The Alma, a dog friendly city hotel in London1 / 8

The Alma

Wandsworth, London

Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.

A Victorian landmark in the heart of Wandsworth Town, where two dogs can share a bedroom with a hamper of treats, a bed and a bowl.

The Alma comes into view in her green tiled glory as you pull into Wandsworth Town station, a traditional Victorian pub with rooms in the heart of Wandsworth Town. The Alma earns its place as a dog friendly hotel for practical reasons, with the parks of South West London for your dog and Waterloo ten minutes up the line.

Up to two dogs can take one of the dog friendly bedrooms, where a water bowl, a hamper of tail-wagging treats and a doggy bed or blanket are waiting; bring their own bed along if they sleep better on it. Dogs go on a lead in the shared areas, and leaving one unsupervised is not allowed at any point. The hotel also asks that they keep off the beds and the soft furnishings, and that you pack a spare blanket if yours is drawn to muddy puddles.

Pub classics get a kick here: fish specials, a hefty cut from the dry-ager, bar snacks and a Sunday roast that fills you up. The hotel does not say which tables a dog may join you at, so check that at booking. Breakfast runs hearty or healthy downstairs, and there is a children's menu for the youngest of the party.

The Alma has 23 boutique bedrooms and two feature rooms; one of those sits on the ground floor with a private garden, and each feature room has a freestanding rolltop bathtub. King George's Park is around the corner, and the hotel recommends it for a dog's mooch before bed; Wildpack maps Wimbledon Common Windmill and Queensmere Circular 2.5 miles away.
