Fairmont Hotels & Resorts Pet Policy Overview

Fairmont properties set their own pet rules. Across official Fairmont hotel pages, dog-friendly policies range from free stays at some hotels to nightly or per-stay fees at others, with different size limits and room rules.

Pet Fee Varies by property: free at Fairmont Empress; $40/night at Fairmont Kea Lani; $50-$60 per stay at some hotels; up to $50 CAD per pet per day or $60/night at others

Weight Limit Varies widely: some hotels allow all sizes, while others limit pets to 20 lbs or 40 lbs

Number of Pets Allowed Often 1-2 pets depending on property; some hotels explicitly allow up to 2 pets, while others do not publish a chain-standard limit

Deposit Required No standard chain-wide pet deposit found; most reviewed Fairmont properties list fees instead of a deposit, though damage charges may apply

Breed Restrictions No breed restrictions were stated on the reviewed official Fairmont property pages

Pet Types Accepted Usually dogs; some properties also accept cats. Policies are property-specific

Unattended Pet Rule Common rule across properties: pets must not be left unattended in the room unless the hotel specifically permits crating or pet-sitting arrangements

Common Area Rules Leash or carrier required in public areas; pets are typically not allowed in restaurants, bars, pools, spas, or certain restricted floors

Because Fairmont operates with property-level pet policies, travelers should confirm the exact hotel's rules before arrival. Official Fairmont pages show meaningful differences in fees, size limits, pet types accepted, and amenities such as beds, bowls, treats, walking maps, or concierge-arranged pet sitting.

Tips for Staying at Fairmont Hotels & Resorts with Your Dog

Book carefully because Fairmont pet rules are set by each hotel, not one universal chain policy. Before you reserve, confirm the exact pet fee, any size limit, and whether your room type is eligible for dogs. At check-in, expect to disclose that you are traveling with a pet and, at some properties, sign a pet waiver or disclaimer. During your stay, keep your dog leashed or in a carrier in common areas and assume restaurants, bars, pools, spas, and some specialty floors are off-limits unless the hotel says otherwise. Many Fairmont properties do not allow dogs to be left alone in the room, so ask in advance whether crating is allowed or whether concierge can arrange pet sitting. It is also smart to request housekeeping timing around your dog's schedule, since some hotels will only service the room when the pet is out. If your dog needs extras, some Fairmont hotels offer amenities like beds, bowls, treats, walking maps, or pet-sitting help, but these perks are not standard across the brand.
