Dog WalkingMandarin Oriental, Boston Dog Friendly Review
Mandarin Oriental, Boston holds an acceptable C Roch Rank, a measured grade for a luxury hotel that looks after a dog well inside its own limits. Two dogs may share most rooms, within a size limit of around forty pounds, for a one hundred and fifty dollar cleaning fee. Your dog is welcome in the lounge, and a garden and the Back Bay green spaces sit close by for walks. In central Boston it is a polished, dog-aware base for a medium dog.
The room comes with a dog bed, bowls and a treat, and unusually the hotel runs a dog-walking service, so a full day out need not leave the dog stranded in the room. The lounge is open to dogs, and the garden and nearby parks give somewhere proper to walk, with the concierge glad to fit the walk around your day. For a hotel at this level the in-room care is generous and the walking service a genuine plus that most of its rivals do not match.
Dogs are not welcome in the bar or restaurants, so dining together is limited, and beyond the walking service the wider extras are fairly standard for a hotel of this class. Against a walking service and a full in-room welcome, the one-time fee is fair for a hotel of this class and saves nightly charges stacking up. Mandarin Oriental suits a medium, settled dog and an owner who wants luxury with real day-time dog support and is content to dine apart.
Roch Score: 25/77. Meets the Roch Dog Friendly Standard. This hotel has been evaluated, ranked and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world’s first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry. We gathered data directly from the hotel and benchmarked it against thousands of other hotels to accurately and fairly derive its rank.
