Dog WalkingHotel Bel-Air Dog Friendly Review
Hotel Bel-Air holds an excellent A Roch Rank, and it is easy to see why. Dogs are welcome in any room on the property, and the hotel goes to impressive lengths to make four-legged guests feel at home. On arrival your dog receives a custom dog bed, food and water bowls, and welcome treats. Beyond the room, the grounds themselves are a genuine highlight: guests and their companions can enjoy the gardens around the Front Lawn and Swan Lake, and a dedicated dog friendly Executive Courtyard sits near the Patisserie. With up to two dogs per room permitted and nearby green space at Holmby Park, there is plenty here for an owner who wants a luxury base with real outdoor access.
Day to day, the hotel offers a solid spread of practical services. Bellmen can provide dog walking, based on availability, at $35 per 30 minutes. The hotel can arrange a preferred groomer during your stay and can also arrange a third-party dog sitter. Poop bags are available on request, and the gift shop in the Patisserie sells a dog toy, while supplies last. Your dog is welcome in the outside sections of the Bar, which also functions as the Lounge, and in the Executive Courtyard. The hotel keeps an emergency vet number on hand and offers guidance on a three-mile walk and run route from the property, so you can settle into a good exercise routine straight away.
There are restrictions to note. A weight limit of 45 lbs applies, which rules out larger breeds. Dogs may not be left unattended in the room, so you will need to plan your time accordingly or arrange a sitter through the hotel. Dogs are not allowed in the restaurant, and there is no dog wash or shower area on site. That said, Hotel Bel-Air is an outstanding choice for owners of small to medium dogs who can keep their companion with them throughout the day. The gardens, courtyard and nearby Holmby Park give genuine outdoor variety. Owners of larger or heavier dogs, or those who need to leave their dog alone in the room regularly, should look elsewhere.
