This bespoke disabled access stairlift was installed into a beautiful 5 star hotel in central London. This stairlift is hidden when not in use and the staircase is in full use. Disabled access in this hotel is essential due to the variety of visitors they accommodate throughout the year.

The hotel Is said to be a "five star luxury hotel, located a stone’s throw away from Covent Garden. It is one of London’s most historic and cherished buildings that holds more hidden stories than any other kind in London. Where tradition and history meets modern luxury. One of a Kind"

It is therefore essential this building and other similar buildings include disabled access into their building in order to offer all visitors an equally outstanding experience.

Our stairlifts are bespoke and are suitable for listed buildings, therefore they can be designed and installed into any building in the world.
