Sea Containers London Dog Friendly Review
Sea Containers London holds an acceptable C Roch Rank, and behind that middling grade sits a hotel that clearly wants dogs there rather than merely tolerating them. Your dog is welcome where it counts, joining you in the restaurant, the lounge and out on the terrace, so meals and drinks are something you share rather than juggle around. The room is properly kitted out with a dog bed, real food and water bowls and free treats on arrival, and there is even a dedicated dog space and printed guidance on where to walk locally, with green spaces and parks close by. Most rooms take dogs, the hotel shares its pet policy before you book so there are no surprises, and it keeps an emergency vet number to hand. For a central London hotel, that is a genuinely thoughtful welcome for a travelling dog.
The practical terms are straightforward, if not cheap. There is a £100 dog fee and a separate refundable £100 damage deposit, both to settle up front, with the deposit returned provided your dog leaves the room as it found it. For that you get the bed, bowls, treats and dog friendly activities the hotel lays on, which is a fuller offer than most city hotels bother with, so the fee reads as buying real amenities rather than bare permission. Poop bags are provided, which spares you carrying your own, though there is no dog food for sale on site, so bring your dog's meals with you. One rule to plan around is that dogs may not be left alone in the room, so a day out needs to be one your dog can join, or one you arrange around.
The real constraint here is size. A 20 lb weight limit is strict even by city standards, ruling out all but small breeds, so this is a hotel for a lapdog rather than a labrador, with up to two dogs allowed per room. Your dog is not welcome in the bar, there is no garden, no dog wash for muddy paws, and no grooming or dog-sitting on site, and no staff are specifically trained for canine guests, so the welcome is warm but not fully staffed. This stay suits an owner with one or two very small dogs who wants them along at dinner and on the terrace and will make use of the treats, the dog space and the walking guidance; owners of medium or large dogs are ruled out by the weight limit and should look elsewhere.
