The Langham, Shanghai Dog Friendly Review
The Langham, Shanghai holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, despite a genuine effort to welcome dogs in a few meaningful ways. Dogs are allowed in the hotel's guest rooms, the lobby and the outdoor Al Fresco area of its restaurant, and the hotel notes there are plenty of green spaces and parks nearby for walks. Staff have had training in hosting canine guests, and the concierge keeps information on nearby veterinary services on hand, which gives some reassurance for the duration of the stay.
In the room you will find a crate and a sofa bed set up for your dog, along with proper food and water bowls, and a complimentary fresh food treat pack is provided for the length of the stay. The concierge can point you towards recommended walking routes near the hotel, and your dog is welcome to settle in the lobby or join you on the Al Fresco terrace of the restaurant, though this is described as an outdoor area rather than a garden. You may leave your dog alone in the room if needed. The dog fee is 525 yuan, and each room carries a refundable damage deposit of 1000 yuan per night, which is a steep add-on once stacked against the fee.
There are real limits to plan around. Only specific dog friendly rooms can be booked, reserved either directly or through the hotel's one partner platform, so this is not a stay you can arrange on a whim. A weight and size limit applies, with dogs capped at 33 lbs and a shoulder height of 50 centimetres, which rules out larger breeds entirely, and only two dogs are permitted per room. There is no garden for dogs to use, no dog wash area, no poop bags provided and no dog-walking service or sitter arrangement. This stay suits an owner with a single small, well mannered dog who wants a comfortable, supervised city break with a few thoughtful in-room touches, but larger dogs or owners hoping for dedicated outdoor space and extra services should look elsewhere.

This hotel has been evaluated, ranked and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world’s first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry.
