The ideal family holiday has to include everyone. That means not leaving your dog behind. If you travel with dogs, you’ll know that it’s not always easy. There are flights and pet travel insurance to consider along with a long list of dog travel products to pack.
Finding accommodation that not only accepts dogs but is also pet-friendly can be a big challenge. So, we’ve compiled a list of our firm favourites to wave you on your way.
Start packing those luxury pet products as we give you the lowdown on Australia’s top 5 Pet-Friendly Hotels.
1. The Langham, Sydney
If you’re going to travel you may as well do it in style. This hotel takes doggie holidays to a reassuring extreme. Not only are dogs welcome, the Langham positively encourages them to visit with a string of incentives. At the Langham, “Stay!” means packages that include:
- Breakfast in bed for you and your pet
- Pet Afternoon Tea and a Pawesome Pet gift bag on arrival
There’s even the option to hold a special birthday party for your dog. So, make sure you take a Plush Puppie Petites Pack of your dog’s favourite products so that they look their best for the big day. It’s also the perfect birthday gift.
2. W. Brisbane
Locations don’t get much more central than this. What we love about this hotel is the attention to detail when it comes to making your dog feel at home.
For example, there’s even a “Pet In Room” door sign to alert the cleaning staff along with turndown treats just for your furry kind.
There are comfy dog beds available as well as water and food bowls. The hotel provides pet toys and treats along with lots of local pet information.
3. Pier One Sydney Harbour
Set almost underneath the Harbour Bridge, this hotel offers some of the best suites for guests with dogs. These are the Waterside rooms, looking directly out onto the wharf.
You can bring up to 2 pets with you and there’s no weight limit. The hotel provides dog beds, food and water bowls. It will even stock your mini bar with dog-friendly snacks on request.
To save space when you’re packing, check out our Petites Pack. It’s ideal for travelling and a great opportunity to spoil your dog with a new product you may not have tried before.
The main bar where you’ll take breakfast or enjoy an afternoon cocktail has an extensive outdoor seating area so that you can have your dog by your side at all times.
