Sofitel Philadelphia at Rittenhouse Square Dog Friendly Review
Sofitel Philadelphia at Rittenhouse Square is not certified. Assessed against the Roch Dog Friendly Standard, it missed one of our minimum requirements: it does not welcome dogs in its bar, lounge, restaurant or terrace. That caps the rank at F.
Sofitel Philadelphia at Rittenhouse Square offers a genuinely practical stay for dog owners. Dogs may be left alone in the room, which suits guests needing to step out during their stay, and most rooms in the hotel are dog friendly. A dog bed is provided along with real food and water bowls, saving owners from packing their own. The hotel's pet policy is public, so terms are easy to check in advance, and there is no damage deposit required. Green spaces and parks nearby give dogs a chance to stretch their legs, and the Rittenhouse Square setting adds to that appeal.
There is a $75 fee per stay, and only one dog is permitted per room, with a 60 lb weight limit that will rule out larger breeds. The hotel does not welcome dogs in the bar, restaurant, lounge or terrace, so shared spaces remain off limits. There is no garden or dedicated dog space, and no dog wash or shower area for cleaning up after walks. Practical extras such as poop bags, dog food for sale, free treats and dog toys are absent, and there is no dog-walking or dog-sitting service to call on. Staff are not trained for canine guests, and dogs are not offered to stay free of charge.
