Dogs In The BarSplendido, A Belmond Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Splendido, A Belmond Hotel holds an excellent A Roch Rank, and it is easy to see why. Dogs stay completely free of charge, with no damage deposit required, making this one of the most welcoming luxury options for travelling dog owners. The hotel has dedicated dog friendly areas on site where you can stroll with your dog, and beautiful trails lead directly from the hotel towards Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure, offering wonderful walks through the Ligurian landscape. Small dogs are welcome in the restaurant, bar, lounge and on the terrace, so your companion can join you throughout much of the day.
In your room you will find a dog bed, a bowl and amenities designed especially for four legged guests. The hotel also provides poop bags for your walks, and staff can offer guidance on walking routes from the property. Most rooms are dog friendly, though you should indicate at the time of booking that you will be bringing a dog. You may leave your dog alone in the room for short periods, such as during dinner, provided the dog is calm. There is no fee for your dog's stay and no damage deposit, which feels generous given the calibre of the hotel.
There are real limits to note. A size restriction applies: dogs must be no taller than approximately 45 cm and no heavier than 15 lbs, so this is strictly a small dog hotel. Dogs must be kept on a lead when passing through reception or along corridors. There is no garden for dogs to use, no dog wash area, and the hotel does not offer a dog sitting or dog walking service. Treats, dog food and toys are not provided either. This stay suits owners of small, calm dogs who want a refined Ligurian escape with their companion at their side. Owners of larger or more energetic dogs will need to look elsewhere.
