Hotels

Are you open to all?

More than 100 people every day start to lose their sight. And over 10 million people in the UK have a disability.

A warm welcome - new factsheet for hotels

To support you welcoming guests, we've put together a factsheet of hints and tips for hotel owners and managers (Word, 255kb). This is just a starting point of suggestions so please browse these pages and get in touch for more personalised support.

How many potential guests are you turning away?

Whether you are a large chain or a small guest house, ensuring that your guests can feel confident about booking with you, enjoy their stay and recommend you to others is essential to keep you ahead of the competition. Improving access will help open your hotel to more guests, gain word of mouth referrals and comply with legislation.
