Inclusive Design for Hotels & Resorts in the UAE

Access is no longer enough. Today’s guests expect inclusion.

The UAE is a world leader in tourism, hospitality, and luxury service. Yet for millions of People of Determination, even the most beautiful hotels can feel difficult, disorienting, or off-limits.

At Empower Design Co., we help hospitality brands in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and across the Emirates meet the rising demand for truly inclusive guest experiences — starting with accessible design and environment planning.

Whether you’re building a new resort in Ras Al Khaimah or operating a heritage hotel in Sharjah, we help you create spaces that welcome all guests — with dignity, comfort, and care.

Why Inclusive Hospitality Matters

Being accessible isn’t just ethical. It’s excellent business.

Our Services for Hotels & Resorts

We work with hotel owners, design teams, and operators to assess, upgrade, and future-proof your guest experience.

Accessibility Audits

Comprehensive evaluations of your existing layout, rooms, bathrooms, reception areas, dining spaces, and outdoor zones — scored and benchmarked to international standards.

Inclusive Design Consulting

New build or renovation? We collaborate with your architects to ensure accessibility is integrated from the blueprint stage.

Sensory & Cognitive Assessments

We review how lighting, sound, materials, and spatial cues affect guests with autism, PTSD, or sensory processing conditions — and provide enhancement strategies.

Staff Training & Operational Support

Workshops for hotel staff, concierge teams, and back-of-house operations — so inclusion extends beyond design into service and experience.
