Accessible Housing
Hotel Accessibility Surveys
Each year APHA conducts a detailed accessibility survey of all official APHA hotels. These surveys (completed by the hotels) provide information about accessible entrances, parking and drop-off areas and information regarding accessible public ares, guest rooms, meeting rooms, restaurants, hotel amenities and assistive devices.
Please use this information to select the hotel that best meets your needs.
The Online Housing Form also provides specific accessibility information and detailed descriptions of each hotel. Make hotel reservations as early as possible as there are a limited number of accessible rooms available at each property. Housing will open June 3.
All hotel desginated ADA rooms will be specifically set aside for individuals requesting them on the Housing Reservation Form.
Hotel Access Training
To further facilitate an accessible meeting, APHA offers free accessibility training to the staff at the meeting hotels and convention center. This training is designed to heighten awareness and educate hotel and convention center staff on disability and accessibility issues prior to the arrival of APHA attendees.
