The Copthorne Tara Hotel in London has recently published new information about it’s adapted rooms which includes basic information such as:

Larger bedrooms featuring adapted facilities throughout. Double and twin beds are available and most of them offer the optionĀ of an interconnecting room.

All of the adapted bedroom doors open and close electronically, allowing ample time for a wheelchair user to pass through. Door locks are electronically actuated by a key card and the bedside control panels allow operation of the radio, TV and room lights.

Wheelchair accessibility is excellent. Vehicles can stop within feet of the main entrance which is level and has automatic sliding doors. The lobby area is completely level and there is a lower section at the front desk to facilitate wheelchair users.

Conference & Banqueting facilities are also accessible with assisted listening systems available for those with hearing impairments.

The hotel was chosen as the hotel with the best adapted facilities in the UK at the M&IT Awards 2006.

This hotel can be booked at a discounted rate through Tourism for All after registering with the website and the Copthorne Tara have also provided a more detailed 2 page PDF factsheet about facilities for disabled people at the hotel.
