Waldorf Astoria Chicago holds a respectable B Roch Rank. This hotel offers a decent experience for dog owners, but there are some caveats to consider. While dogs can stay in the room alone, the housekeeping team won't service rooms with uncrated dogs, which could be a hassle if you're planning a long day out. The $150 per stay fee is on the steep side, especially since the hotel doesn't provide dog beds or food bowls, so be prepared to bring your own essentials.
The hotel is quite restrictive with a weight limit of 35 lbs, which excludes many popular breeds like Labradors. This limitation significantly narrows the scope of dog-friendliness. On the plus side, dogs are welcome in the lounge and public areas, and there's a nearby park just two blocks away, which is a convenient spot for walks. The staff is happy to provide guidance on dog walk routes, a nice touch for those unfamiliar with the area.
While the hotel doesn't offer a dedicated dog space or garden, they do provide poop bags and can arrange dog-walking services, adding some flexibility to your stay. However, the lack of dog-friendly amenities like treats or toys is noticeable. Overall, the Waldorf Astoria Chicago offers a decent stay for smaller dogs, but the high fee and weight restrictions might make it less appealing for some dog owners.
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 in order to fairly derive its rank.
