The closet rail can be adjusted to a low level and the safe has been positioned at waist level. The bathroom has seven grab rails in total including one around the bath, a bath seat within the bath and both the bidet and shower door have been removed making more space and allowing for two shower seats, one in the shower and the other replacing the bidet. There is a telephone within the bathroom.

Restaurants & Catering

Most of the restaurants and bars within the Jumeirah Emirates Tower hotel with the exception of the Club Executive Lounge have one or two steps either at the entry, or within the outlet when seating is on two levels. Generally there is a mix of both free standing tables and chairs and fixed bench seating. Staff are on hand to give assistance if necessary and temporary ramps are available.

Cranley Comment

Most areas of the hotel and connecting Boulevard shopping mall are accessible to wheelchair users, however the lower level of the pool deck may be challenging for some. Most restaurants are on two levels so some seating may be restricted without the use of a temporary ramp. The specially adapted Deluxe bedroom on the 10th floor is close to the lifts and has a large range of helpful equipment in the bathroom, the large bedroom has not been modified at all. There are paramedics on duty 24 hours and although hotel staff are not specially trained in all aspects of special care they are on hand to give assistance if required and where possible. No special facilities are in place for the visually impaired and there are no induction loop systems in place for the hard of hearing, assistance dogs at this time are not welcome.

Environment

Measures

Recycling
Energy Saving
Community Service

Cranley Comment

Jumeirah Emirates Towers has a few environmental policies in place. Water, glass and plastics are separated for the Municipality to remove and staff are encouraged to save paper. All public areas in the hotel and office tower have energy saving light bulbs and there are dimmer switches in the Royal Suite and three Presidential Suites. Laundry bags and shoe bags are environmentally friendly, washable and reusable. When guest rooms are not in use a master switch is in operation to completely cut off all electricity to the room so that appliances that are plugged in, televisions, standard lights etc will not make any draw on electricity until the room is booked out again. Staff are encouraged to donate blood.
