Description of the facility

Hotel Vita is partially accessible. It is part of a larger complex that includes Terme Dobrna and Hotel Vita. Adapted parking spaces are located near the entrance, accessible via a slightly sloped path. The glass entrance doors lack contrast markings, and there are no tactile or contrast indicators on the path to the reception area, which is positioned to the left of the entrance.

The central staircase, around which the hotel and spa spaces are arranged, is located next to the reception. Nearby elevators have small cabins, and the buttons are not adapted for blind or visually impaired persons. On the ground floor, there is a café, a fitness area, a small shop, and adapted sanitary facilities.

The restaurant is located on an upper floor. Its dining areas can be divided for private groups or lectures. The conference hall, also on an upper floor, is accessible via stairs equipped with an inclined platform lift adapted for wheelchair users. The hall has fixed auditorium-style seating and is not equipped with hearing loops, though renovation and upgrades are reportedly planned.

Access to the accommodation units leads past the reception to an annex with additional elevators and staircases. The rooms are accessible but not equipped with adapted bathrooms. Fully adapted rooms are available only within the Rehabilitation and Care Department of Terme Dobrna, which is accessible via a separate elevator, but entry is possible only by prior arrangement.

No hearing loops are installed in the facility.
