Lisbon, Portugal · 5 Star Hotel
InterContinental Lisbon Dog Friendly Review
InterContinental Lisbon holds a C Roch Rank, and it is a hotel that has clearly given real thought to the guest who arrives with a dog. It sits on Rua Castilho with Parque Eduardo VII just across the street, so the first walk of the morning starts at the front door, and the concierge team will happily point you towards the best routes beyond it. The hotel is upfront about its dog policy before you book, most of its rooms are dog friendly, and cats are welcome too.
The welcome is a warm one. Your dog has a bed waiting in the room, along with toys, poop bags and free treats, and the staff have had training in looking after canine guests. Dogs are welcome across the hotel's public areas and out on the terrace, so you can sit out together in the Lisbon sunshine. If you need to step out, you may leave your dog alone in the room, and the hotel can arrange a pet sitter through a local provider on request. An emergency vet number is kept on hand should anything go wrong.
The practical details are simple. The dog fee is €40 per night, there is no damage deposit, and one dog may stay per room, with a weight limit of 33 lbs, so this is a hotel for smaller dogs. Dogs are welcome on the terrace of Picnic in the Park, the hotel's own restaurant, where you can eat and drink together, while the lounge and bar are kept for people. The hotel's bowls are disposable, so you may like to pack your own. For an owner with a single, smaller dog who wants a central Lisbon base with a park on the doorstep, it is an easy and well looked after stay.
