The Fairmont Palliser Dog Friendly Review

The Fairmont Palliser holds a respectable B Roch Rank. This historic hotel offers a decent experience for dog owners, though there are some limitations to be aware of. Most rooms are dog friendly, which is a plus, but don't expect to bring your furry friend to the bar, restaurant, or any public areas. Dogs can't be left alone in the room, which can be a hassle if you plan to explore without them.

On the amenities front, the hotel provides dog beds and bowls, but don't count on any free treats or dog food. The presence of a garden is a major plus, offering a convenient spot for quick walks. For more extensive outings, nearby parks are accessible, though you'll need to plan your routes.

The $40 per night fee is on the higher side, especially considering the limited amenities and restrictions. However, there's no weight limit, which is a relief for owners of larger breeds like Golden Retrievers. The absence of a damage deposit is a small win, reducing upfront costs.

While the hotel doesn't offer dog-walking or sitting services, they do provide guidance on local walk routes, which is helpful. The staff is trained to handle dogs, ensuring a welcoming atmosphere. Overall, The Fairmont Palliser is a solid choice if you're looking for a comfortable stay with your canine companion, but be prepared for some restrictions.
