No Weight LimitRome Cavalieri, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Rome Cavalieri, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel holds an outstanding A+ Roch Rank, and it is easy to see why. Set within a private Mediterranean park of fifteen acres, the hotel welcomes dogs of any weight or size, with up to two dogs permitted in every room and suite. The park itself stretches over six hectares, offering generous space for walks right on the grounds, so your dog can stretch his legs without ever leaving the property. Beyond the gates, Parco della Vittoria is close by for a change of scenery. A dedicated dog menu, a dog-walking and dog-sitting service, and grooming arranged at a nearby canine spa round out a seriously impressive offering for travelling dog owners.
In your room you will find food and water bowls provided by the hotel, and a comfortable dog bed is available on request through Guest Services. The hotel offers a dog menu with a wide choice of dishes, including tuna with wholesome rice and meat and vegetable soups, so your dog can dine well during the stay. Should you need to leave your dog unattended in the room, you are asked to notify Guest Services and let them know how long you expect to be away. A dog-walking or dog-sitting service is on hand, and the hotel can arrange a grooming appointment at La Domus Aventina, a nearby canine spa, for treatments such as a shampoo, massage, skin treatment or brushing. Your dog is welcome in the Tiepolo Lounge and Terrace and the Imperial Club. The fee is 35 euros per day, which feels fair given the breadth of services and the estate grounds on offer.
There are a few absences to note. Dogs are not allowed in the restaurant, so mealtimes at the hotel's dining venues will need to be planned accordingly. There is no dedicated dog space, no dog wash or shower area, and the hotel does not provide free treats or poop bags. The hotel does, however, keep an emergency vet contact at the Clinica Veterinaria on Via Gregorio VII, which is reassuring. This is a stay that suits owners of any breed or size who want generous outdoor space, attentive services and the freedom to bring two dogs along. If your priority is restaurant access with your dog at your side, you will need to look elsewhere, but for almost every other measure of a dog friendly hotel, Rome Cavalieri sets a remarkably high bar.
