InterContinental Mark Hopkins San Francisco Dog Friendly Review
InterContinental Mark Hopkins San Francisco holds an acceptable C Roch Rank for dog owners considering a stay here. Dogs are welcome throughout the hotel, meaning your dog can accompany you into the bar, the restaurant, the lounge and onto the terrace, as well as in most rooms. There is a garden dogs may use, and Hannington Park, a block from the hotel, offers a nearby green space for walks. A welcome treat greets arriving dogs, a small but pleasant touch, and the hotel shares its pet policy document before you book, so you know what to expect in advance.
Day to day, the hotel keeps things fairly simple. There is no damage deposit required, and the dog fee is a flat $50.00 for the stay, which is reasonable given the open access your dog enjoys across the property. You may leave your dog alone in the guest room for a short period, provided he is secured in a crate while unattended. Cats are also welcome, should your household travel with more than one kind of pet. Beyond these points, the hotel does not provide extras such as real food or water bowls, a dog bed, poop bags, or toys, so you will want to bring your own kit for the room.
The main restriction to plan around is a weight limit, with dogs required to weigh 50 lbs or less, which rules out larger breeds. The hotel also does not offer a dedicated dog space, a dog wash area, dog-walking services, grooming arrangements, or a sitter, and there is no record of an emergency vet number being kept on hand, so owners needing more structured support should look elsewhere. This stay suits an owner with a smaller, well mannered dog who is happy with a crate for short absences and wants a hotel where their dog can roam freely through public areas rather than one offering dedicated pet amenities or organised activities.
