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
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.
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.
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.
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!
