How to find accessible apartments in Barcelona

You will find a wide selection of adapted and wheelchair accessible housing on this page. To find the one that suits you best, you can filter the apartments by size, area and facilities. All of the fully accssible places can be found in the same building — Tres Torres — that has been adapted from top to bottom to meet the requirements of people with disabilities. The sizes vary from one to four bedrooms and rooms are well-lit. The building also has an accessible gym. If you have any questions or need help, you only need to call down to the reception.

Barcelona is full of hotels, especially in the city centre, but hardly any are equipped to fully meet the needs of wheelchair users. We invite you to take a look at these accessible apartments designed especially to adapt to these needs. Staying in one of these flats will make you fill at home.

What is the difference between an adaptated and fully accessible apartment?

The difference is in the level of independence that these two kinds of apartments can provide. Accessible apartments are mostly adapted for those with decreased mobility but not suitable for a person confined in a wheelchair. Accessible apartments feature lifts and ramps so you will not struggle to reach other parts of the building, but inside the apartments they are generally not thought for wheelchair users. They are ideal for people with mild mobility issues (crutches, walking-frames, or partial wheelchair users).

On the other hand, fully accessible housings meet certain official standards and include the same level of access as accessible apartments, but also more. They have wide doorways that open on runners to easily get around the flat. Doorways and floors are completely flat. Taps can be used with just one hand — up and down for pressure, and left and right for temperature — at correct heights. There are adapted bathtubs or showers. In the kitchen, counter tops are lowered with lots of room to navigate and space under the sink for full access. Installations like this allow wheelchair users to live conveniently, privately and independently while enjoying everything Barcelona has to offer.

What kind of apartment should a wheelchair user choose?

Wheelchair users will definitely be more at ease in a fully-adaptated apartment than in an accessible housing. The wide spaces and installations provided by fully-accessible apartments will allow you to move freely from a room to another.

Is Barcelona an accessible city?

Barcelona has a wide choice of attractions and leisure activities for people with disabilities and decreased mobility. In the past few years, the city has been more and more conscious of accessibility problems and has made some efforts to increasingly provide accessible places in the Catalan capital. Public transport has improved a lot, but still has some weaknesses, and mobility scooters are not permitted.

And with our fully accessible apartments at Tres Torres, you'll have good access to the rest of the city as there is an accessible train station just in front on the building. This station goes to the city centre. Local shopkeepers are very understanding and many are already adapted.
