Paris with a dog - What accommodation with a dog in Paris?
More and more structures (hotels, campsites, apartments, palaces, unusual accommodation) are now welcoming dogs. Faced with this ever-increasing offer, I had to favor certain selection criteria to meet the requirements of my doggie.
Because yes it is very good that a majority of hotels now accept dogs, but under what conditions? Many welcome dogs but have nothing planned for equipment ... It is often to attract customers that many hotels allow dogs, so beware before you book.
Of course, the important thing when choosing a hotel for a stay with a dog is to be able to have enough space and ideally a small garden. This is what I recommend as a priority criterion in your research.
If your search is unsuccessful and the hotels available are not very large and / or do not have a small garden, check if there are green spaces nearby for the needs of your dog but also for his walks.
This is what I sought as a priority while maintaining my requirements of:
- Good location far from dangerous districts of Paris ;
- Comfort;
- Cleanliness ;
- Reasonable price.
Here is my selection of 2 best dog-friendly hotels in Paris.
Best hotel in central Paris accepting dogs
Here is the hotel I recommend: Mercure Paris Tour Eiffel Centre
The main asset of this hotel is its exceptional geographical location for sightseeing while having your dog with you. Indeed, this hotel with a garden accepts dogs and is just a 2-minute walk from the Eiffel Tower. To be able to walk your dog, its location is also ideal opposite a stadium and a stone's throw from the gardens of the Eiffel Tower.
Another advantage and not the least given its geographical location: its excellent value for money.

Paris with a dog - Procedures and documents to take
Wherever you go with your dog, you should check in advance that he has a microchip and that his health record is up to date with its vaccines. Of course, his health record will have to follow you everywhere, especially if you do a small circuit in France...

Ihr empfohlenes Hunde-Hotel akzeptiert gar keine Hunde!
Hotel des Grandes Ecoles erlaubt leider keine Haustiere
Vielen Dank für diese wichtige Information. In der Tat habe ich gerade erfahren, dass dieses Hotel nun Hunde ablehnt. Das ist sehr schade.
Aber ich habe gerade das empfohlene Hotel gegen das Mercure Paris Tour Eiffel Centre getauscht, das alle Vaiguillee vereint, die man sich für einen Aufenthalt in Paris mit seinem Hund wünscht.
Have a nice day!
