What ADA (Hospitality Accessibility) requires
ADA Title III (42 U.S.C. §12181-12189) requires all places of public accommodation - including hotels, motels, restaurants, bars, and food service establishments - to provide equal access to individuals with disabilities. New construction and alterations commenced after January 26, 1992 must fully comply with the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. Existing facilities must remove architectural barriers where readily achievable. Hotels must provide a regulated percentage of accessible guest rooms, van-accessible parking at prescribed ratios, accessible routes of 36-inch minimum clear width, pool lifts for pools exceeding 300 linear feet of pool wall, and visual communication features for guests with hearing impairments. DOJ enforces Title III through civil investigations and pattern-or-practice suits; private plaintiffs may sue for injunctive relief and attorney fees. Non-compliant operators face structural modification orders and potential damages in states with enhanced state accessibility laws.
