhedlele, ihotele i-Four Seasons izinikezele ngokukodwa ukugcina oogqirha, abongikazi kunye nabanye oochwephesha baphumle kwaye bekhuselekile.
Ekungeneni kwisitalato i-57th, abongikazi ababini, abanxibe iimaski ze-N95, bathatha iqondo lobushushu lazo zonke iindwendwe, bebuza imibuzo malunga neempawu kwiiyure ezingama-72 ezidlulileyo kwaye ukuba bahlambile izandla. Nje ukuba bangene ngaphakathi, iindwendwe ziye ngqo kumagumbi azo; akukho bhari okanye irestyu. Iilifti zithwala umkhweli omnye ngexesha; abanye kufuneka balinde ii-Xs ezifakwe phantsi, zibekwe ziinyawo ezintandathu. Kumagumbi ehotele angama-368, ngama-225 kuphela aya kuba neendwendwe, ukuthintela ukuxinana kwipropathi.
Abasebenzi beendwendwe kunye nabasehotele abasasebenzi. Ukungena, amaqhosha abekwa kwiimvulophu etafileni. Iibhasi ezincinci zisusiwe kumagumbi eendwendwe. Ukugcina izindlu yinto eyadlulayo; amagumbi abonelelwe ngelinen ezongezelelweyo kunye netawuli. Izinto ezingcolileyo ziqokelelwa kuphela emva kweendwendwe, ezihlala ubuncinci iintsuku ezisixhenxe, jonga amagumbi abo afakwe umbane. Iibhedi azisenamqamelo wokuhombisa onokuthi usasaze iintsholongwane. Kuzo zonke iindawo zokulala ebusuku kukho ibhotile yesitshizi endaweni yeqhekeza letshokholethi.
Umbono wokuguqula amaXesha amaNne yayingumbono womnini weTy Warner. Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa, uMphathi Jikelele uRudy Tauscher uncede iqela elitsha ukuba licwangcise indawo yokuhlala engxamisekileyo kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ngokucwangcisa kwakhona nokusebenza. U-Elizabeth Ortiz, umlawuli wabasebenzi ehotele, uqalise ukufowuna mihla le ukuqinisekisa ukuba wonke umsebenzi uyaqala ukusebenza Ok kwaye uziva ulungile. Kodwa ngaphandle kokucwangciswa ngononophelo, ihotele ibingakulungelanga okwenzekileyo emva kokuba iRhuluneli Andrew Cuomo kunye noMnumzana Warner babhengeze ukuba ihotele i-Four Seasons izakuvula kwakhona iingcali zonyango. Amawaka oogqirha kunye nabongikazi bazalisa iifowuni. "Yoyise ngokupheleleyo iinkqubo eziqhelekileyo" utshilo uGrey Scandaglia, igqwetha likaMnumzana Warner. Emva kwesiphithiphithi sokuqala, ihotele ngoku isebenza nezibhedlele zaseNew York kunye nemibutho yezonyango kubandakanya noMbutho wabahlengikazi waseNew York, abaphethe izicelo zokubhukisha ngaphakathi.
Ugqirha Quigley ucebise ukuba ezinye iipropathi ezingenamntu zinokulandela imodeli yeehotele ezine zonyaka kungekudala. "Ndifumene iifowuni ezininzi kwiihotele ezininzi kwilizwe liphela nakwilizwe liphela ukuphinda into esiyenzileyo," utshilo. "Ngoku sinophawu lokulinganisa."
