Hello everyone! So my pup, Snuffles, and I left Singapore on 15 June 2022 and we travelled around Europe and the UK for 13.5 months. We just flew home on Singapore Airlines on 2 August 2023 and I thought I would do up this post since I know how everyone wants to travel with their pups! Here’s everything you would potentially need to know, I think, and if you have any questions, you can DM me on Instagram @kimberleyyeo or drop me an email at kimberleyyeo@gmail.com
Snuffles and I flew with Singapore Airlines three times :
2) Business class from Singapore to Paris in June 2022
3) Suites from London to Singapore in August 2023 
Snuffles and I went to Tromso with the sole aim of catching the elusive Northern Lights/Aurora Borealis. We were too early for other winter activities such as dog-sledding or whale watching which was quite sad, but I guess we just wanted to make sure that we caught the lights! We were there 1-4 October 2022. It took me awhile to find a dog-friendly company that will accept Snuffles on the almost 10-hour tour.
Maison Astor might just be the best dog-friendly hotel that I’ve
stayed in on my entire 6 month holiday in Europe. Built by John Jacob
Astor IV, the 4 Star Curio Collection by Hilton property has an
impressively rich history which dates back to 1907. Housing rooms in 9
categories, and suites in 4, the opulent Maison Astor is located on a
quiet and safe street in the heart of Paris(8th arrondissement) between
the Opera and Champs-Elysees. The magnificent hotel is the perfect base
to explore popular attractions and visit luxury shopping streets
such as Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. Whether you're on a romantic
honeymoon, or a relaxing vacation with your family and pup, Maison Astor
promises a marvelous stay that you will remember for a long time to
come.
Sicily
is one of the most beautiful places that I've ever been to. Even though
I only had just over a week to spend here, and it was a mad rush
visiting 4 different cities, I was really glad that I added it to my
itinerary. Sicily is, no doubt, one of, if not the most dog-friendly
places in Europe. Sure, Germany. France and Switzerland are incredibly
dog-friendly but our four-legged babies aren't allowed in supermarkets.
In Sicily, the supermarkets even have trolleys with a designated area
for your pups to sit in. I was so amazed and impressed! I love that the
people here love dogs! Here are the four dog-friendly hotels or bed and
breakfast that we stayed at :
Now, after you've booked those air tickets for you and your pup out of the country, it's time to start looking at accommodation options! Here's a list of dog-friendly hotels and airbnbs that we stayed at in Europe! The highlighted ones are really good, and the rest are at least, decent! We did not include the ones that we did not fancy, and we also want to take this opportunity to thank our friends who hosted us!
I would say that all hotels, except the ones in Greece and those under the Petit Palace group, charge a pet fee that ranges from 8 euros - 35 euros (sometimes per night, sometimes per stay). Airbnbs typically do not charge an extra fee for pets, but I do recall the airbnb in Bilbao charging us an additional 5 euros per day that we had to pay in cash.
A breathtaking property cloaked in an old world charm, Hotel Le Cep welcomes discerning travellers who are looking for an unforgettable and luxurious stay in the pretty town of Beaune. The reception and lounge area boast of intricate touches that scream history and opulence at the same time. The unique family-run hotel is warm and cozy, and is home to historical 16th century courtyards, 32 suites, 29 rooms, and a townhouse which have names that pay homage to Burgundian villages or Grand Cru wines. Spruced up with beautiful antiques, the finest fabrics, and breathtaking furniture, the hotel aims to provide the highest level of service and attention.
Paris is one of the most dog-friendly cities in the whole of Europe. Dogs are warmly welcomed in restaurants, on public transports, and in many hotels. We stayed at a few dog-friendly hotels in Paris and here are our top 3 picks! Trust us, you will not be disappointed!
Paris is full of dog-friendly hotels, but few check all of these 3 important boxes : affordable, well-located, and modern. If these 3 factors are as important to you as they are to me, you will definitely be pleased with Hotel Bastille Spéria which is an outstanding hotel in Marais(4th arrondissement). The trendy Marais district is interspersed with museums and art galleries, chic boutiques, and tons of great restaurants. Just a 5-minute walk from Bastille Metro Station, Hotel Bastille Spéria is the closest hotel to Place de la Bastille. The lovely property sits on the corner of the quieter Rue de la Bastille, right next to the main road, and is unmissable.
Due to its proximity to Mount Etna and Catania, Taormina is one of the most popular destinations in the whole of Sicily. It's always packed with tourists and while there are plenty of accommodation options, Médousa Bistrot & Suites should be your top choice, especially if you're bringing your precious pup with you on vacation. The location of Medousa cannot be better — it sits literally on the main street, and is literally right across key attractions, and just minutes walk from all the popular sights.
Sicily is an underrated gem that’s not on the radar of many Singaporeans, but it really deserves to be.
Filled with surprises at every turn and corner, Sicily will dazzle you with its beauty, food, and wine. If you’re planning to visit, you definitely have to visit Palermo which is probably the most beautiful city in the whole of Sicily! Expect amazing architecture, unique street food, and unparalleled Sicilian hospitality.
Our visit to Palermo saw us staying 2 nights at Ai Tre Mercati, a bed and breakfast right smack in the thick of action. Located just a short walk away from the train station, the bed and breakfast sits above one of the busiest streets, right across popular attractions, and is surrounded by plenty of food options
The location is unbeatable — it’s safe, easily accessible and within walking distance of all major landmarks.
Sicily is incredibly dog-friendly, and I have no doubt that your pup will enjoy his or her time here as well!
Mykonos Soul Suites in Mykonos quite frankly took my breath away. It is, no doubt, one of the best hotels that I've stayed at in my entire life. I knew I was in for a treat before I got there, but I did not expect to be swept off my feet the moment I stepped into the luxurious property! It was just truly remarkable. Best part? It's exceptionally dog-friendly! So, if you're planning a vacation to Mykonos with your pup, look no further, because you won't find a dog-friendly hotel better than Mykonos Soul Suites.
Located just one train stop away from Kobenhavn H(Copenhagen Central Station), Copenhagen Island Hotel is a modern and stylish dog-friendly hotel with 326 rooms. The stunning 4-star hotel sees high occupancy all year round, and it's no surprise at all, considering how well-located and pretty the property is. The hotel sits right next to Fisketorvet Copenhagen Mall so you don’t have to worry about not being to procure any essentials, or about having to wander too far for a light snack or good meal. There’s even a movie theatre should you be up for a late night show!
Deskopolitan House must be the most unique accommodation I have ever stayed in.
Nestled
at the end of an interior courtyard with a garden, in the heart of
Deskopolitan Voltaire, Deskopolitan House invites guests to stay, and play. There are 14 fully-equipped "Nests" in the compound, along with a
luxurious co-working space that houses a cafe and opulent lounge area, a restaurant,
gym, sports studios, concierge, barber shop, and nursery associative.
Best part? They love and welcome your furry pals, and ensure that your
pups have a great stay too!
Snagging a stay here means you have access to the cafe and lounge in the co-working space — this exclusive opportunity to join a community of insiders and have access to all of their services might just be what's most unique about Deskopolitan House. You can develop your ideas, co-create, play sports and above all, meet new minds. Every detail has been carefully thought of to provide guests with a truly memorable and comfortable stay. You can live, work, and play right here, all in one place!
