Phoenix, Arizona, known for its amazing desert landscapes, proximity to many tourist attractions, and hot weather, is a city that continues to do more for people with disabilities.  I’ve been traveling to Phoenix for many years, mostly on business trips, and I’ve seen the city sprawl as more people move there. 

accessibility is part of the planning here

With that  growth comes a focus on being more inclusive to everyone, so accessibility is part of the planning here.  But, the biggest gap includes accessible taxi resources, other than Yellow Cab. When you travel to Phoenix and you want accessible transportation, unless you’re taking public transit, it will be difficult to find transportation.  One that I found is Phoenix Super Shuttle.

When it comes to accessible accommodations, you will find many options.  I’ve stayed at a number of hotels and resorts in the Phoenix area and one of my absolute favorites is the JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort & Spa!  It’s a luxurious resort at the base of Camelback Mountain and the property consists of groups of “casita-like” rooms which give you a real southwestern feel.  And, there are many accessible things to do in Phoenix and the surrounding area.  Just be careful of the weather as it can get extremely hot during the summer months with temperatures over 100 degrees F.  I love Phoenix and want to get back soon.  In the meantime, here are some recommendations for you to have a fun and accessible trip to this amazing city.
