Kimpton Margot Sydney

The Kimpton Margot Sydney is a 1939 Art Deco hotel in a restored former Water Board headquarters at 339 Pitt Street, and it runs one of the most generous dog policies of any CBD hotel: no size, weight or breed limits, and no pet fee at all. If a weight cap has ruled you out of city stays before, start here.

Dogs at the Kimpton Margot Sydney

Kimpton's brand-wide open policy applies: dogs and other pets stay free, with no extra charge, cleaning fee or deposit, and the working rule of thumb is if it fits in the elevator, it can stay. The hotel backs it up with actual gear rather than fine print: a plush pet bed on loan, food and water bowls with waterproof mats, a pet welcome amenity, door hangers so staff know a dog is resting in the room, courtesy waste bags, and a concierge list of dog-friendly parks, cafes and boutiques nearby. Staff greet pets by name. It is genuinely unusual to find no fee and no size cap together, so confirm the policy holds for your dates when booking.

The place

The heritage bones are real: scagliola pillars, high ceilings and original hallway tiling, now paired with spacious modern rooms. Level 7 has the Harper Rooftop Bar, an open-air pool bar with a pink mosaic bar and yellow booths, and the hotel runs its signature Evening Social Hour with a hosted bar cart in the lobby. Guests regularly single out the friendly staff, which matters when your dog is the one being greeted.

Getting there and location

The hotel sits on the edge of the CBD's Midtown precinct near World Square, with light rail and Town Hall station within easy walking distance, so most of the city is reachable without a car. Hyde Park is a short stroll away for an on-leash walk, and Kings Cross is five to ten minutes east by train or taxi.

Close by with the dogs

For green space, Cook + Phillip Park is the closest listed dog-friendly park, and Margot Espresso is a nearby coffee stop. Other CBD stays that take dogs include Ace Hotel Sydney and Veriu Central if you are comparing. More options are on the Sydney destination page and in the NSW stays index.
