Hotel details and booking
Travel ideas

What kind of trip are you planning with your dog?

Beach and sea

On Sylt, in Timmendorfer Strand and in The Hague, each municipality has its own beach rules. Outside the bathing season the beaches are largely open to dogs; in summer there are designated dog beaches.

Walking and nature

Goslar is on the edge of the Harz, Hermannsburg by the Südheide nature park and Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance. Plan breaks in the shade and stops for water.

City break

Parks near the hotel help with the morning and evening walks, such as the Blaupark in Ulm or the lakeshore in Schwerin.

Business trip with your dog

Hotels such as PLAZA INN Stuttgart Airport Messe or Sure Hotel by Best Western Hilden-Düsseldorf are close to the motorway, which makes breaks on the journey there easier.

Planning

Planning a smooth stay with your dog

  1. Choose a hotel

    Check location, rooms and parking on the hotel page.

  2. Let the hotel know

    Tell the hotel before arrival that you are bringing a dog and ask about fees and house rules.

  3. Check entry rules

    For trips to Austria and the Netherlands your dog needs a microchip, a valid rabies vaccination and the EU pet passport; travellers from outside the EU should check additional requirements.

  4. On site

    Follow local leash and beach rules; each hotel decides whether dogs may enter the restaurant and breakfast room.
