🐾 The year of the pandemic has been a huge shock to the world. But for pets, it may have been the best time: the whole family was together, and owners devoted more time and attention to their animals. 2020 forced many industries to change, and some of the changes have not gone away.
For example, traveling within commuting distance has become a norm for many people. Of course, pets have been able to travel with their owners more often.
“During the pandemic, we saw a lot more people traveling with their pets,” says Tarundeep Singh, Senior Product Manager at Booking.com. “With more people driving to their destination, it’s easy for them to bring their pets along for the ride.”
For the travel industry, people traveling with pets represent a big market opportunity. According to Booking.com 2023, more than eight million users searched for hotels with the “pets allowed” filter. In this article, we have compiled a selection of the best pet-friendly hotels.
Le Bristol Paris, France
Visitors to the Bristol Hotel in Paris can be sure that their pets will receive the best possible welcome. This is because the hotel has already taken care to ensure that animals are treated no worse than their owners. After all, it is home to France's most famous aristocratic cat family.
This luxury pet-friendly hotel will provide your pet with a handcrafted bed and matching embroidered mat. At Le Bristol Paris, everything comes customized with your pet’s name, including gourmet monogrammed cookies. In addition, the pet’s menu offers grilled steak and roasted baby vegetables in the menu’s room service served with Evian in a silver bowl.
Socrate, the resident Burmese cat at Le Bristol Paris, will welcome other pets. His dad, Fa-Raon, recently retired to the warm and happy home of one of Le Bristol’s receptionists, Jean-Philippe, in the Paris area, where he has already spent time. As such, their very first house cat will stay closely connected to his Le Bristol family.
