1 / 8The Ampersand Hotel
Kensington and Chelsea, London
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A boutique hotel in South Kensington, inspired by the museum district, where up to two dogs are welcome in Deluxe Rooms, Deluxe Studios and Studio Suites.
The Ampersand Hotel takes its character from the museum district of South Kensington, with five themes running through it: botany, music, geometry, ornithology and astronomy. Dogs stay in the Deluxe Rooms, Deluxe Studios and Studio Suites at this dog friendly hotel.
Two dogs are the limit to a room, 40lbs between them, and a basket, bowls, treats and dog food come with the stay. Once you have booked, an email to the hotel sets the arrangements going. The hotel does not mention dogs left unattended indoors, so check that too.
Dogs are welcome in The Drawing Room on the ground floor, which is where the Science afternoon tea is served. Dogs are not allowed in the bar, nor in the other areas of the hotel, and that includes Apero, tucked beneath the Victorian cellar arches, which brings Mediterranean cooking to this part of South Kensington.
The gym is open to guests around the clock and runs on Technogym equipment, there is a table tennis table in The Games Room when it is not booked for an event, and the hotel runs on 100 per cent renewable electricity. It points dogs towards Hyde Park for a stroll, and Wildpack's Tooting Common Circular is 4.3 miles out.
