21/01/2017 Universal Design hotel innovation

I am looking for a hotel group that would innovate by introducing my concept of small hotel rooms accessible to all, even for wheelchair users. Hotel groups and cruise liners are resolutely focused on the customer experience. These groups offer a unique experience. But what makes an unforgettable holiday? The reception, architecture, decoration of the premises, comfort, accessibility, all the sensations generated by a set of details, even small, are participating in the subtle alchemy. Any sense of difficulty or stress felt by a customer may question it.  Submitted by: JeanYves PRODEL
