London, Greater London, United Kingdom · 5 Star Hotel
The Pelham London Dog Friendly Review
The Pelham London holds a respectable B Roch Rank, and it earns this with a genuinely welcoming approach to dogs. The hotel sits within walking distance of Hyde Park, with the nearest entrance just a ten minute walk away, giving you easy access to London's biggest park for daily walks. There are no room restrictions for guests travelling with a pet, and dogs are welcome in the bar, the restaurant and the lounge, provided they are kept on a leash and wearing a suitable muzzle in the food and drink areas, and are well behaved in the lounge. The hotel also shares its pet policy with guests before booking, so you know what to expect in advance.
Day to day, the hotel will provide a dog bed for your room, and your dog can be left alone there, day or night, so long as you notify staff by placing a tag on the outside door handle. The hotel charges £40 per night for your dog, alongside a refundable damage deposit of £50 per night, which covers incidentals as well as the dog's stay. Beyond the room, your dog is free to join you in the bar, restaurant and lounge under the conditions above, and the nearby Hyde Park offers plenty of space to stretch his legs on walks from the hotel.
The main restriction to bear in mind is that only small to medium sized dogs are accepted, so larger breeds will need to look elsewhere. There is also no terrace or garden for dogs to use, no dedicated dog space or wash area, and the hotel does not supply poop bags, dog food, treats or toys, nor does it offer grooming, a walking service or a sitter. This makes The Pelham London best suited to owners with a smaller or medium sized, well behaved dog who are happy to handle walking routes and supplies themselves, and who value a central London base near Hyde Park with genuine access to the hotel's public spaces. Owners of larger dogs, or those wanting on-site extras like grooming or a dog-walking service, should look elsewhere.
