The Blues released in a statement today that the hotel will be available for an initial two-moth period, but that it will be reviewed later on.

The costs are set to be covered by Blues owner Roman Abramovich, with Millennium Hotels and Resorts, who own mange the hotel, assisting the club.

The statement from Chelsea read: “Many of the medical staff will be working long shifts and may not be able to travel home or would otherwise have to make long commutes.

“Local accommodation helps maintain the health and well-being of these crucial personnel at this critical time.

“This will be for a two-month period, and then reconsidered in light of circumstances at the time. NHS staff will be those working in hospitals in the North-West London region, but that may extend to hospitals in other districts.

“The number of rooms utilised will depend on demand but potentially all the rooms in the Millennium Hotel could be given over for this purpose.

“No staff showing symptoms will use the hotel.

“Millennium Hotels and Resorts, who manage the hotel, are supportive and assisting the club in providing this service to the NHS.”


The Blues have been hit by the virus themselves, with Callum Hudson-Odoi having tested positive for the virus.

The first team are currently still in self isolation, however the Cobham training ground has been deep-cleaned and reopened.
