The Sutton Place Hotel Vancouver Dog Friendly Review
The Sutton Place Hotel Vancouver holds a failing F Roch Rank, despite showing some genuine strengths for dog owners. The hotel has received press coverage for being dog friendly, and shares its pet policy with guests before booking so there are no surprises on arrival. There are green spaces nearby, with gardens on the back area toward Smithe Street and Nelson Park five blocks away, giving you real options for walks. The concierge will also offer guidance on walking routes, and the hotel keeps a note of the closest animal hospital, directing guests there in case of emergency. Cats are welcome too, so a multi-pet household travelling together need not split up.
Day to day, the hotel offers some practical extras, though all are subject to availability: dog beds, food and water bowls, and dog treats may be provided in the room. The hotel also keeps a small supply of poop bags on hand for guests who run short. Dogs are only allowed in the patio of the restaurant, and even then this is subject to weather, day and time, so there is nowhere else on site your dog may accompany you. The fee for bringing your dog is $40 per night, with a maximum charge of $175 per week, which is a fair structure for longer stays. A refundable damage deposit is also charged, though the hotel does not state the amount, so you should confirm this on booking.
There are real restrictions to weigh up here. Only select rooms are set aside for guests travelling with pets, so you must request one when booking. Dogs must weigh approximately 50 lbs or less, though guide dogs are exempt, and a maximum of two dogs is permitted per room. Dogs may not be left unattended in the guest room at any point, which rules out an evening away from your dog without alternative arrangements. There is no dedicated dog space, no dog wash area, no dog-walking service, and dogs are not allowed in the bar, restaurant or lounge beyond that limited patio. This stay suits an owner with a small, well behaved dog who plans to be at their dog's side throughout the visit and who values nearby green space over on-site dog amenities. Owners needing flexible room choice, larger dogs, or the option to leave their dog alone should look elsewhere.
