InterContinental Toronto Centre Dog Friendly Review
InterContinental Toronto Centre holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, which is a pity given the genuine effort it puts into welcoming dogs. Most rooms here are open to dogs, and the hotel makes a point of sharing its pet policy with you before you book, so there are no surprises when you arrive. There is a garden your dog can use, and with green spaces and parks nearby you will not struggle to find somewhere for a proper walk. Staff can also offer guidance on local walking routes, which is a nice touch for anyone unfamiliar with the city. Cats are welcome too, so this is a hotel that clearly wants to accommodate a range of travelling companions, even if the overall execution does not quite match the ambition suggested by these individual strengths.
Day to day, the practicalities are reasonably well handled. A dog bed is provided in the room, which saves you from having to pack your own, and if your schedule gets busy the hotel offers a dog-walking service to help fill the gaps. It has no dog-sitting service, though the concierge can give you pet-sitter information with advance notice. A refundable damage deposit is charged, though the hotel did not disclose the amount, so you will want to confirm this on arrival to avoid any confusion at checkout. Only one dog is permitted per room, and a weight limit of 50 lbs applies, so larger breeds are ruled out regardless of temperament. Access is limited to the room and the garden, with guidance on routes for exercise beyond the grounds, so your movements around the property will be fairly defined rather than free-ranging.
The restrictions are worth weighing carefully before you book. Your dog cannot be left alone in the room, so any plans that involve popping out without them will need rethinking, and there is no dedicated dog space, dog wash area, or provision of bowls, food, treats or poop bags, meaning you will need to bring the basics yourself. There is no access to the bar, restaurant, terrace or lounge with your dog, no grooming or toys, and no evidence of staff training, dog friendly events, awards or media coverage, nor any charity support or emergency vet number on hand. This stay suits an organised owner with a smaller, well-behaved dog who values a garden, sensible walking guidance and a dog-walking service over indulgent extras. Owners hoping for a wider-roaming, amenity-rich experience, or who have a dog over 50 lbs, should look elsewhere.
