Celebrating Inclusion at Heart Hotel and Gallery Whitsundays
At Heart Hotel and Gallery Whitsundays, accessibility isn’t an afterthought, it’s at the very heart of our guest experience. This International Day of People with Disability, we’re proud to shine a light on the ways we make travel more welcoming, inclusive, and joyful for all.
Boutique Luxury Meets Accessibility
Located in the vibrant seaside village of Airlie Beach, Heart Hotel and Gallery Whitsundays is known for its boutique design and warm, personalised service. But beyond the elegance of our architecture and interiors, we’ve built a commitment to accessibility into the very fabric of our hotel.
Our Designer King Accessible Rooms offer a seamless blend of comfort and functionality. With step-free access to the room, bathroom, and balcony, guests can move with ease throughout the space. Bathrooms are thoughtfully equipped with grab rails for support, while the interiors are calm, inviting, and designed for relaxation. Large windows plus the balconies provide a tranquil retreat to soak in the Whitsundays’ beauty.
Every accessible room includes:
- A spacious 30m² layout plus balcony
- King bed with decadent cloud bedding
- Smart TV, BOSE sound system, and complimentary WiFi
- L’Occitane skin and hair care products to inspire the senses
Accessibility Tools: Know Before You Go
We understand that planning an accessible stay is about more than just the room. That’s why we’ve developed a suite of digital accessibility tools to help guests feel confident before they arrive:
- 360° Virtual Tour: Explore arrival, reception, and accessible amenities online.
- Visual Story & Sensory Guide: Preview what you’ll see, hear, and feel across the venue.
- Audio Guide: Navigate the hotel’s accessible features with narrated support.
- Keyword Sign Boards & Communication Boards: Tools to support communication and inclusion onsite..
These resources empower guests to plan their visit with clarity and ease, ensuring every detail is considered.
Why It Matters
The International Day of People with Disability is about celebrating achievements, raising awareness, and promoting inclusion. At Heart Hotel and Gallery Whitsundays, we believe travel should be open to everyone. By combining boutique luxury with thoughtful accessibility, we’re creating experiences that are not only memorable but also equitable.
