My wife and daughter just spent two nights at the Park Hyatt Melbourne on their way home from the Sunshine Coast, they have a beautiful blonde Labrador named Mr Walker who hangs out in the foyer.


How cool is that?!?

That particular hotel is a favourite of mine.


Mr Walker is himself an ambassador of Guide Dogs Victoria, and a very effective one, I would say!

I personally find it a bit tacky when I stay there, just a novelty for the sake of it rather than serving any real purpose.

One day you may need a guide dog like Mr Walker.

Love it. Is he a fairly new resident? I don't recall meeting him on previous visits, but it has been a while. I will certainly look for him to say hello on my next stay in a few weeks.

Unsure how that justifies having one sitting in a 5 star hotel?

...and why not? It clearly works for the hotel and is a great initiative. Obviously the guests love it otherwise they wouldn't do it.

It's definitely a unique selling point, and a great banner showing and bringing attention to a cause that's important for the hotel.


Good for them!

Unless I find a dog hair in my food, it's definitely not a down point

Staying there in April next year when I take my wife to the Harry Potter play. Can anyone confirm if the breakfast they offer as part of the club room is continental or a hot breakfast. Their website doesn't seem to have much info on it.

Have stayed at PH Melbourne many times. I was last there about 6 months ago. Club breakfast is now downstairs in the restaurant, along with everyone else. It's an extensive buffet, with hot food prepared to order - which is great for the better quality, not so great for the wait at busy times. There may have been a small supplement for hot, I don't remember.

I agree with d platinum,no place for a dog.

Plenty of hotels in Europe and the States allow dogs.
