No Weight LimitGansevoort Meatpacking Dog Friendly Review
Gansevoort Meatpacking holds an acceptable C Roch Rank, which feels about right for a hotel that clearly wants to welcome dogs but has not built its whole identity around them. It sits with green spaces and parks nearby, so you and your dog will have somewhere pleasant to stretch your legs beyond the property itself, and the hotel is happy to share its pet policy with you before you book, so there are no surprises on arrival. There is no weight or size limit, which is a real relief if you travel with a larger breed that so many places quietly turn away. The terrace or patio is open to dogs too, giving you a bit of outdoor space to sit with your dog without having to leave the building entirely. The overall impression is of a stylish city hotel that has made a genuine, if not exhaustive, effort to accommodate four-legged guests.
Once you are settled in, the practicalities are handled reasonably well. Your room will come with a proper dog bed and real food and water bowls rather than makeshift substitutes, and there are dog toys provided too, so your dog should feel reasonably at home. The hotel offers guidance on walking routes, which is useful in an unfamiliar part of the city, and there is a dog-walking service on hand if you need help exercising your dog during a busy day. You can leave your dog alone in the room, which gives you flexibility if you need to head out without them. There is no damage deposit to worry about, though you will pay $100 per pet, per stay, which is a fairly steep charge given the fairly modest list of extras it covers. The hotel also supports a dog charity, a nice touch for anyone who likes to know their custom does a little good, and cats are welcome too if your household travels mixed.
The main limitation is that only some rooms are dog friendly, not all, so you will need to check and confirm the right room type when booking rather than assuming any room will do. Beyond that, your dog's access is fairly contained: there is no dog friendly bar, restaurant or lounge, no garden for dogs to use, and no dedicated dog space or wash area, so daily life with your dog will mostly happen in the room and on the terrace. There are no poop bags supplied, no grooming, no dog-sitting service and no emergency vet number on hand, so you will need to come prepared and self-sufficient on the practical side. Staff are not specifically trained for canine guests, and there are no dog friendly activities, events, awards or media coverage to speak of. This is a reasonable choice for an owner with a well-behaved, self-sufficient dog who mainly wants a comfortable base and a nearby park, but owners wanting a fully immersive, dog-centric hotel experience with extensive on-site facilities should look elsewhere.
