To slightly borrow a beloved saying from the Olive Garden, when you’re here in Paris, your pets are family.

That extends to the city’s top hotels, which often go above and beyond to ensure that both you and your pets experience luxury and comfort. From chic boutique hotels offering pet beds and gourmet treats to grand accommodations with on-site pet-sitting and walking services, these hotels make exploring Paris with your dog or cat a breeze.

Dash and I have stayed at all of the following establishments and can vouch each one is as friendly (if not more friendly) to dogs as they are to human guests. That said, each hotel has different policies, so it’s good to check with the hotel website (and perhaps email the reservation desk) for any related fees, weight restrictions, etc. (Just because they’re pet friendly doesn’t mean they don’t charge a pet fee.)

Hôtel Barrière Le Fouquet's Paris

Hôtel Barrière Le Fouquet's Paris offers a pet-friendly environment that combines convenience with luxury. While pets are allowed in most areas of the hotel, they must be kept on a leash when in public spaces, ensuring a pleasant experience for all guests. Additionally, the hotel's central location near the Champs-Élysées and the Seine provides easy access to outdoor spaces where pets (and humans) can stretch their legs. Not to mention there are plenty of restaurants with outdoor seating in the area so you can eat and people watch together.

Hôtel Plaza Athénée, Paris

At the Hôtel Plaza Athénée in Paris, pets are welcome—up to two small dogs for a daily fee of €40. Dog beds and bowls can easily be provided. And the hotel’s prime location on Avenue Montaigne means that guests can easily take their pets on a stroll through some of Paris's most beautiful streets or along the nearby Seine River.

Le Meurice, Paris

Small dogs—up to two per guest room/suite—are welcome here for a daily fee of €35. Of course, dog bowls and beds are available so no need to pack those here either. And you’re right across the street from the Tuileries Gardens, one of the most historic parks in Paris. There is an off-leash section near the Louvre, as well, where dogs can frolic morning and night.

Le Royal Monceau Raffles Paris

Pets up to 10 kg (approximately 22 lbs.) are welcome in designated rooms for no additional fee. Both dogs and cats are welcome, and litter boxes are even available. Service animals are also always welcome. And you can sit with your dogs—inside the hotel lobby café or outside in the interior courtyard—for coffee and drinks service. The server kindly brought Dash a dog bowl, naturally with “Le Royal Monceau” embossed in the center. (And for taking your dog on a walk, you can get some memorable Instagram shots in front of the Arc de Triomphe in one direction and the local favorite park, Parc Monceau, in the other direction.)

Shangri-La, Paris

Pets are warmly welcomed at the hotel, with a limit of one pet up to 10 kg (22 lbs) per room at no additional charge. Pets must be kept on a leash and supervised at all times in common areas. When visiting the bar or restaurants, pets should be carried in a bag. A bowl and dog bed can be provided, as well. While a bit far from most of the parks, taking an early morning stroll while walking your dog might be the best strategy for visiting tourist-heavy Trocadero (with unobstructed views of the Eiffel Tower) when it is least crowded. You can also walk aimlessly and stroll through the winding streets of the upscale Passy neighborhood nearby as well.

SO/Paris

One of the newest players on the luxury hotel scene in Paris, dogs are welcome an additional fee of €50 per stay. Dogs must be kept on a leash or in a carrier while in public areas of the hotel, and owners must be present whenever hotel staff are in the room with their pet. A doggy door hanger should always be displayed to indicate when a dog is in the room. The hotel also requires all dogs have up-to-date vaccination certificates and be treated for worms, fleas, and kennel cough prior to arrival. Dogs are not permitted in restaurant and bar areas, and dog food is not provided. But the hotel will provide you with a dog bed and bowls for food and water.
