The Ritz-Carlton, Montreal Dog Friendly Review
The Ritz-Carlton, Montreal holds an acceptable C Roch Rank for dog friendliness, and it builds a genuinely welcoming case for owners travelling with a dog. All of its rooms are dog friendly, and cats are welcomed under the same policy, which speaks to a broad and consistent approach rather than a token gesture. The hotel points guests toward nearby parks and green spaces for walks, and the concierge team will recommend walking routes near the hotel, so there is help in hand for working out your dog's daily exercise from the moment you check in.
Day to day, the hotel takes care of the basics well. A dog bed will be placed in the room for your dog's convenience, real food and water bowls are provided, and a toy can be arranged in the room on special request. Poop bags are supplied, and the concierge keeps the contact information for nearby 24 hour veterinary clinics, which is reassuring for peace of mind. Dog sitting can be arranged through the hotel, and grooming can be organised at a local groomer's through the concierge team. Your dog may be left in the room alone for a short period of time, such as during dinner. A dog fee of 30 CAD an hour applies, alongside a refundable damage deposit of 200 CAD per night, and rooms may hold up to 2 dogs.
The security deposit is a real cost to plan for, and the hourly dog fee is worth factoring in depending on how long your dog spends apart from you. The hotel does not allow dogs in the bar, restaurant, lounge or terrace, there is no garden or dedicated dog space, and no dog wash or shower area is provided. This stay suits an owner with a well settled dog who is happy to be left briefly in the room and who will take advantage of the nearby parks and concierge-arranged services for exercise, sitting and grooming. Owners hoping to bring their dog into communal dining or lounge areas, or who want on-site green space, should look elsewhere.
