No Weight LimitThe Plaza Dog Friendly Review
The Plaza has earned an awesome A Roch Rank. This iconic hotel offers a warm welcome to your four-legged friends, with most rooms being dog friendly, making availability a breeze. Dogs are allowed in the public areas and retail shops, but not in the bar, restaurant, or terrace, so plan your dining accordingly. A major plus is that dogs can stay in the room on their own, but be aware that they must be crated for the room to be serviced while you're out.
Amenities are a mixed bag here. While dog beds and bowls are provided, don't expect any free treats or dog food. That said, if you book their indulgent VIP Pampered Pup Package for $250, you can expect upgraded amenities like welcome food and a custom-fitted dog robe.
The hotel does offer guidance on dog walk routes and can arrange dog-walking services, which is a big deal for busy travelers. However, there's no on-site garden or dedicated dog space, which is a downside in a bustling city like New York. Thankfully, public green spaces like Central Park are a stone's throw away and offer some relief for those necessary walks.
The Plaza stands out by letting dogs stay for free, a rare and significant perk. Although there's no weight limit, there is a two-dog per room policy to keep in mind. The lack of a damage deposit is another bonus, reducing upfront costs. In summary, The Plaza offers a sound dog friendly experience with some limitations. The free stay for dogs and no weight restrictions are standout features, but the lack of on-site amenities and dog friendly dining might be a drawback for some. Overall, it's a solid choice for dog owners visiting The Big Apple.
