            Best Dog-Friendly Hotels in Melbourne

Taking pictures here and there. Visiting museum after museum. Tasting varieties of food from one street to another.

These are the regular experiences of tourists and residents alike in Victoria’s capital, making you realise that when you visit a city as huge as Melbourne, a day won’t be enough to explore all its natural jewels and architectural wonders. 

You have the Royal Botanic Gardens and the Melbourne Zoo for the ultimate trip to nature, Victoria's State Library and the National Gallery to immerse in the state’s cultural heritage, and even unique activities, like shark diving and riding a hot air balloon over Melbourne CBD, to enjoy.

Fortunately, Melbourne also houses the most luxurious and accommodating hotels in entire Australia, ensuring you can rest comfortably after days of touring around the city. But, strangely, you still feel like something’s missing, something soft and furry— Aha! Buddy's not here to rest and enjoy the view with you. Sigh.

What’s the use of having a luxurious place to stay in when all you can think of is your fur baby left at home alone? 

Well, there’s no need to be torn about this now since Melbourne is also home to hotels with suites meant to be enjoyed by humans and their dogs.

Read on and explore these dog-friendly hotels in Melbourne for your future trip to the world’s friendliest city (quite fitting, right?)!

1. QT Melbourne

Starting our list with QT for our cuties!

Sitting on Russell Street, QT Hotels is known for its proximity to attractions like the National Gallery and Flinders Street Station, making it a great and convenient place to stay in. What most people don’t know is that they’re also pawssionate about pets.

They adore dogs so much that they’ve developed Pup Yeah! Rooms. These are rooms tailored to accommodate you and your furry friend. These include a cute poochie mini bar with a dinner menu exclusive to your dog and designer bedding for your pup’s best sleep yet.

If you’re worried about your dog’s barking disturbing the neighbours or the mess they might cause in the room, QT has a solution for all these concerns.

The hotel deploys a housekeeping team daily for a cleaning fee of $150, hence keeping the place free from smell and sparkly clean. Plus, They’re also linked with local groomers for your pup’s pupQ treatment!

As for barking problems, QT will gladly recommend nearby spaces for walking. But dogs must always be on a leash in public spaces and never be left alone in rooms.

While they would love to book dogs of all sizes, for now, they could only accommodate one dog weighing 20 kg or under per owner to maintain the hotel’s service quality. 

So, what are you waiting for? Go matchy-matchy with your dog as you book your way to QT’s dog-friendly services
