The properly accessible ones
Sofitel Europe on Kirchberg has the most accessible rooms in the city (4), all with roll-in showers, wide doors and lowered fixtures. It is also on flat ground, which matters more than anything else in Luxembourg. Novotel Kirchberg, Melia and Doubletree by Hilton all have 1-2 accessible rooms with proper certification. Le Royal in Ville Haute has accessible rooms but the surrounding streets are cobbled and steep — great inside, hard outside.
Ibis Luxembourg Sud and Ibis Styles Centre Gare offer decent accessible rooms at budget prices, both on flat streets. Park Inn by Radisson at the airport is fully accessible and connected by tram to the city, which is often the smartest base for wheelchair users visiting Luxembourg.
The city itself, honestly
Luxembourg City is on two levels connected by cliffs. Ville Haute (upper) and Grund (lower) are joined by lifts — the Pfaffenthal lift and the Grund lift are both free, panoramic, and accessible. The tram is fully step-free. Buses kneel and have ramps. So getting around is genuinely possible. What is hard: the medieval streets of Ville Haute are cobbled and often steep, and Grund's charm comes from irregular paving. Chemin de la Corniche is flat and accessible; the Casemates are not.
Kirchberg is the accessible district by design — modern, flat, wide pavements. If mobility is the main concern, base there. It is 8 minutes to the old town by tram, all step-free.
Questions, answered
Is the Pfaffenthal lift really free?
Yes, completely free, runs 05:45-01:00, and takes wheelchairs. It connects Ville Haute to Pfaffenthal in 30 seconds.
Which neighbourhood is easiest for wheelchair users?
Kirchberg for flat modern streets, or Gare for flat central streets. Avoid Grund and upper Ville Haute as bases.
