Adapted Facilities At Hilton Maria Cristina Barcelona for Wheelchair, Disabled or Limited Mobility Tourists

Hilton Maria Cristina Hotel

I visited Hilton Maria Cristina with the aim to obtain specific details on the facilities they offer for the disabled and limited mobility traveller. You will find on this page the exact measurements that affect a wheelchair user when visiting this hotel including dimensions for the lift, bathroom utilities, washbasin and toilet dimensions. In addition any other adapted facilities the hotel offers for the disabled traveller are given.

The Hilton Maria Cristina Barcelona is located in uptown Barcelona, it is a five star hotel in the business district of town. In general, the hotel is well adapted, however the bathrooms let it down.

For a more general review of the hotel see our hotel review.
