Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
The Royal Sonesta Chicago River North, the former Hotel Palomar, is a design hotel with World's Fair-inspired rooms and an indoor heated pool. It runs Sonesta PAWS with no weight or breed limit for dogs. It suits dog travellers who value an on-site grassy pet relief area, which is rare downtown. Larger dogs are welcome here.
