The Ivy Hotel
Baltimore, Maryland, United States · 5 Star Hotel
The Ivy Hotel Dog Friendly Review
The Ivy Hotel holds an acceptable C Roch Rank. Most rooms take dogs, up to two to a room, your dog is welcome in the bar and on the terrace, and dogs can be left alone in the room, which gives you the freedom to head out for dinner. The room comes with a dog bed, food and water bowls, treats and toys, and the concierge keeps poo bags at the desk.
The dog fee is 0 per room per night, there is no damage deposit, and a weight limit of 25 pounds applies, so this suits a smaller dog. The concierge will talk you through local walking routes and can point you to a local groomer, though there is no dog walking or dog sitting service. Dogs are not allowed in the restaurant, there is no garden or dedicated dog space, and no parks lie within walking distance.
This is a well equipped stay for a small dog, with the bar, the terrace and a full kit waiting in the room, though staff have not been trained for canine guests and the hotel does not keep an emergency vet number. It suits the owner of a smaller dog who wants to eat out in the evening and leave a settled dog behind, and who is happy to walk city streets rather than a park.
