No Weight LimitKimpton Claret Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Kimpton Claret Hotel holds an acceptable C Roch Rank for dog friendly travel, and it has some genuine strengths for owners passing through Denver. Your dog is welcome at your feet in the bar, out on the terrace, and in the open lounge area of the lobby, which doubles as a dedicated dog space. Most of the rooms are dog friendly, and there is no weight or size limit, so this is a hotel that opens its doors wide rather than making token allowances. The Belleview garden, about a block away, gives you a green space for walks close by, and the hotel says it has at times run dog friendly events, which adds a nice touch to the welcome.
Day to day, the practical details are handled simply. Dogs stay free of charge, though a refundable damage deposit of $100.00 is taken, so budget for that even though there is no separate dog fee. Staff will provide treats and poop bags on request, based on availability, and at check-in you can pick up a local walking map to help plan routes. Your dog may be left alone in the room, though if housekeeping or other guests complain about barking you would need to attend to that promptly. There is no dog bed, no food or water bowls provided, and no dog food for sale, so you will want to bring your own essentials for the room.
On the restriction side, besides the deposit, dogs are not allowed in the restaurant, and the hotel does not provide a garden for dogs to use, a dog wash area, dog toys, a dog-walking service, or grooming arrangements, so anything beyond the basics will need to be sourced yourself. There is no emergency vet number kept on file and no dog-specific staff training mentioned, which matters if you are travelling with a nervous or reactive dog. This stay suits an easygoing owner with a well behaved dog who is happy to settle in communal spaces like the bar and lobby lounge and who does not need extra kit or specialist support. Owners wanting on-site grooming, a dedicated garden, or vet contacts close to hand should look elsewhere.
