For Hotel Catalunya (hereinafter "Hotel Catalunya" or "we"), ensuring that its services are digitally accessible to people with disabilities is of the utmost importance. We are continually committed to offering an inclusive and accessible online experience to all users. Our aim is to make our services easy to find, access, use and understand for everyone.

Within the European Union, this includes the requirements set out in Directive (EU) 2019/882 (European Accessibility Act) and the laws transposing it in the Member States where Hotel Catalunya's business units are established. For the benefit of users and clients located outside the European Union, this information also takes into account other internationally recognised accessibility standards and frameworks, including, among others, the U.S. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), without this reference implying an acknowledgement of the direct legal applicability of such regimes to Hotel Catalunya.

These services fall within the scope of the EAA.
Descriptions and explanations needed to understand how the service is carried out
Users can choose among different rate categories and room types, confirm a reservation, paying with their credit card.
Description of how the service meets the relevant accessibility requirements
As part of an established procedure aimed at ensuring ongoing compliance with accessibility requirements, we implement the harmonised European standard EN 301 549 and the referenced WCAG.
The services must therefore be:
- perceivable (that is, the information and elements of the services must be presented to users in a way that they can perceive);
- operable (that is, users must be able to make use of the elements of the services and of navigation);
- understandable (that is, the information and use of the services must be understandable); and
- robust (that is, the content must be robust enough to be interpreted reliably by a variety of technical tools, including assistive technologies).
Compliance status: partially compliant.
Non-accessible content: the following WCAG success criteria are not yet fully met — 1.1.1 Non-text Content (Some images, icons, or other non-text content do not have a text description); 1.2.1 Audio-only and Video-only (Prerecorded) (Some recorded audio-only or video-only content has no text or audio alternative); 1.3.1 Info and Relationships (In some cases, the structure or meaning of content is shown only visually and is not coded so assistive tools can read it); 1.3.5 Identify Input Purpose (Some input fields do not tell assistive tools what data they collect, or this is set up wrong); 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) (Text and images of text do not always have enough contrast, except for items like logos); 1.4.4 Resize text (Some text cannot be made twice as big without losing content or features (captions and text images excluded)); 1.4.10 Reflow (Content that does not need a 2D layout does not reflow when the screen is resized); 1.4.11 Non-text Contrast (Some important components do not have a contrast ratio of at least 3:1 with nearby items); 2.1.1 Keyboard (Some features cannot be used with a keyboard); 2.2.2 Pause, Stop, Hide (There is no way to pause, stop, or hide moving, blinking, scrolling, or auto-updating content that runs over 5 seconds next to other content); 2.4.1 Bypass Blocks (There is no way to skip blocks of content that repeat on many screens); 2.4.2 Page Titled (Some screens have no title that explains their topic or purpose); 2.4.3 Focus Order (When users tab through content, the focus order does not match the meaning or how things work); 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context) (The purpose of some links or controls is not clear from their text or context); 2.4.5 Multiple Ways (There is no way, or only one way, to find a screen in the app); 2.4.7 Focus Visible (Some interactive elements have no visible focus indicator when using the keyboard); 2.4.11 Focus Not Obscured (Minimum) (Some focusable elements are fully hidden by other content); 3.1.2 Language of Parts (When text appears in another language, this is not marked in the code); 3.3.1 Error Identification (When an error is detected, the wrong field is not shown or the error is not described in text); 3.3.2 Labels or Instructions (There are no labels or instructions when the user must enter data); 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value (Some components do not pass their name, role, state, or value to assistive tools, or do not notify them of changes); 4.1.3 Status Messages (Some status messages cannot be read by assistive tools without changing focus). In some cases we embed third-party content (forms, videos, etc.). We test this content, but updates made to it by third parties, outside our control, may render it not fully compliant. If you encounter any issue, please reach out through our contact page.
The WCAG provide guidance on how to design services that are perceivable, operable, understandable and robust for people with disabilities. There are currently three conformance levels. In line with European standards, we implement conformance levels 2.2 A and AA.
Our service accessibility can be customized and enhanced through our Accessiway accessibility Widget, available as soon as you land on each screen. The widget can be reached via keyboard at the beginning of the page or, where displayed as an overlay, in a fixed position near a corner of the window, and is marked by a "universal access" like icon:
- Usage without vision: navigate by tabbing, or turn on screen reader compatibility.
- Usage with limited vision: use the zoom, contrast and font-adjustment functions.
- Usage without perception of colour: use the highlighting functions (headings, links, clickable elements).
- Usage with limited manipulation or strength: navigate with a keyboard-emulator device or activate keyboard functionality.
- Reduced photosensitive seizure triggers: turn off animations and specific colour combinations.
WARNING: if activating any of these functions compromises compatibility with your configuration or assistive technology, pause the widget using the dedicated button to avoid disrupting your use of the service. If you experience such a situation, please contact us.
