Traveling through Paris in a wheelchair can be a difficult experience since French building codes do not require wheelchair accessibility as U.S. codes do. Furthermore, in downtown Paris space is at such a premium that most restaurants and boutique hotels do not have the space for wheelchair ramps or, often, elevators. There are several Paris hotels that do offer special accommodation and services to guests in wheelchairs. In these hotels, common areas, guest rooms and/or parking are designed to make all guests comfortable.
Le Burgundy hotel is situated in the heart of Paris with easy access to the city's main tourist attractions. Guests requiring wheelchair access will find Le Burgundy comfortable since all common spaces in the hotel are wheelchair accessible. There are three rooms with specially adapted lighting and bathrooms. Complimentary regular and shower wheelchairs are available upon request. All hotel staff are fully trained on all customer service needs that guests with wheelchairs might have.
