Kimpton Vero Beach Hotel & Spa

Kimpton Vero Beach Hotel & Spa Dog Friendly Review

If you have ever cut a trip short, left your dog behind, or spent a holiday feeling like the awkward guest with a dog in tow, Kimpton Vero Beach Hotel & Spa is the cure. It holds our A+ rank, the very highest we award, and it wears it beautifully. This is a hotel that does not simply allow dogs, it delights in them. From the moment you walk in with your companion at your side, you are treated as exactly the guests they were hoping would arrive.

Here your dog goes where you go. Into the bar for a nightcap, into the restaurant for dinner, out onto the terrace, through the lounge, and happily at ease in the room while you take an hour to yourself. There is no weight limit and no size limit, so the big, lolloping Labradors and gentle giants who are so often turned away are every bit as welcome as any lapdog. And in a gesture almost unheard of at a spa hotel of this class, your dog stays completely free. No nightly fee, no deposit, no small print, just a genuine, open handed welcome.

Then there is the setting, which for a dog is close to paradise. The Atlantic is right on the doorstep, with oceanfront parks and a dedicated dog park all within an easy mile, so every morning can begin with sand underfoot and a proper run before breakfast. Back inside, nothing has been left to chance. A proper bed is waiting, food and water come in real bowls, there are treats on arrival and toys to keep tails going, a wash and shower area for salty returns from the beach, grooming on request, and a front desk that knows all the best local dog walks.

What truly sets this hotel apart is that it plainly means it. Kimpton Vero Beach keeps an emergency vet's number close, so your dog's wellbeing is looked after before you have even had to think about it. It lends its name and its support to a dog charity. And its devotion to four legged guests has earned it real recognition in the dog friendly press. This is not a hotel ticking a box, it is a hotel that has built dogs into who it is, and it shows in every detail.

Quite simply, this is one of the finest places in the country to bring a dog, a rare marriage of a spa hotel's polish with an unforced, wholehearted love of dogs. Book it, bring your best friend, and spend the entire stay without once apologising for their presence. Its A+ rank is not merely earned, it is celebrated.

To get the best possible room rate, always call the hotel and mention Roch Dog.
