Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile scored a disappointing D Roch Rank. While the hotel offers some dog-friendly features, the overall experience leaves much to be desired. Dogs are welcome in public areas, but not in the restaurant, which is a letdown for those hoping to dine with their furry friends. The $50 per stay fee is reasonable, but the inability to leave dogs unattended in rooms can be a real hassle, especially for solo travelers or those with busy itineraries.
The hotel provides essentials like dog beds and bowls, which is a plus, but lacks dedicated dog spaces or on-site gardens. For a quick walk, there's a small park right across the street, and Washington Square Park is a few blocks away, offering more room to roam. However, the absence of dog-walking or sitting services means you'll need to plan your outings carefully.
With a weight limit of 50 pounds, larger breeds like Labradors are excluded, which is a significant drawback for many dog owners. The restriction to two dogs per room is standard, but the limited availability of dog-friendly rooms means booking ahead is crucial. On a positive note, the hotel's seasonal charity initiative with Tito's Vodka is commendable, showing a commitment to supporting service dogs.
In summary, while Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile makes some effort to accommodate dogs, the restrictions and lack of amenities make it less than ideal for a truly dog-friendly stay. Consider other options if you're looking for a more welcoming experience for your canine companion.
