I visited Nobu with the aim to obtain specific details on the facilities they offer for the traveller with a disability and limited mobility. 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 traveller with a disability are given.

The Nobu Hotel Barcelona is located right next to Barcelona Sants Station. It is a huge skyscraper hotel that is often the site of conferences. It has a level access shower in an impressive bathroom.

I have reviewed a number of Barcelona hotels specifically regarded accessibility for wheelchair, tourists with a disability and limited mobility. For an overview of our findings and for links to the other reviews see: A Guide to Hotels with People With A Disability, Wheelchair and Limited Mobility Accessibility in Barcelona.

All in all, Nobu is an expensive yet attractive option for travellers with a disability. With eight adapted rooms you are likely to find that there is one available. It also has an impressive bathroom with lots of space and a level access shower.
