There are a number of dog-friendly hotels and bars in Chicago . . . in case you didn't know that already.

No, I don't know the names of any of those, but I'd like to -- if you will share.

I've stayed in a hotel with my dog before, but it was during a move and it was only a few days. Wisconsin is not too friendly about dogs -- they cannot be in a place where food is served, or so I'm told. We had a catered lunch at a Dog Rescue society function I attended in December, and all the dogs had to go sit in the cars when lunch was served. And it was COLD outside!

I tried to find the article I was thinking of on metromix.com and failed. I recall that it had a listing of bars that allow dogs indoors. Nonetheless, a search at that website under "dog friendly" brings-up a few interesting hits.

My understanding is that Chicago ordinances do not prohibit a dog accompanying its owner at an outdoor cafe, leaving it to the individual establishment to set its own policy. A web search under "dog friendly chicago" is helpful, but beware that the information may be outdated.

As for hotels, I recommend the Palmer House or the Hotel Monaco (both are in the Loop). Be sure to cash-in your Krugerrands before you go. Again, beware . . . most dog-friendly hotels only allow small dogs. Call to verify.
