Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows

Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows Dog Friendly Review

Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows holds an outstanding A+ Roch Rank, and once you look at how far it goes to make your dog feel like a proper guest rather than a tolerated extra, that score makes sense. This is a place where your dog can come with you into the bar, the restaurant, the lounge and out onto the terrace or patio, so you are not left eating alone or leaving your companion behind while you unwind. There is a garden your dog may use and green spaces and parks close by, with staff who can point you towards sensible walking routes when you want to stretch both your legs. It welcomes dogs of any weight or size, so a large breed is as welcome as a small one, and it will even take cats if your household runs to more than one kind of animal.

In the room you will find a dog bed already waiting along with real food and water bowls rather than flimsy disposables, and if you have travelled light there is dog food for sale on site and free treats to boot. Day to day, the hotel offers a dog-walking service and a dog-sitting service, poop bags for the walks you take yourself, and grooming should your dog need tidying up during the stay. The pet policy is shared with you before you book, so there are no surprises at check-in, and there is no damage deposit to find, only a $125 one-time pet fee. That fee is a fair reflection of the bed, bowls, treats and the walking, sitting and grooming services on hand, and you may bring up to two dogs per room without any weight or size cap counting against you.

The catches are worth knowing before you commit. Only some rooms are dog friendly rather than the whole hotel, so book early and confirm you have the right one, and your dog may not be left alone in the room at any point, which means you will need to lean on the dog-sitting service whenever you want to head out unaccompanied. There is no dedicated dog space and no dog wash or shower area, no dog toys provided, and the staff, while welcoming, are not specifically trained for canine guests, so this is comfort and convenience rather than specialist care. This stay suits the owner who wants their dog beside them through dinner and drinks and does not mind arranging a sitter for solo outings. An owner who needs to leave a dog resting alone in the room, or who wants toys and a wash area laid on, should look elsewhere.
