Best Pet-Friendly Hotels Around the Globe

Previously, pet lovers found planning travel with their pet somewhat difficult because we didn’t want to leave our beloved furry-companion behind. Usually, we found ourselves barking up the wrong tree, because even those hotels that seemingly did accommodate pets, didn’t have specific experiences geared towards our dogs. As we demand a world where dogs are catered to and welcomed as much as their humans, we find more and more unique ways of including them in our joyful experiences. And we do this because a dog is not just a pet to most of us, it’s our baby, our companion, a member of our family and so much in between.

So it’s no surprise to say that the hotel industry quickly caught on to that. Thanks to the rise in pet adoption over the past few years, hotels around the world have rolled over and get that we want our pets to indulge in our travels, and enjoy them just as much as we do. In this guide, Pagerie, the ultra-luxury fashion house for pets, rounds up the best pet-friendly hotels around the world.

What is a dog friendly hotel?

A dog-friendly hotel is one which accommodates your pet and welcomes them wholeheartedly. These hotels allow dogs to stay in the same room as you. Pet parents will want to find hotels that have the best pet experiences, but it’s also good to understand their policies prior to booking. The last thing anyone wants is to arrive and then terrier-self up about the nitty-gritty details! A little digging will reveal that some hotels will have pet size limits, breed restrictions or the number of dogs you are allowed to bring with you per room reservation.

Hotels are upping their pet-welcoming game

Pagerie have discovered pet-friendly hotels around the world, for stress-free holiday planning. There’s a wide array of choices, from some offering five-star gastronomy pet menus to lavish pet photoshoots. Here, Pagerie rounds up five pioneering accommodations that will treat our furry family members like royalty.

Here is the ultimate list of Pagerie’s recommended pet-friendly hotels around the globe:

01 — LE BRISTOL IN PARIS IS PURRFECTLY PET-FRIENDLY

Is your pet a true king or queen? Then look no further: Pet owners will be delighted to hear Le Bristol will greet four-legged guests in true regal style at this ultra-decadent icon of Parisian luxury on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, which was exquisitely renovated in 2018. Overnight pet-guests at the 1925 'Palace' are pampered with homemade cookies, lavish beds, a set of bowls, and mini-carpets embroidered with their names.

As if that isn’t enough to make you want to grab your passport, gourmet pet menus cater to your pet’s culinary tastes, with fresh local produce-based dishes such as steamed fish and scrumptious carrots. Dog walking services keep our canine companions entertained while owners enjoy the retro-style indoor rooftop pool and La Prairie spa. You’ll also find Le Bristol's resident Burmese cat Fa-Raon is frequently seen prowling the orange-blossom-scented gardens.

Address: 112 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, 75008 Paris, France

02 — ROSEWOOD HONG KONG

Pet pampering at Hong Kong's famously luxe hotels is on the rise, and Kowloon's five-star Tony Chi-designed Rosewood Hong Kong Hotel, which opened in 2019, is peaking our interests for all the right reasons.

They have a Four-Legged Friends programme, which includes owner-and-pet yoga, a pet-afternoon tea in the room, and ProVet chew toys, as well as beds, treats, and litter trays. What more can we ask for as devoted pet owners dutifully serving our royal canines?

Delectable gourmet menus cater to cats and dogs (such as a four-rice risotto with salmon). They even have local area guides highlighting pet-friendly parks and restaurants, and every booking benefits Hong Kong's SPCA. While your pets enjoy training, grooming, and photoshoots, courtesy of the services available to you as a guest, you can relax in the infinity pool and Asaya spa and take in the breathtaking Victoria Harbour views.

Address: Rosewood Hong Kong No18, Salisbury Rd, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong

03 — THE BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL

We’re mutts about this hotel and we’re sure you’ll be too! If you’re on the prowl for a little luxury for you and your bestie, then it’s time to check in at The Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles.

Denzel Washington wasn’t wrong when he suggested that "everyone in Los Angeles is a star." Because now, even pets are treated like stars at this swanky pet-friendly hotel. The Beverly Hills Hotel is a haven for doggy divas in true VIP Hollywood style.

Reserve a stay inside one of the bungalows that once housed Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe. Each morning, freshly baked, personalised doggie treats from the bakery will be delivered to your room, while the hotel's Canine Connoisseur programme will keep even the most distracted of dogs completely content.

Address: 9641 Sunset Boulevard Beverly Hills Los Angeles, CA 90210

04 — KIMPTON HOTEL MONACO

Kimpton's website states, “Any friend of yours is a friend of ours, even the four-legged ones.” They welcome your furry, feathered, or feline friends in a luxurious fashion. Dogs get treated to food and water bowls, a pet bed, a bottle of spring water, treats, and disposable pickup bags.

Your pampered pup can demand grilled hamburgers, beef stew, and pup popsicles, which are all available in the room-service menu.

Address: 1101 4th Avenue Seattle, WA 98101

05 — THE LONDON WEST HOLLYWOOD

The London West Hollywood, situated in Beverly Hills of Los Angeles, greets guests with their own two adorable bulldogs, Winston and Churchill. The hotel's official mascots live in The London West Hollywood full-time. Every day, guests can meet and play with the dogs at one of the popular hangout sites, Hampton Court, or on the relaxing rooftop pool.

And of course, guests are welcome to bring their own dog. They allow one dog per room for the duration of your hotel stay - and a pet sitter or dog walker can be arranged in advance. Executive Chef Anthony Keene's "Winston menu" includes dog-friendly culinary options such as "the London pooch," a dry food menu, and doggie bag treats.

To complement a pawsh stay in one of the aforementioned hotels, it goes without saying that you’ll need just as pawsh accessories to make your outings uber-comfortable. We bring you a stylish selection of our most popular objects to pack with you on your holidays below.

Address: 1020 North San Vincente Bouelvard, West Hollywood, CA 90069

What accessories should you bring to a pet-friendly hotel?

Some dogs will prefer their creature comforts. While these luxury pet-friendly hotels listed provide pet bowls, treats and pet beds, sometimes bringing their familiar objects might put your pet at ease in an unfamiliar setting.

Furthermore, dogs should always be kept on a leash when walking through the hotel's common areas, not to mention when walking through the parking lot. And it goes without saying, it’s vital to always clean up after your pet. But now you can do so in style with The Pochette as waste bags can be neatly tucked away in this chic zipped leather pochette, ready to be swiftly extracted at a moment’s notice.
