Dog WalkingThe Lanesborough Dog Friendly Review
The Lanesborough holds an A Roch Rank, and its welcome for dogs matches the polish of its Hyde Park Corner address. Most rooms are dog friendly, and small and medium sized, well-behaved dogs are welcome in The Withdrawing Room and The Library Bar as well as the hotel's public areas, so your companion can join you for a drink. Dogs are not permitted in the restaurant or on the terrace, and they should not be left alone in the room.
Every dog is treated to bespoke bedding, bowls and welcome treats. The Pet Concierge Service can arrange grooming and dog walking, and the team offers guidance on the best walking routes. Personal touches are a speciality here: a specific diet, medication requirements, even a birthday celebration for your dog, just let the team know and it is taken care of.
Best of all, dogs stay free, with no pet fee and no damage deposit, and Hyde Park is right on the doorstep for walks. For a luxurious London stay with a small or medium sized dog, The Lanesborough is hard to beat.
