Disability accommodations in Copenhagen

Have a look at the Sage Traveling website. They specialize in HA travel.

I think you need to look to the modern chains. Ibis, for example, and many of their Accor group hotels have accessible rooms, the website may not explicitly state all amenities and you may not see accessible rooms as a booking option, but many have them.

Based on what area you want to stay, make a short list of Accor, IHG (Holiday Inn, Indigo, Crowne Plaza), Hilton, or Marriot properties and contact them directly.

edit: I should add, within the EU, there is no comprehensive accessibility requirement like the ADA in the US. Along with that, there then is not a standard or minimum criteria for an accessible room (like number of grab bars, specific heights of items, door openers, etc.) So if a place indicates that they have an accessible room, you may need to inquire about specifics for your needs.

Hi Bernice,

Although I’m not in a wheelchair, I have knee problems such that I need grab bars in the bathroom. I usually end up having to stay in larger chain hotels that offer the facilities you mention, since smaller, mom and pop hotels usually don’t. Not ideal, but you will definitely find what you’re looking if you look at larger hotels.

Good luck.

I would suggest adding the Scandic chain of hotels to your search. They are kind of a business-type hotel, with hotels throughout Scandinavia. I haven’t stayed in a Scandic in Copenhagen, but I have in other parts of Denmark. They have several locations in Copenhagen. A quick search online for the Scandic Palace Hotel in Copenhagen (I just arbitrarily picked one) lists accessiblity features such as those you mention. I would follow up with a phone call or e-mail just to make sure, of course. Good luck, and enjoy your trip!

In general only a few rooms in a hotel are accessible, for example Scandic Palace has only one room, a newer built Scandic hotel has 9 out of 500. Many hotels don't offer those rooms on their websites (at least not as accessible) so you need to contact them.
