Official Pet Policy

We never invent policies. Unknown details are marked “To be verified.”

Pet fee

No pet fee, on every source that addresses it — "Pets stay free" (Expedia), "Pets allowed (no fees)" (Reservations.com), "no additional fee" (BringFido), "at no extra charge" (Trip.com). That is the best-attested fact on this page and it is still not confirmed by the hotel, which publishes nothing about pets. Nothing published says whether cleaning or damage charges can be added; Four Seasons Toronto's own policy reserves the right to charge for both, so ask whether Montréal does. Get an all-in figure in writing for a named room type at booking. (Sources read August 3, 2026 — not confirmed with the hotel.)

Weight limit

Contested, and unresolved — this is the open question on the property. Four Seasons' own press page for this hotel, dated November 2019, says "Dogs and cats 25 pounds (11 kg) and under are welcome." Expedia, Travelocity, Reservations.com and BringFido say 20 lb, or 9 kg. Those four are not four sources: Expedia and Travelocity share one listing ID, Reservations.com resells the same feed, and 9 kg is 19.84 lb rather than 20 — one number converted and rounded, not independent confirmations. We provisionally credit the 25 lb figure because it is the only one that traces to Four Seasons and is specific to this property, but it is seven years old and the hotel's current site publishes no pet policy at all. Either figure leaves a very small dog far inside the limit; if yours is anywhere near 20 lb, get the number in writing. (Sources read August 3, 2026 — none confirmed with the hotel.)

Number of dogs

Not stated by any source with authority. BringFido says the hotel welcomes multiple pets and advises contacting a "Canine Concierge" to confirm before booking with more than one — that phrasing appears nowhere on Four Seasons' own pages and is not corroborated anywhere else. No cap is published. Ask, and ask whether a canine concierge actually exists. (Read August 3, 2026 — uncorroborated.)

Breed restrictions

None stated by any source. Four booking listings agree the hotel takes dogs and cats only, with BringFido adding that exotic pets are excluded; no breed is named anywhere. Note that Four Seasons Toronto's own policy extends to "other domesticated animals" — a sister property's wording, not this one's, and not carried across here. Service animals are described as welcome and exempt from fees and restrictions, though again by booking sites rather than by the hotel. (Read August 3, 2026 — not confirmed with the hotel.)

Can dogs be left alone?

Not stated — and this is the largest gap on the page. No source addresses unattended pets, an in-room sitter, or daycare: not the hotel, not Four Seasons' press pages, not any booking site. There is no answer here to rely on in either direction. Confirm directly before booking, because with the spa, the indoor pool, the fitness centre and both indoor Marcus rooms closed or presumed closed to a pet dog, this is the fact that decides how a day here is planned.

Dog amenities

Attested once, in 2019, and nowhere since. Four Seasons' own Montréal pet page of November 2019 described treats from the doormen on arrival, in-room water bowls, dog toys and a dog bed, and an inventory of dog jackets guests could borrow. None of this appears on the hotel's current website and none has been confirmed, so treat it as a lead to verify rather than as an amenity list. The dog jackets are the most interesting item at a very small dog's scale and the most worth asking about — the one published detail on this property that reads as small-dog-specific rather than dog-general. Ask too whether the bed and bowls are scaled to a five-pound dog, and whether a pet in-room dining menu exists here; Four Seasons Toronto publishes one and Montréal does not.

Dining / patio access

Indoors is closed to pet dogs at both venues, on the law rather than on preference — and Quebec's rule is stricter than Ontario's. Quebec keeps pet dogs out of indoor dining rooms with no exception of the kind Ontario has for low-risk food premises, so this is not something a venue can waive: the Marcus dining room and Marcus Lounge + Night Bar are both out, service animals aside. Outdoor terraces are a different question: Quebec now allows a dog in an outside service area, but only if the venue itself says yes — so a terrace welcome has to be given, never assumed. Marcus has a terrace, and neither the hotel nor the restaurant publishes anything about dogs, so ask Marcus directly rather than the hotel. Ask one more thing while you have them: the terrace sits on the third floor, so a dog has to get there through the building, and nobody has said what that route is. In-room dining runs 24 hours and is the option that needs nobody's permission.

Restricted areas

Not published — the hotel states no area restrictions at all, because it publishes no pet policy at all. Both indoor Marcus rooms are closed to pet dogs under Quebec law. Treat the spa, the skylit indoor swimming pool with its sauna and steam room, and the 24-hour fitness centre as closed until told otherwise: that is ordinary convention rather than any rule we have read. Lobby, corridor and elevator access is unconfirmed, as is anything about the valet and the de la Montagne entrance. Whether a dog may be left alone in the room is also unstated. One question worth asking that the hotel's own pages raise: there is a direct indoor connection to the Holt Renfrew Ogilvy department store, which would be a genuinely useful route in a Montréal winter — whether a dog may use it is unconfirmed, and the store's rule is the store's to state, so ask both.

Source / date verified

No pet policy is published on Four Seasons Hotel Montreal's own website — its home, services, accommodations, dining and FAQ pages were read on August 3, 2026 and none mentions pets. The figures on this page come from Four Seasons' own press page for this property, dated November 2019, and from four booking listings read the same day; where they disagree, both versions are shown above. Quebec's food-premises rule was read from the primary legal text on August 3, 2026, and the City of Montréal's dog rules and dog-run listing from the City's own pages. No contact has been made with the hotel or with Marcus: nothing here has been confirmed with a person, which is why the policy status remains "To be verified."
