A boutique hotel group has announced plans to offer free accommodations for pets at all its properties starting in 2026. The initiative is set to apply to both dogs and cats, allowing guests to bring their pets at no additional charge.
Policy Details and Implementation
The company stated that the new policy will be implemented across its entire portfolio of hotels. According to the announcement, guests will be able to book rooms for themselves and their pets without incurring extra fees for animal companions. This measure is intended to simplify travel arrangements for pet owners and remove financial barriers associated with bringing pets along.
Guest Experience and Amenities
In addition to waiving pet fees, the hotel brand will provide amenities tailored for animals. These include pet beds, food and water bowls, and treats, which will be available in guest rooms upon request. The company indicated that its staff will receive training to ensure a comfortable stay for both pets and their owners.
Industry Context
Several hotel chains have introduced pet-friendly policies in recent years, but most continue to charge additional fees for animal guests. The boutique brand’s decision to eliminate these charges positions it among a small number of hospitality companies offering complimentary pet stays. Industry analysts note that pet travel has become increasingly popular, with more travelers seeking accommodations that cater to their animals.
Company Statement
A spokesperson for the hotel group commented, “We recognize that pets are part of the family, and we want to make it easier for our guests to travel with their animal companions. By removing pet fees, we hope to create a more inclusive and welcoming environment at all our hotels.”
Availability and Booking Information
The complimentary pet stay policy is scheduled to take effect in January 2026. Guests will be able to make reservations through the company’s website and select the option to include pets during the booking process.
