The Most Accessible Hotels in Toronto

Toronto hosts some of the most iconic hotel brands anywhere in the world. From Ace Hotel to St. Regis and Four Seasons, there is no shortage of high-end, expertly constructed hotels in the city. With that said, guests continue to face challenges when searching for a hotel that has the necessary accessibility features they need for a comfortable stay. Third-party booking sites like Trip Advisor and Booking.com don’t always outline all the accessibility elements offered at a given hotel. Luckily, we’ve done some digging and found what we define as Toronto’s most accessible hotels — here’s the criteria we were looking for.

Ideally, we’re searching for hotels that put accessibility at the forefront of their design. Unfortunately, some older hotels predating the year 2000 didn’t include many accessibility features we now expect from popular hotel names. Newer, more thoughtful designs include features like walk-or-roll-in showers, bathroom handle bars, elevated desks and sinks, larger room space, brail and more. In order to fit your specific needs, we always recommend calling the hotel directly for additional information. So without further ado, read on to see our list of Toronto’s most accessible hotels.
