Hong Kong in a wheelchair?

Well - one upside is you can avoid the short taxi-ride from the border to HK

:)

The main floor has a ramp at the entrance and one that leads from the front section to the rear. It is usually FILLED with chicas standing there waiting to molest anyone that goes by. Cascadas does have an elevator, but you have to climb a set of stairs to get to either lobby. I think the north elevator actually goes to an area next to the VIP desk in Hong Kong, but I’ve never seen it used. I’d call the hotel and ask about wheelchair access.

As far as rooms go, I don’t know how much space you need, but I’d check to see if any have wheelchair accessible showers. I think the ones I’ve been in did not have a raised threshold, but I don’t know if the entrance was wide enough.

It's going to be quite difficult getting around TJ on wheels.

The alley entrance has an elevator that goes to the street level, but I don't know how accessible it is, because it opens inside the garage/storage area.

Call the hotel or send them email. They have been fairly responsive to my emails.

I’ve spent a lot of time in Mexico and although I’m not familiar with Baja or Tijuana. Getting around Mexico in most areas in a wheelchair would be challenging at best.

I could see myself getting a lot of free action wheeling you around

I've seen the north elevator used for a wheelchair. right by the vip courtesy desk. only the main floor has wheel chair access. the only thing that you might miss on the upper levels would possibly the foam show on Thursday Friday and Saturday.

MisterWonderful do they do foam shows during the week i am looking forward to it

Thanks everyone for the replies and messages! Great info. I've emailed the hotel for more info - just waiting on a response. I know it will be challenging - but I'm more independent than a typical wheelchair person. My main criteria is needing a ramp or elevator and a room that has enough space for a wheelchair. I might have to upgrade to a suite - but that's fine. I don't 'need' many items that are found in a US ADA complaint room.

I also have concern about getting from the border to HK. I travel for work. I'm used to jumping into ubers or cabs and instructing the driver to toss my chair into the trunk for me. But the language barrier might be a problem. Will the cab drivers understand enough english to understand my instructions? I have a simple chair. No disassembly required. Just fold it up and toss it into a trunk.

Regarding the foam shows, which are spectacular and not be missed, they mainly do those on the first floor, on the back stage, several times every day. I was there once on a Thursday and they also had one going on simultaneously on the second floor right above.
As long as you can navigate around the first floor in a wheelchair, you'll be set and won't be missing anything on the upper levels that isn't being done on the first floor, as far as I can tell.

Every taxi driver I’ve ever used spoke decent English. You could also arrange pick up from thier shuttle, town car, or limo.

Tl;dr. But I have seen this done. Cascadas does have an elevator on the southern entrance (where the garage doors used to be before the remodel) that goes all the way to the ground floor. This is mostly used for the laundry truck.

I have also witnessed 3 meseros carrying a guy in his wheelchair up the stairs at the north entrance to cascadas. I hope they were well tipped afterwards.

So live the dream, brother. Don't let a little detail stop you from making the trip.

absolutely.

Yeah and if you need a little help, feel free to ask some of us here, we could be there on the same days.

That's good to hear about the taxis! Looks like the elevator would be fine, unless it breaks down while I'm there. In which case, I'd definitely tip the meseros well if they carried me up the stairs. I'm planning on going either in September or October for a Monday and Tuesday. So if anyone is planning a trip around then and wouldn't mind some company, definitely message me!
