Our top 10 pet-friendly hotels and resorts
Where to stay and how to make the most of your GHA DISCOVERY membership benefits, rewards and offers when you bring your beloved fur friends along on the journey.
Paw-sitively perfect holidays
Travelling with pets can be one of life’s most rewarding experiences, yet finding the best pet-friendly places to visit requires additional planning. From vaccination requirements to airline policies to varying customs procedures, a seamless trip with pets always begins with research. Fortunately, finding hotels that allow dogs or cats is much simpler. Across the world, our GHA DISCOVERY pet-friendly resorts and hotels will treat your furry companion to a red-carpet welcome.
To ensure a stress-free experience, start by contacting your vet. An early discussion about your dog’s or cat’s health—and the particulars of your travel plans—can smooth your way. You can also research the type and size of pet carrier your preferred airline will accept, and acclimatise your pet(s) to experiences they’ll have while travelling, such as being around crowds, or spending hours in the carrier. Be sure to review your pet insurance policies, and have backup plans for the day(s) you fly.
Once you arrive at your chosen GHA DISCOVERY hotel that’s pet-friendly, it’s time to relax and let the staff pamper your kitty or pooch. Some hotels in our programme offer special rooms for pet families, or provide appropriate in-room meals. Others offer pet beds, doggy daycare, or even VIP bags with pet-friendly treats. If you dream of a holiday with four-legged companionship, don’t delay. Book now at one of the Top 10 pet-friendly hotels within the GHA DISCOVERY programme:
