Hotel Brooklyn reports £217,000 in revenue from accessible suites

Hotel Brooklyn in Manchester has announced that it saw an increase in revenue of £217,000 from accessible suites and events at its hotel in its first full year of trading since the pandemic.

Its 18 accessible Liberty Suites brought the hotel an additional £132,000 over that 12-month period.

This equates to £7,333 additional revenue per accessible room and just over 100 extra bed nights every four weeks.

Hotel Brooklyn also hosts a number of accessible events including charity events, award ceremonies to accessible weddings.

The hotel stated that this contributed £85,000 additional income in 2022, bringing the total contribution from accessible facilities to £217,000 across the year.

Robin Sheppard, president of Bespoke Hotels, said: “Hotel Brooklyn has demonstrated how accessibility can be incorporated into a luxury hotel. We acknowledge that we are on a journey to provide accessible experiences for all guests, and the feedback we receive from visitors is helping us to raise the bar even further at future Hotel Brooklyn sites.

“We hope the success of Hotel Brooklyn inspires others in the industry to look at how they can improve their accessible facilities to help make UK hospitality more accessible for all.”

Hotel Brooklyn used inclusive design specialist Motionspot to design and supply the 18 accessible suites and build in attractive access principles and features throughout the hotel’s communal areas.
