Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid Dog Friendly Review
Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, which is a shame given some genuine strengths for dog owners. Dogs are welcome on the terrace and in the Palm Court lounge, giving you places to sit with your dog beyond the bedroom. The hotel sits surrounded by green spaces and is less than ten minutes' walk from El Parque del Retiro, and the concierge team is happy to recommend nearby parks and green areas for walks with your dog.
In the room, Guest Relations can provide a dog bed for your stay. Most rooms are dog friendly, though dogs of a certain size require a Palm Court Suite or a higher category. No damage deposit is required, which removes one worry from the booking. Beyond the room, your dog is welcome on the terrace and in the Palm Court lounge, and the concierge can point you toward suitable parks and green areas nearby for your walks together.
There are real restrictions to weigh up. A weight limit of 24 lbs applies, which rules this out as a stay for larger dogs. Dogs may not be left alone in the room, and if they are, housekeeping will not service it while unsupervised, so your plans will need to work around your dog's presence throughout the day. The hotel does not provide a garden for dogs to use, a dedicated dog space, or a dog wash area, and dogs are not allowed in the bar or restaurant. This stay suits an owner with a small, calm dog who wants elegant communal spaces and easy access to green walking routes, and who does not need to leave their dog unattended. Owners of larger dogs, or those needing a dog to stay alone in the room, 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.
