Dog WalkingInterContinental Los Angeles Downtown Dog Friendly Review
InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown holds a respectable B Roch Rank for dog friendliness, and it earns it with some genuinely useful touches for travelling owners. All of the hotel's rooms are dog friendly, so you need not worry about room allocation, and dogs are welcome in the bar, lounge areas and on the 7th floor patio next to the pool, provided they are leashed and not disturbing other guests. Staff can also point you towards the area around Los Angeles City Hall for walks and socialising with other dog owners, which is a thoughtful bit of local knowledge for anyone new to the city.
On arrival you will be given a dog amenity bag containing a water bowl, a treat, a chewing toy and some doggie bags, a nice way to settle your dog into the room straight away. Your dog may be left alone in the room, so long as there are no complaints about noise, and if you would rather not walk your dog yourself the hotel can arrange a dog walking service. A $125.00 dog fee applies, alongside a $125.00 refundable damage deposit, which is a fair cost set against the amenities and access on offer. Beyond the room, your dog can join you in the bar, lounge and patio areas, all leashed.
There are some real limits to weigh up. A weight limit of 40 lbs applies, so larger dogs are not accommodated here, and the damage deposit means you will need to budget for that outlay alongside the fee. The hotel does not provide a dog bed or dog food for sale, there is no dedicated dog space or dog wash area, and dogs are not allowed in the restaurant or in any garden, since none is provided. Grooming and dog sitting through the hotel are not available either. This makes InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown a solid choice for owners of smaller, well mannered dogs who want city centre access, leashed common areas and a thoughtful welcome bag, but owners of larger dogs, or those seeking grooming, sitting services or dedicated dog facilities, should look elsewhere.
