Helping the Homeless and Healthcare Heroes During COVID-19

Doing our part in these challenging times, Pan Pacific Hotels Group steps up our giving efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic.

From heightening precautionary measures to ensure our guests’ safety and well-being, playing our part to house returning residents in Singapore and Australia, to being flexible with room cancellations, and feeding the needy and housing the homeless – we remain steadfast in our belief that there is light in humanity.

Here’s a snapshot of how our hotels are helping around the region.

1 Australia: Giving a Home to the Homeless at Pan Pacific Perth, “Hotels with Heart” Programme


At the peak of Perth’s battle against COVID-19, Pan Pacific Perth opened its doors to provide accommodation to the homeless – one of the most vulnerable groups in the country. Unable to self-isolate should they fall ill, these rough sleepers need all the help they can get. We’re proud to step up in the crisis to provide timely support and shelter to those who need it most.

Our team at PARKROYAL Nay Pyi Taw was also hard at work preparing a special lunch – butter rice with chicken curry, balachaung, and banana pudding – to nourish healthcare heroes at Township Medical Service and the Public Health Department at Dekkhina Thiri Township. We hope this little act spurs them on in their mission to keep Myanmar’s capital safe and COVID-19-free.

Romeo Thu, our Nay Pyi Taw chef, also participated in a live interview on Channel ME Myanmar, providing essential food and nutritional tips during this stay-home period.
