Condition details
Pet policy: The official IHG FAQ states 'We invite you to bring your pet no matter their size, weight, or breed, all at no extra charge. If your pet fits through the door, we will welcome them in. Up to one pet per person can stay. Available from our 1 King Essential Walk in Shower or above.' This means two guests can bring two pets in the same room, with no fee. Book a 1 King Essential Walk-in Shower or higher room type — basic rooms may not be pet-designated. For larger pets (11kg or bigger), the Essential Corner King, Premium King, or Suite room types are specifically recommended. Pets may dine with you at the hotel's pet-friendly restaurants. Pets cannot be left unattended in rooms. 'No Paw Left Behind' program provides additional pet-friendly amenities.
