Ranked By Roch

A pet-friendly hotel that doesn't cater to dogs is like a restaurant serving food without flavor. It's not genuine hospitality. Hotels need to realize that for many, a dog isn't just a pet; it's family, and family deserves good hospitality.

We certified the Kimpton Canary as dog-friendly, they scored an awesome A rank, making them a great choice for dog owners visiting Santa Barbara. As you would expect from Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, dogs stay for free! They provide food and water bowls and free treats, they have no size or weight limits, and they will even walk your dog for you if you need them to. It is just a shame that dogs are not allowed in your bar and restaurant,?Debbie Chicca,?it means you can't really enjoy the hotel when you are with your dog. https://lnkd.in/d6b_YSNy

We certified the?Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria?as dog-friendly; it scored a respectable B rank, making it a good choice for dog owners visiting Sorrento, Italy. This hotel shares many of the same characteristics as A-ranking hotels; for example, it provides beds and bowls, can organize dog walking, has a garden for you to use, and, best of all, dogs stay for free at this hotel. They do not have an A rank because they lack canine inclusivity, which is non-existent at the hotel. Dogs are not allowed in the bar, restaurant, or communal areas, meaning you cannot enjoy this hotel with your dog. They also have a vague weight limit and allow "small to medium" sized dogs, something we see at hotels that selectively use weight limits to decide which dogs can stay. It is a shame,?Guido Fiorentino?and?Luca Fiorentino;?by every other measure, you should be an A-ranking hotel, but your level of inclusivity shames you and calls into question your commitment to being dog friendly. https://lnkd.in/dBm69egN

We certified?The Dolder Grand?as dog-friendly, and they scored an awesome A rank, making them a great choice for dog owners visiting Zurich. They have a chef-designed dog menu (Hunde Karte) with no less than four different meal options for your dog to choose from, and dogs are welcome in their bars, restaurants, and throughout the hotel, showcasing their canine inclusivity. They provide beds, bowls, and treats and can even take your dog for a walk if you need them to, making them one of the best dog-friendly hotels in Zurich. Well done Markus Granelli, Joachim Schweier, and team! https://lnkd.in/d6THbnXY

We certified the InterContinental Montreal as dog-friendly, they scored a disappointing D rank, making them a barely acceptable choice for dog owners. Canine inclusivity is nonexistent, dogs are not allowed in the bar, restaurant, terrace, or public areas. They also fail to provide basic amenities like a bed, or food and water bowls. But in return for a $40 per night canine tax, you get some dog treats, a small travel bowl, a small blanket, and a plush toy. There is room for improvement here Armand Abitbol. https://lnkd.in/dudJEf_e

We certified the?J.K.Place, Rome,?as dog-friendly; they scored a respectable B rank, making them a good choice for owners of very small dogs. With an absurd weight limit of just 22 pounds (10 kg), they exclude medium-sized dog breeds like our founder's Labrador and restrict access to all but the smallest dog breeds, calling into question their commitment to being dog-friendly. Dogs stay for free, though, and they provide beds, food, and water bowls, so you don't have to bring them with you. Dogs are also allowed in their bar and restaurant, enabling you to enjoy the hotel with your (small) dog. Pensiamo che il vostro limite di peso sia assurdo Maria Strati. https://lnkd.in/dGMKVXav

We certified the Carlton Hotel St. Moritz as dog-friendly; they scored a respectable B rank, making them a good choice for dog owners. Dogs are welcome in their bar and restaurant, and they provide beds and bowls. With no weight restrictions and two dogs per room allowed, their canine inclusivity shines, but there is an absence of services like dog walking and some restrictions like being unable to leave your dog in the room. Overall this is a good dog-friendly hotel, but it could be better Stephanie Lehnort. https://lnkd.in/dpFtYNpS

We certified the?Ojai Valley Inn?as dog-friendly; they scored a respectable B rank, making them a decent choice for dog owners visiting Ojai, California. They provide beds and bowls and even have dog food on their room service menu. But they do charge a completely insane canine tax of $300 *per dog*, which is the highest pet fee we have ever seen at any hotel we have certified. How do you justify that outrageous canine tax Coni Thornburg? https://lnkd.in/du8Dad-E

We certified the?Principe Forte dei Marmi?as dog-friendly; they scored our failing F rank, making them a hotel that dog owners should avoid. The hotel charges a canine tax of €50 per night while failing to provide basic amenities like beds, bowls, food, or treats. They also have an absurd weight limit of just 11 pounds, excluding most dog breeds, including our founder's labrador. Something to consider Nicolò Grillo, this is a disgrace. https://lnkd.in/d3tFXXiA

We certified the Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz as dog-friendly; they scored our failing F rank, making them a hotel that dog owners should avoid when visiting Malta. They fail to provide basic amenities like beds, bowls, food, or treats, so you must pack and bring them. The weight limit is 44 pounds (20 kg), which excludes medium-sized dog breeds like our founder's Labrador. This is a shameful rank Karl Azzopardi, and the lowest ranking of any of the Kempinski Hotels we have certified so far in any country. https://lnkd.in/ddQKMW5b
