Top 10 Dog-Friendly Hotels in Canada

Hotels across Canada that genuinely welcome dogs — with pet menus, beds, and no surprise weight limits.

"Pet-friendly" can mean anything from a $150 cleaning fee to an actual dog bed turned down for your pup. This list features hotels with a documented, generous policy — but always re-confirm pet fees, weight limits, and breed restrictions at booking.

1. Fairmont Hotels (national)

The Fairmont's Canine Ambassador program is the gold standard — most properties welcome dogs with beds, bowls, and treats on arrival.

2. Kimpton Saint George (Toronto)

No size, weight, or breed restriction; no pet fee.

3. The Drake Hotel (Toronto, Drake Devonshire, Drake Motor Inn)

Dog-welcoming across all properties.

4. Hotel Le Germain (multiple)

Pet-friendly across most Canadian locations; pet menu at select properties.

5. Loden Hotel (Vancouver)

Welcomes dogs of all sizes; pet amenities on request.

6. Opus Hotel (Vancouver)

No weight limit; treats and walking maps at check-in.

7. The Sutton Place Hotels (Vancouver, Edmonton, Halifax)

Reliable dog program across properties.

8. Hotel Arts (Calgary)

Welcomes dogs with a modest fee; downtown patio access.

9. Sparkling Hill Resort (Okanagan, BC)

Surprisingly dog-friendly given its spa focus; designated wing for guests with dogs.

10. Auberge Saint-Antoine (Old Québec)

A boutique heritage hotel with a genuinely warm welcome for dogs.

Before you book

  • Ask about pet fees per night vs per stay.
  • Confirm whether dogs can be left unattended in the room (most say no).
  • Request a ground-floor or quiet-corridor room.
