BALTIMORE, March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Cordish Companies' Live! Casinos & Hotels is proud to announce that their Maryland and Philadelphia destinations have become Sharecare Health Security VERIFIED™ with Forbes Travel Guide, joining a list of just 10 casino-hotels in the nation. The flagship property in Hanover, Maryland, Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland, is one of two hotels in the state to achieve this status, and the newly opened Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia is listed among three others.

The comprehensive facility verification helps ensure that guests and travel planners can book with confidence at properties that have appropriate health and safety procedures in place. This verification comes with an easily identifiable "seal of approval" – the Sharecare VERIFIED™ with Forbes Travel Guide badge – based on a hotel's compliance with expert-validated best practices that minimize the risk and impact of COVID-19 and potential future public health events.

"Our comprehensive Play It Safe plan with best practices provided by the Centers for Disease Control, John Hopkins University School of Public Health and guidelines from the States of Maryland and Pennsylvania has enabled us to be leaders in the industry on health and safety," said Rob Norton, President of Cordish Gaming Group. "We're proud to be VERIFIED™ by such a prestigious organization as it remains our top priority to provide a safe, comfortable environment for our guests and Team Members. We continue to stay vigilant at all our locations to meet and exceed COVID-19 safety guidelines."

Developed by Forbes Travel Guide, the global authority on hospitality excellence, and digital health industry leader Sharecare, the comprehensive verification covers more than 360 standards across health and hygiene protocols, cleaning products and procedures, ventilation, physical distancing, the guest experience, and health safety communication with guests and employees. Hotels are required to verify their health protocols on an ongoing basis to ensure continued compliance with the most up-to-date global health standards.

"The pandemic has made it clear that hotels and resorts must, first and foremost, assure guests of their safety," said Filip Boyen, CEO of Forbes Travel Guide. "By becoming VERIFIED™, Live! Casinos & Hotels in Maryland and Philadelphia have demonstrated their commitment to creating a culture of accountability and following global best practices to heighten health security, verified by a third party."
