As I live in London, I don’t have much need for a dog-friendly hotel – although I found a really useful Facebook group recently with advice on dog-friendly holiday accommodation elsewhere in the UK
But it was good to see a short video from about Napoleon the Dachshund’s recent visit to the five star ME London hotel on The Strand www.melia.com
And with Christmas on the way, and the possibility of friends and family visiting London with their canine companions, it would be helpful to hear your feedback on where’s good for dogs. Here’s a few that I have tracked down where the web sites have information specifically about dog guests and facilities:
Bermondsey - Bermondsey Square Hotel
bermondseysquarehotel.co.uk (this is close to Holly & Lil’s famous dog collar designer shop where you can obtain a brilliant dog-friendly map of the surrounding area)
Docklands - Aloft London Excel
www.aloftlondonexcel.com (with a dog snack and sip station in the lobby (including an ultra-cool Fatboy dog bed))
Holborn – Montague Hotel
www.montaguehotel.com (Dog goodie bags, dog sitting and walking and pet beds)
Kensington – Milestone Hotel www.milestonehotel.com (Pet preference form with Pampered Pet services including an evening turndown service for pets)
Knightsbridge - Egerton House Hotel
www.redcarnationhotels.com (Pet concierge services include: food and water bowls, turndown pet treat, dog sitting and walking service, grooming service, toys and treats and special dining menu)
Victoria – Hotel 41
www.41hotel.com (A pet concierge manages an astonishing range of services including: dog sitting and walking, grooming, dog and cat treats, toys and menus, birthday celebrations, bathrobes, leads and litter boxes, taxi service, pet store details, map of nearby parks and walks and even dog and cat first aid kits)
Victoria – Rubens at the Palace
www.rubenshotel.com (Includes a welcome hamper for your dog at check in and a framed photo and certificate on check out)
Dear hotel owners - It would be really helpful if you either offered a search facility or had a dedicated page about your policies and/or facilities for dogs and other pets
