Bankside Hotel

Southwark, London

Yes. Dogs can stay overnight, up to 2 dogs per room.

A design-led hotel on London's South Bank with 161 bedrooms, a canine concierge list of dog friendly outings, and beds, bowls and treats for dogs.

Bankside is a design-led hotel on the South Bank of London, six storeys holding 161 bedrooms, with artwork through the building and a location on the Thames. The canine concierge is what a dog friendly hotel looks like here: the team keeps a list of dog friendly things to do across the city, markets and dog parks included.

Two dogs is the limit for a room, and the essentials come as standard, so a dog bed, bowls and treats are provided. The rooms are residential in feel, with eclectic artwork and hi-tech touches. The hotel doesn't state which bedrooms dogs sleep in, and says nothing about leaving a dog unattended, so settle both as you book.

Where possible, the team will make sure you get a spot tucked away, so your dog can relax while you eat and drink. Art Yard Kitchen is the informal, art-filled restaurant and bar, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and dogs are welcome there and out on the terraces.

An artist in residence studio is a permanent fixture here, which tells you something about a hotel whose bar and kitchen are named Art Yard. The hotel's location on the Thames suits riverside walks, and for a dog who wants more space, Battersea Park Riverside and Lake Circular sits 3.0 miles off on our map.
