The World's Best Dog-Friendly Hotels In 2025

Welcome to our guide to the world’s best dog-friendly hotels—a deep dive into the hotels that set the gold standard for canine hospitality and inclusivity. These hotels earned their place through a rigorous certification process that examines every detail of their services, amenities, facilities, surroundings, and access levels, creating a complete and accurate picture of their dog-friendly position.

We then compared them side by side with over a thousand other certified hotels, using a data-driven approach that ensures a fair and objective ranking.
