Dog WalkingMandarin Oriental, Boston Dog Friendly Review
Mandarin Oriental, Boston is not certified. Assessed against the Roch Dog Friendly Standard, it did not meet our minimum requirements for certification. That caps the rank at F.
Mandarin Oriental, Boston makes a genuine effort to welcome four-legged guests. Dogs are permitted in the lounge, and there is a garden they can use, with green spaces and parks nearby for walks. Most rooms are dog friendly, and a dog bed along with proper food and water bowls are provided in the room. Owners also receive free treats for their pets, and the hotel offers a dog-walking service for those who need help exercising their companion. There is no damage deposit required, which removes one common financial worry for travelling dog owners.
That said, there are notable gaps for anyone travelling with a dog. A weight limit of 40 lbs applies, so larger breeds will not be accommodated, and only two dogs are permitted per room. Dogs are not welcome in the bar, restaurant or on the terrace, which limits where owners can dine or relax with their pets. There is no dedicated dog space or dog wash area, and dogs cannot be left alone in the room, meaning owners must plan their time carefully. The hotel also does not offer a dog-sitting service or provide poop bags, so guests will need to bring their own supplies and arrange any extended care independently.
