- Select an accessible room during online booking or request one by email to the property.
- Ask the hotel to confirm exact accessibility features (grab bars, shower type, clearances) before arrival.
- Mention mobility aids, hoists, or unusual needs so the property can advise on suitability.

Public areas, entrances and circulation
The hotel is a restored 1888 mansion with multiple buildings and courtyard areas; the property offers public-access information via its Accessibility Statement but the dossier does not list every entry threshold or ramp. The main entrance has valet service at 700 Drayton St and staff can assist with luggage and curbside access.
If you need level access or ramps from the street to a specific public area (restaurant, Club Bardo, Courtyard, pool deck), contact the hotel in advance so staff can plan arrivals and meet-and-assist support.
- Valet parking and vehicle retrieval are available at the main entrance.
- Concierge can arrange meet-and-assist and luggage help.
- For elevator access between floors or to suites, confirm availability for the exact building/room you book.

Bathrooms, showers and in-room features — what to ask about
The property lists accessible rooms but does not detail which rooms have roll-in showers, grab bars, or accessible-height fixtures. Public materials advise contacting the hotel for specifics. When you book, request a written confirmation of all bathroom features you need.
Hotel room types include Forsyth Park View King, Standard King, Premium Pool View Suite, Family Terrace Suite, and others; accessible options can be selected online or arranged by email. If a mobility device must fit through the doorway, ask the hotel to confirm door widths and turning space for the exact room number.
- Ask if the accessible room has a roll-in shower, shower seat, grab bars, or a raised toilet.
- Ask whether the vanity is lowered and if the sink has knee clearance.
- Request measurements (door widths, bathroom doorway swing, turning radius) if these are critical.
| Question to ask | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Is there a roll-in shower? | Needed for wheelchair shower access |
| Are grab bars installed by the toilet and shower? | Stability and safe transfers |
| What is the bathroom door width? | Determines whether mobility devices can pass |
