If you truly want your pet to feel welcome, this place takes pet-friendly to a whole other level. Upon checking in, your pet will receive a high-end welcome pack. Inside you’ll find a letter of welcome, gourmet pet treats, and a handy list of pet-friendly things to do and attractions. If you’re looking to spend just a little time away from your furry friend, pet sitting is available. You can also arrange to have your pet groomed and walked if you’re looking to give your pet the royal treatment while you slink off to the spa. The catch here is that your pets must meet the weight restriction of being under 7 kilos. You’ll also need to pay an additional fee up front.

If you don’t want to go too far from the center of the city on your pet filled sleep over, try the Donatello Hotel. You’ll find it located about midway between downtown itself and the Marina. You can stay simple, or splurge on a suite. You’ll also find two trendy restaurants on site. If room service is more your thing, it’s available too. This hotel is a bit more restrictive when it comes to pets. Typically, only one pet max is allowed. You’ll also want to call ahead to let them know you intend to bring along your fur-covered plus one. There is also typically a fee. Size also matters here, you’ll want to make sure your traveling companion is relatively diminutive in size.

This pet-friendly hotel is positively gorgeous. It’s sleek, modern, and offers some killer views. Suffice it to say that you and your pet will undoubtedly be sad to leave. If you want to book a room here, there is a pet fee. The hotel charges 300 AED per night, per pet. However, it does not discriminate against pets that are on the larger side.
