Are Accessible Apartments Available with Step-Free Access and Wide Turning Space for Wheelchair Users?
Yes, Staycity Aparthotels Paris, Marne‑la‑Vallée offers purpose-built accessible apartments that are designed to support guests using wheelchairs, mobility scooters, or other assistive devices. These apartments are available in both studio and one-bedroom configurations and have been created with space, functionality, and dignity in mind.
Whether you’re an independent traveller or accompanied by a carer or family member, the layout prioritises comfort and ease of use in every key living area.
Step-Free Access to and Within the Apartment – Room Images
All accessible apartments are located on floors served by modern elevators with wide door openings, low controls, and smooth level entry. You can reach your apartment without encountering steps, tight turns, or steep gradients, whether entering from reception, the car park, or public spaces.
Inside the apartment:
- There are no internal steps, thresholds, or door lips between rooms
- Floor transitions between living, bedroom, and bathroom spaces are smooth and slip-resistant
- Light switches and climate controls are mounted at reachable heights for seated users
- Interior doorways are extra wide to accommodate both manual and powered wheelchairs
There’s enough circulation space at entryways and throughout the apartment for turning, positioning, or navigating with mobility aids, especially helpful for guests who need help from a second person or use larger equipment.
Bedroom Layout and Bed Access
Accessible apartments are fitted with a standard double or queen-size bed, with space on at least one side for wheelchair transfers. In some layouts, both sides are clear of walls and furniture, which is especially useful for guests who require:
- Carer-assisted repositioning
- Overbed tables or mobile hoists
- Room to park a wheelchair or store mobility aids overnight
The bed is fixed at a height that supports easier transfers from a wheelchair or seated position. While the beds are not adjustable or profiling by default, the open floor space allows enough clearance for many portable hoists if hired in advance.
Additional features include blackout curtains, soft lighting options, and a calm, neutral décor that supports a relaxing environment without harsh contrasts or sensory overload.
Kitchen Area – Accessible and Practical
The integrated kitchenette is designed with self-catering guests in mind and includes accessible elements such as:
- Lowered countertops and cooking surfaces
- Wheel-under sink with lever-operated taps
- Microwave, kettle, and fridge positioned at mid-height, not overhead
- Open shelving and drawers rather than hard-to-reach cupboards
Guests with limited dexterity or reduced reach will find it easier to prepare meals or snacks independently or with minimal support.
Living and Dining Area
The lounge and dining area is part of the same open-plan space, with:
- Moveable furniture that can be repositioned for more clearance
- Space to park a wheelchair at the dining table
- Low-noise flooring and soft furnishings to reduce echoes or background noise
Power sockets are accessible from seated height, and there’s space near seating to store a walking frame or scooter overnight.

They are particularly well-suited to guests who value both independence and flexibility, whether staying for a short break or a longer visit to Disneyland Paris.
