All Inclusive Washrooms
At The LaLiT, we have introduced all-inclusive washrooms across all our properties to ensure safety, dignity, and accessibility for all. These gender-neutral spaces promote inclusivity, reduce discrimination, and provide a welcoming environment for people of all identities and backgrounds.
