Shangri La Toronto Dog Friendly Review
Shangri La Toronto holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, which sets modest expectations from the outset, though there are genuine strengths here for anyone travelling with a dog. Most rooms are dog friendly, so you have a fair chance of booking somewhere your dog can settle, and the hotel welcomes cats to stay as well if your household extends beyond a single canine. You will find green spaces and parks nearby for the daily walks that matter, and the hotel offers guidance on walking routes so you are not left guessing where to head each morning. For real peace of mind, there is an emergency vet number to hand, meaning that if something goes wrong you know exactly who to call rather than scrambling in an unfamiliar city.
In your room you will find a dog bed already provided along with real food and water bowls, which spares you packing the bulkier bits of kit and means your dog eats and sleeps in proper comfort from the first night. There is no damage deposit to leave, so you avoid tying up a chunk of money against mishaps, but you should budget for a dog fee of CAD 125, and given that this buys little beyond the room access itself and the basic in-room kit, it is a steep charge for what it actually delivers. The hotel does not sell dog food, so plan to bring your own supplies, and there are no poop bags provided, meaning you must carry your own for those nearby walks. Grooming, a dog wash and any dog-walking or dog-sitting service are all absent, so the day-to-day care falls entirely to you.
The firmest constraints are worth weighing carefully: a weight limit of 50 lbs rules out larger dogs entirely, only one dog is permitted per room, and crucially your dog may not be left alone in the room, which ties you to its side throughout the stay. That last rule bites hard because the bar, the restaurant, the lounge and any terrace are all off limits to dogs, so you cannot slip down for a meal or a drink with your dog in tow, nor leave it upstairs while you do. There is no garden, no dedicated dog space and no dog friendly activities or events to fill the hours either. This stay suits an owner of a smaller, calm dog who plans to be out and about together on the nearby walks and does not need to dine on site; anyone with a large breed, or who needs to leave their dog even briefly, should look elsewhere.
