Lotus Honolulu at Diamond Head Dog Friendly Review
Lotus Honolulu at Diamond Head holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, though it does offer some genuine positives for travelling dog owners. All rooms are dog friendly, and your dog is welcome to join you on the lanai in your room. The hotel sits right across the street from Kapiolani Park, giving you a proper green space for walks within easy reach, and staff will share good walking routes with you on arrival. There is also a small patch of grass in the parking lot your dog can use, plus an outdoor shower that doubles as a handy dog wash area after a day out.
Day to day, the hotel keeps things simple. One water bowl is provided in the room, and your dog may be left alone there as long as he is properly secured in a crate or kennel while you are out. The hotel is upfront about its pet policy, sending it over before you book so there are no surprises. Expect a $50 per day pet fee for the stay, alongside a $100 security deposit (bringing the total deposit to $200), so it is worth budgeting for both when planning your trip. Beyond the lanai, the parking lot patch of grass and the park across the road are your main options for letting your dog stretch his legs.
There are real limits to weigh up. A 50 lb weight limit applies, so larger breeds will not be accommodated, and the refundable damage deposit adds to the upfront cost of the stay. The hotel does not provide a dog bed, toys, food or treats, there is no dog walking service or sitter arranged through the hotel, and no poop bags are supplied, so you will need to bring your own kit. Dogs are not allowed in the bar, restaurant or lounge, and there is no dedicated dog space on site. This stay suits an owner with a smaller, well mannered dog who is happy to self-cater on supplies and wants proximity to a real park rather than on-site extras; owners of larger dogs, or those wanting a fuller suite of amenities and services, should look elsewhere.

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