The Savoy Dog Friendly Review
The Savoy holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, which is a shame given its genuine strengths for dog owners. All guest rooms are dog friendly, and Embankment Gardens sits right beside the hotel, ideal for walks along the River Thames. Cats are welcome too, and one suite even offers a private terrace where dogs may join you.
Your room comes with a dog bed, food and water bowls, and a welcome treat from housekeeping on arrival. The hotel can arrange a professional dog sitting service at an additional charge, and there is no damage deposit required, though a fee of £100 per stay applies, which is fair for a stay of this calibre. Up to two dogs per room are allowed.
Dogs must weigh no more than 25 lbs, and they may not be left unattended in guest rooms, which limits your freedom to step out alone. There is no garden for dogs to use, and dogs are not allowed in the bar, restaurant or lounge. This suits an owner with a small, well behaved dog who plans to accompany him everywhere; those needing to leave a dog alone, or travelling with a larger breed, should look elsewhere.
