No Weight LimitFairmont San Francisco Dog Friendly Review
Fairmont San Francisco holds an acceptable C Roch Rank, and on Nob Hill it offers more for a dog than its grand public rooms suggest. Dogs are welcome on the terrace and in the hotel's rooftop garden, which is open around the clock, and Huntington Park is a block away for a proper walk. All rooms take dogs, there is no weight or size limit, and up to two dogs may share a room. The pet policy is published on the hotel's website, so you can read the terms before you book.
A dog bed can be provided on request, and the hotel will supply a water bowl, though it does not sell dog food, so bring your own. The fee is $100, and there is no damage deposit for the dog, although the hotel takes its usual incidental hold and will charge for any damage found. That is a fair price for the room and the garden, though little else is laid on beyond them.
Dogs are not allowed into the restaurants, bar or lounge, and your dog may not be left alone in the room, so dinner means eating in or making other arrangements. There are no treats, toys, poop bags, grooming or walking service, and the concierge can only direct you to an outside company for care. This suits an owner who wants a central base with a garden on the roof and a park on the doorstep, and who keeps the dog close at all times.

This hotel has been evaluated, ranked and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world’s first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry.
