We reviewed Madrid last year following a business trip, you can see it in full here. In general we found Madrid to be accessible when it came to large hotels, we stayed at the Intercontinental and gave them 3 BBS Ticks. There’s also a great accessible taxi service, Euro Taxis that we found on the Madrid Tourist Guide and if you take a look at our full review you can find some other useful sources of information.
We found the pavements in Madrid to be variable and most restaurants are difficult to negotiate alone. There’s also a lack of disabled toilets in most small restaurants – much like London! However, one hotel we forgot to add that appears to be accessible is the boutique Hotel Hospes.
They are a chain of “Exclusive Hotels in Spain, with a great historical and architectural value”, covering 9 cities, We haven’t audited them but on contacting the one in Madrid they said,
“room 110 has got a walk in shower and also grab handles around the WC.”
They also appear to be very stylish
A 5 Star hotel the Telegraph gave them 8/10 and said
“Outside it’s a handsome 19th-century townhouse, inside it’s all soothing grey and mauve tones. With a great Bodyna spa, the hotel is very much a chic sanctuary where you can escape from city life”.
The food and bars look good including the Independencia Restaurant & Bar and a ‘charming Chill-Out Patio, that can be reached from the Hotel’s Lobby area’.
We give Hospes Madrid an unaudited 2.5 BBS Ticks and do let us know if you’ve been there or any other of their hotels in Spain…..
