Disabled Hotel Rooms near Paris Louvre Museum – This hotel has two disabled hotel rooms near Paris Louvre Museum. These rooms have roll-in showers and bathroom doors wide enough for a wheelchair. Unfortunately, there are no grab bars by the toilet or in the roll-in shower, but there is a small bench that you can sit on. It is not padded, but you could probably put a folded towel on it to make it softer. The hotel was recently renovated and they did a good job of making these rooms wheelchair accessible.

The entrance to this accessible hotel has a very slight ramp and a motion activated door. Both of the disabled hotel rooms are on the ground floor, and the breakfast room is downstairs. There is an elevator to go down to it, but it’s too narrow for a wheelchair.
Both of the disabled rooms have beautiful, private courtyards. They are both set back from the street and quiet. The neighborhood has flat streets and no cobblestones. The hotel is only 100 meters from the Louvre Museum although because the Louvre building is so big, the Louvre entrance is 550 meters away from the hotel. The hotel has 37 rooms and a 4 star hotel classification.
I gave this hotel a 4 Star Sage Accessibility rating instead of a 5 star rating because there are no grab bars by the toilet or in the roll-in shower.
