Encore Boston Harbor Accessible Room Descriptions

At Encore Boston Harbor, we are committed to the principles of accessibility, inclusion and diversity. Consistent with this commitment is fostering an environment where all our guests feel valued and welcome by providing them with accessible and comfortable room options. Ultimately, we aim to elevate each guest’s experience by tailoring their resort visit to their own individual needs and accommodation requests.

Encore Boston Harbor’s rooms and suites are suitable for all guests: each is comfortable, spacious and allows for easy maneuvering within the living space and bathroom. All Encore Boston Harbor rooms and suites offer wide doorframes for both the entry and bathroom, door handles set at an accessible, easy-to-reach height, and spacious bathrooms with sinks placed at an accessible height and ample space between the toilet and shower.

In addition to the accessible room options described below, Encore Boston Harbor also offers resources (available upon request) such as knock light adaptors, portable shower chairs, portable toilet chairs and ability to lower bed heights.
