Dogs are welcome in The Pins gastro bar, the lobby and the outdoor terrace. Restaurant access is at the restaurant manager's discretion, and the West dining room is generally off limits. Dogs aren't in the spa.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
