Accessible Hotel in Bristol

Bristol is the ideal location for people with disabilities, reduced mobility and those using wheelchairs. Our accessible hotel rooms and disabled access offer a comfortable stay with various accessories to accommodate different needs.

Throughout, we use the terms disabled people and disabled customers to refer to people who identify themselves as blind, deaf, disabled, or neurodiverse. We also use the term people with accessibility requirements as a broad term to refer to anyone who would benefit from accessibility provisions, regardless of whether they relate to being disabled or not. Accessibility involves removing barriers to provide positive experiences for all.
