Waldorf Astoria Chicago

Gold Coast tower where a small dog can be left in the room

Book this stay

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A Beaux-Arts-inspired tower just off the Magnificent Mile in the Gold Coast, with an indoor pool, spa and the Brass Tack restaurant. It suits luxury travellers with a small, well-behaved dog who value being able to leave the room. The distinctive detail for dog owners is that well-behaved dogs may be left unattended, though housekeeping will not service a room with an uncrated dog.

Why it's in the collection

The Gold Coast has wide, quiet sidewalks and a dog park about a block away, with Washington Square Park close by for a leg-stretch. The on-leash Lakefront Trail and Oak Street Beach are a short walk east.

Small dogs only, 30 lb (14 kg) per Hilton, and fee and weight terms vary by channel so confirm directly with the hotel.

Dogs are welcome in the lobby and lounge on a leash, and there is cafe-style outdoor seating where a dog can sit alongside you. Housekeeping will not service a room unless the dog is crated. Pet-friendly rooms only. No cats.

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