Pup Strolls Around the Back Bay

Traveling with your pooch can seem a little daunting, especially when you are headed to a city. But fear not, we know getting your four-legged friend outside is the key to happiness for you and your pet. Here are a few spots that are close to The Lenox to take your dog.

Commonwealth Avenue Mall

The closest spot to the hotel to get outside for a walk. Comm Ave, located just two blocks north of the hotel, has a lovely park and path running in between the car lanes that is perfect for a city stroll. You and you companion might think you are on a Parisian Boulevard walking on this historic path.

Carleton Court at Ink Block

This is a fully paved fenced in area for pooches to run around off leash. Just a 7-10 minute walk from the hotel off the Southwest corridor heading towards the South End. Ink Block is one of the newest developments in the city so there it’s worth the stroll.

Peters Park

A bit further into the South End is Peters park at 1205 Washington Street. This is a popular spot for the pooches and your dog will be sure to make a friend or two! Right in the middle of the bustling south end, one of Boston’s prettiest neighborhoods.

After all that walking I’m sure your pup will want a treat or a souvenir. Here are a few of my favorite spots:
Polka Dog Bakery on 256 Shawmut Ave in the South End
Fish & Bone at 217 Newbury St in the Back Bay
Pawsh Dog Boutique on 31 Gloucester St in the Back Bay
Jack’s Snacks in our very own lobby Lenox Mercantile!
