Hyatt Regency Vancouver Dog Friendly Review
Hyatt Regency Vancouver holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, which is a pity given how much it actually gets right for owners travelling with a dog. Most rooms here are dog friendly, so you are not confined to a narrow selection of pet rooms tucked away from everything else, and the hotel is upfront about its pet policy before you even book, which lets you plan your stay without any nasty surprises at check-in. There are green spaces and parks nearby, meaning your dog has somewhere proper to stretch its legs beyond the hotel grounds, and staff will offer guidance on walking routes so you are not left guessing where to go in an unfamiliar city. An emergency vet number is on hand too, which brings a genuine sense of reassurance should anything go wrong during your stay.
Once you are settled in, the practical touches make daily life with your dog fairly comfortable. A dog bed is provided along with real food and water bowls, so you needn't cart your own set from home. There is a $100 dog fee to factor in, and against a fairly modest set of confirmed extras, that figure feels steep for what little it demonstrably buys beyond the bed and bowls. On top of that, a refundable damage deposit of $50 CAD per night is charged, which will be returned assuming the room is left in good order, but it does add to the upfront cost of the stay. Dogs are capped at 50lbs, so larger breeds will not qualify, and the hotel allows up to two dogs per room, which suits owners travelling with a pair rather than a larger pack.
The real sticking point is that your dog may not be left alone in the room, so any plans for solo dinners, meetings or outings without your dog in tow will need rethinking, and this alone rules the hotel out for owners who need to leave their dog unattended even briefly. There is no dog wash area, no dog-walking or dog-sitting service, no poop bags supplied, no grooming, no toys and no free treats, and staff are not trained specifically for canine guests, so you are largely on your own for anything beyond the basics. Dogs also cannot join you in the bar, restaurant, lounge or on any terrace, garden or dedicated dog space, since none of these exist here. This hotel suits an owner with a smaller, well behaved dog under 50lbs who plans to keep their dog with them at all times and values the nearby green spaces and reassurance of a vet contact; owners needing flexibility to leave their dog alone, or wanting dog friendly communal spaces, should look elsewhere.
