Park Hyatt Chicago Dog Friendly Review
Park Hyatt Chicago holds an acceptable C Roch Rank as a dog friendly stay, and it has some genuine strengths to recommend it. The hotel allows dogs in any room, and some travel industry media have gone so far as to designate it a dog friendly hotel. It is a long lasting partner of PAWS, the local pet charity, which speaks to a real commitment beyond marketing. Nearby there are a few pleasant green areas, a beach and a lake shore trail, with Lincoln Park itself around a 25 minute walk away, giving you and your dog plenty of options for stretching your legs.
Inside the room you will find a complimentary dog bed along with complimentary food and water bowls, and you can order a meal for your dog in advance through the hotel's website. The concierge team is on hand to offer recommended walking routes on arrival, and can also help arrange a dog sitter, a pet hotel, or an appointment at a grooming salon if you need one. Should anything go wrong, the hotel can provide you with an emergency vet clinic number. You may leave your dog alone in the room for a short period, provided he does not bark loudly while you are away. A dog fee of $150 USD covers stays of up to five nights, and the hotel's pet policy is shared with guests before they book.
Set against this are a few firm restrictions. Only dogs weighing 50 lbs and under are permitted, and a refundable damage deposit of $150 USD is charged, so larger dogs and owners without the deposit to spare should look elsewhere. The hotel does not provide a garden, a dedicated dog space, or a dog wash area, and dogs are not welcome in the bar, restaurant, lounge or on the terrace, so walks and downtime happen off site or in the room rather than around the property. There are no free treats, toys or a dog-walking service either. This stay suits an owner with a smaller, well behaved dog who is happy to rely on the concierge and nearby outdoor spaces rather than on-site dog amenities, while those travelling with larger dogs or wanting dog access to communal areas should consider somewhere else.
