Fairmont Hamilton Princess Dog Friendly Review
Fairmont Hamilton Princess holds a failing F Roch Rank, and for dog owners weighing up a stay here, that failing grade is worth keeping in mind before you book. On paper there are some genuine positives: most rooms are dog friendly, so you are not confined to a handful of designated doors, and the hotel does not ask for a damage deposit, which spares you an upfront financial worry on arrival. That is a welcome bit of ease at check-in, and it does suggest a degree of trust extended to guests travelling with dogs. But the overall picture beyond these two points is thin, and the failing rank reflects just how little else the hotel offers to back up that initial warmth.
Day to day, your options here are limited. Because most rooms accept dogs, you should have reasonable flexibility when choosing where to stay within the property, and the absence of a damage deposit means one less transaction to sort out at the desk. However, you will be charged a dog fee of US$250, and against what little else is confirmed, that is a steep sum for essentially just the right to have your dog in the room with you. There is no dog bed provided, no bowls for food or water, no dog food available to buy, and no free treats waiting for your arrival. You will not find poop bags supplied, nor any grooming or dog wash facilities on site, and staff are not noted as trained for canine guests, so do not expect tailored assistance during your stay.
The restrictions matter just as much as the missing extras. Only one dog is allowed per room, and there is a weight limit of 25 lbs, so larger dogs are simply not accommodated here regardless of temperament. Your dog also cannot be left alone in the room, which means your days will need to be planned around constant companionship rather than any independent outings, and there is no dog-sitting service to fill that gap. Dogs are not welcome in the bar, restaurant, lounge or on the terrace, and there is no garden, dedicated dog space or nearby green space mentioned, so exercise and downtime options are narrow. This stay suits only the owner with a single small dog under 25 lbs who plans to keep their dog with them at all times and needs nothing beyond a room. Owners with larger dogs, multiple dogs, or those wanting facilities and flexibility should look elsewhere.
