For ease of access, disabled travelers are well-served at many Asian hotels. Tokyo's Keio Plaza Inter-Continental, for one, has installed flashing lights and fire alarms for guests who cannot hear, while the Inter-Continental Tokyo Bay has staff trained in sign language. The Peninsula Hong Kong allows hearing-impaired guests to send and pick up messages on an inroom computer, while hotels like the Palau Pacific Resort provide vibrating pagers upon request. Holiday Inn and Shangri-La hotels offer at least one room designed for wheelchair users, while the Oberoi Group and the Taj Group offer similarly accessible rooms in India. The Westin hotels in Tokyo and Singapore and the Regent Sydney feature eye-level door peepholes for guests using wheelchairs. Most hotels throughout the region also keep wheelchairs on hand to assist ill or elderly visitors.
