The Regional Minister for Citizenship and Social Rights, María Victoria Broto, today highlighted our commitment to universal accessibility and to breaking down barriers for people with disabilities.
The Regional Minister was accompanied by the hotel’s General Manager, José Antonio Palau, and the ONCE Territorial Delegate, Ignacio Escanero. Together, they toured the facilities and learned firsthand about the technical features that make this hotel an accessible building.
All of our hotels feature key assistive technologies for people with disabilities, including accessible counters, hearing loops, emergency push buttons, visual/vibrating alarm clocks, portable fire alarms, and cane holders, among others.
In addition to accessibility, we maintain a strong commitment to social inclusion within the tourism sector. Across our chain, we employ an average workforce of 1,261 staff members, of whom 481 are people with disabilities (38.14%). We currently operate 11 of our properties (10 hotels alongside ILUNION Catering by Maher, our national catering service company) as Special Employment Centers (CEE), meaning at least 70% of their staff are people with disabilities.
