No Weight LimitKimpton Hotel Arras Dog Friendly Review
Kimpton Hotel Arras holds an acceptable C Roch Rank, and for dog owners it offers a genuinely welcoming base in Asheville. Dogs are welcome in the bar and restaurant area called District 42, as well as on the terrace or patio, and the hotel maintains lounging areas where dogs are welcome even though there is no dedicated lounge. There is a park area right across from the hotel with plenty of green grass for dogs to relieve themselves, which makes those early morning and late night outings easy. All rooms are dog friendly, and with no weight or size limit, the only test is whether your dog fits in the elevator.
Day to day, the hotel is well set up for a dog's comfort. On request, the room can be notated for dog bowls and a dog bed, and staff can provide real food and water bowls along with a toy ball that squeaks and a welcome bag of treats. Poop bags are provided, and the front desk can supply a map of walking routes around Asheville, alongside guidance to ExploreAsheville.com. For pet sitting, many guests use Wag!, and the hotel keeps the number for VEG ER, the local emergency vet, on hand. Dogs may be left alone in the room. There is no pet fee, ever, and no damage deposit, with up to three dogs allowed per room.
There are no stated restrictions on this stay, which is a rare thing, though a few amenities simply are not on offer: there is no garden for dogs to use, no dog wash or shower area, no dog food for sale, no dog-walking service and no grooming arranged by the hotel. Bargello, the hotel's other restaurant, cannot accommodate pets. This is a strong choice for an owner travelling with a well behaved dog of any size who wants an easy, fee free stay with grounds nearby and staff who think of the small touches like treats and a squeaky toy. Owners hoping for an on-site garden, grooming or a dog wash should look elsewhere.
