Making the ‘Big Apple’ More Accessible: Hotels in NYC

Image Description: A headshot of Peter Slatin, a middle-aged man with a fair complexion, with short light brown hair on the sides, wearing a dark suit jacket and white shirt, smiling slightly against a gray background.

NYC Tourism asked Peter Slatin to write an article to help guide visitors on finding an accessible hotel room in the city.  

Of course, every hotel should have its required share of accessible rooms, and those rooms should do more than meet minimum ADA compliance standards. 

Unfortunately, there are too many stories from people who’ve found, on arrival, that their rooms are too crowded with furniture; their bathroom doors are too narrow; their shower seats and toilet accommodations are not available; and indeed, the accessible room they had booked and confirmed has been given to another guest. 

Please read Peter's great insights into how hotels can take small steps to greatly enhance accessibility for all guests.
