1 / 8Hotel Café Royal
Westminster, London
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
A hotel on Regent Street with 159 rooms and suites, where dogs up to 12kg are permitted in the guestrooms, restaurants and bars.
Café Royal has welcomed guests for over 160 years, on Regent Street where St James, Mayfair and Soho converge. Dogs are welcomed with the same care as their owners at this dog friendly hotel, which runs to bespoke bedding, gourmet treats and dining with you in the restaurants.
Dogs up to 12kg are permitted, and a larger one needs a word with the hotel in advance. Plush dog beds, bowls and special treats take care of the details. The hotel doesn't state a number per room, so put that to them when you book.
Dogs are permitted within the restaurants and bars as well as the guestrooms, which puts a great deal on the table. Alex Dilling at Hotel Café Royal holds two Michelin stars for a modern take on French gastronomy, while Café Royal Grill serves classic and modern British cooking in a Grade II listed room. Afternoon tea is served there too.
Akasha Spa is hidden beneath Regent Street, with an 18m lap pool, a marble-clad hammam, a watsu pool, sauna and steam room, nine treatment rooms and a gym. The AA gives the hotel five red stars. One of its own suggestions for a dog walk is Green Park, where centuries-old plane trees cast shade over open grass, and Hampstead Heath Extended Circular Walk, 3.9 miles away, is on Wildpack's map.
