Dog FoodThe Ritz-Carlton Toronto Dog Friendly Review
The Ritz-Carlton Toronto holds a respectable B Roch Rank. Most of its guest rooms can take dogs, up to two per room, and the strength of the stay is the service wrapped around your dog. The concierge will provide local walking routes, arrange trusted outside dog walkers and sitters, and recommend and book a local groomer. Simcoe Park sits just behind the hotel and David Pecaut Square is close by, so daily walks are easy, and the team suggests the Harbourfront and the Toronto Islands for longer outings.
In the room, a dog bed and water bowls are provided. The hotel does not keep toys or poop bags, so bring your own, though it will shop for dog food on your behalf and add it to your bill. You may leave your dog unattended in the room, although housekeeping will only service it if he is crated or you are present. The fee is $150 per stay, a non-refundable cleaning charge, and no separate damage deposit is taken, though you remain responsible for any damage.
The limits are real ones. Dogs must weigh 30 lbs or less, which excludes most medium and all large dogs, and they are not permitted in the restaurants and bars, the Club Lounge, the spa or the pool. The exception is a room with its own terrace on the sixth floor, where your dog is welcome outside. This suits an owner with a small dog who wants the dog looked after to a high standard and is content to dine without him. Owners of bigger dogs cannot stay.
Roch Score: 34/77. Meets the Roch Dog Friendly Standard. This hotel has been evaluated, ranked and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world’s first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry. We gathered data directly from the hotel and benchmarked it against thousands of other hotels to accurately and fairly derive its rank.
