The Accessibility Index is based on comprehensive data collection, in which we assess the condition of the mobility, hearing, and visual environment of our properties. This assessment is an essential part of our commitment to accessibility and equality.

With the help of the index, we are able to identify areas for improvement and implement concrete enhancements that make our facilities more accessible for all user groups. Our goal is to continue improving accessibility and ensure that as many guests as possible can enjoy their hotel stay with ease.

On this page, you will find more information about the accessibility of our different destinations, as well as each location’s Accessibility Index.
