Pet-friendly hotels

These properties accept pets. Almost none of them accept every pet under every condition: there is usually a weight limit, a maximum number of animals per room, and a supplement per night. Some allow dogs in the room but not in the restaurant or the pool area, which shapes your whole day.

Before you book, check

• The supplement, and whether it is per night or per stay. The difference over a week is real money.
• Weight and size limits, and whether more than one animal is allowed.
• Whether your pet may be left alone in the room. Many properties forbid it outright, which rules out a day of sightseeing.
• Which areas are open to animals: breakfast room, terrace, lift, garden.

Worth it for: Trips where boarding the animal costs as much as the room, and long stays where leaving it behind is not reasonable.
