The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto

The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto scored a disappointing D Roch Rank. While the name might suggest luxury, the dog-friendly offerings here are underwhelming. Only a few rooms welcome dogs, so booking ahead is a must. Dogs are restricted to rooms, with no access to the bar, restaurant, or public areas, which can be a real hassle if you want to enjoy the hotel's amenities without leaving your furry friend behind. The hotel charges a steep $150 CAD per stay for dogs, which feels excessive given the lack of provided amenities like beds or bowls. Plus, there's a weight limit of 30 pounds, excluding popular breeds like Labradors. This restriction significantly limits the hotel's appeal to dog owners. On the plus side, dogs can be left alone in rooms, offering some flexibility for owners to explore the city. Nearby, there are public green spaces, which is a saving grace for those necessary walks. The hotel does offer guidance on dog walk routes and can arrange dog-walking services, which is a big deal for busy travelers. However, the absence of a dedicated dog space or garden on-site is a letdown. In summary, while The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto might be a top choice for human guests, its dog-friendly features leave much to be desired. The high fees and restrictive policies make it a less attractive option for dog owners seeking a truly welcoming experience.
