Dog WalkingHotel Bel-Air Dog Friendly Review
Hotel Bel-Air holds an excellent A Roch Rank, and it is easy to see why. Your dog is welcome in any room on the property, and the hotel supplies a custom dog bed, food and water bowls, and welcome treats upon arrival. Outside, the gardens by the Front Lawn and Swan Lake are very much enjoyed by dogs, giving you green space without leaving the grounds. A dedicated dog friendly courtyard near the Patisserie provides another area for your companion to relax. Up to two dogs may stay per room, and the hotel shares its pet policy before booking so there are no surprises on arrival.
Day to day, the hotel offers a strong set of services. A dog walking service is available, and the hotel can arrange a third party dog sitter. A preferred groomer can be reached out to during your stay, and the hotel keeps an emergency vet number should you need one. Poop bags are provided for your convenience, and dog toys are available for sale through the gift shop in the Patisserie, while supplies last. The hotel also offers guidance on walking routes, including a three mile walk and run from the property, and Holmby Park is a great nearby option for walks. Your dog is welcome in the outside sections of the Bar, which also functions as the Lounge, and in the Executive Courtyard. There is no damage deposit; the hotel charges only the one time pet fee unless extensive damage occurs.
There are genuine drawbacks to note. Dogs are not allowed in the restaurant, and there is no dog wash or shower area on site. The hotel encourages all dogs to be supervised while in the room, so you should not plan to leave your dog unattended. A weight limit of 45 lbs applies, ruling out larger breeds. The dog walking service is charged at $45 per hour with a four hour minimum, a $45 transportation fee and a $25 valet fee, which adds up to a steep outlay for a single walk. This is a stay that suits owners of smaller or medium sized dogs who intend to keep their companion close throughout the day. If you have a larger dog or need to leave your dog alone in the room regularly, you should look elsewhere.
