About This Guide
London has embraced pet-friendly travel with open arms, and these hotels lead the pack. Whether you're traveling with a Great Dane or a Chihuahua, each property on our list has been vetted for genuine pet welcome — not just a grudging 'pets allowed' policy, but thoughtful amenities that make your companion feel as pampered as you. Our top pick, The Resident Covent Garden, stands out for its dedicated pet concierge service and custom pet beds. The Beaumont offers a particularly impressive pet menu, while The Kensington Hotel provides a private garden area perfect for morning walks. When choosing a pet-friendly hotel in London, location matters as much as pet policy. We've prioritised properties near parks, walking trails, and pet-friendly restaurants so you and your companion can explore together without constant taxi rides back to the hotel.
Insider Tips
Call the hotel directly to confirm current pet policies — size limits and breed restrictions can change.
Pack your pet's favourite bed or blanket to help them settle in unfamiliar surroundings.
Ask the concierge for pet-friendly restaurant recommendations near the hotel.
Research London's parks and green spaces before arrival for exercise options.
Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Covent Garden — St Martin's Lane
Apartment-style suites with kitchenettes at hotel prices, steps from the theatres. The rooms are compact but smartly designed, and having your own kitchen in central London changes the economics of a long stay entirely.
Mayfair — Balderton Street
Art Deco grandeur meets Antony Gormley sculpture. The ROOM — a habitable artwork by Gormley, a cubist sleeping chamber projecting from the hotel's facade — is one of the most talked-about hotel rooms in the world. Everything else is quietly perfect.
South Kensington — Harrington Road
A townhouse hotel on a quiet crescent steps from the V&A, Natural History Museum, and Hyde Park. The drawing room serves a proper afternoon tea, the rooms are classically English without being stuffy, and South Ken tube is 90 seconds away.
City of London — Poultry
A former Midland Bank transformed into a members-club-meets-hotel with nine restaurants, a rooftop pool overlooking St Paul's, and the most spectacular lobby in London — original 1920s banking hall, Lutyens-designed, absurdly grand.
City of London — South Place
A sharp, design-forward hotel where the City meets Shoreditch. The rooftop restaurant and bar draw a post-work crowd, the spa is excellent for the price, and the rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city's newest skyline.
Mayfair — Brook Street
The definitive London grand hotel. Art Deco lobbies, immaculate service, and a guest list that reads like a social register. The afternoon tea is iconic, the bar is legendary, and the doormen remember your name from last year.
