Kimpton Journeyman Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Kimpton Journeyman Hotel holds an acceptable C Roch Rank for dog friendly stays. Dogs are welcome in the cafe area of the restaurant and in the outside section of Tre Rivali, as well as in the lobby, and the hotel has earned media coverage over the past ten years for being a luxury and dog friendly hotel. There are great walking routes along the riverwalk or the lakefront, plus a number of parks close by, giving you plenty of options to stretch your dog's legs. Cats are welcome too, so the hotel is fully set up for pets of all kinds.
Most rooms here are dog friendly, with no weight or size limit beyond fitting through the door, and up to three dogs may share a room with you. The hotel provides treats and poop bags for your stay, and you may leave your dog alone in the room if you need to step out. There is no charge for dogs and no damage deposit required, which makes this an easy stay to budget for. Beyond the cafe area, outdoor terrace and lobby, your dog's access is limited, so plan your time around those spaces and the nearby parks and riverside routes.
The hotel does not provide a dog bed, bowls, dog food or toys, and there is no dog wash or shower area or dedicated dog space on site. Dogs are not allowed in the bar or lounge, and there is no garden for them to use. The hotel does not offer a dog-walking service, cannot arrange grooming or a sitter, and does not run dog friendly activities or events, nor does it mention canine guest training for staff or an emergency vet number. This suits an owner with a well behaved dog who is happy to rely on nearby parks and riverside walks rather than on-site facilities, and who values a free, low-fuss stay with flexible room access. Owners wanting kitted-out extras like a dog bed, bowls or a dedicated play space should look elsewhere.
