Pet-Friendly Family Hotels in Paris
5 family-friendly hotels with pet friendly in Paris . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Travelling to Paris with kids is one thing. Travelling to Paris with kids and a dog is another, and many hotel listings still treat dogs as an afterthought. The five hotels below all accept pets and sit in neighbourhoods where a morning walk is pleasant rather than stressful: Canal Saint-Martin, Montmartre, Bastille and the residential 16th near Trocadéro. Most offer family rooms or apartments with enough floor space for a dog bed next to a travel cot, and two add a spa for the parents. Pet fees and the number of dog-friendly rooms vary, so confirm both before you book.
Paris with a dog is a different city. Suddenly you notice every patisserie that lets you sit outside, every bakery with a water bowl by the step, every bouquiniste whose stall blocks the kerb just enough that the kids stop to look. The Marais, Canal Saint-Martin, and the Butte Montmartre all feel made for strollers and short leashes. Even the Métro is dog-friendly if you carry a small one in a bag. Bring a folding water bowl and you'll be fine.

🐕Why these Paris hotels actually welcome your dog
Paris is a walking city, which is why pet-friendly hotels here matter more than in most capitals. Your dog will need three or four short outings a day, and your kids will need ice cream, swings, and somewhere to run. The five hotels below put both inside fifteen minutes on foot. Each one has a family room or apartment, a calm street outside, and staff who have hosted dogs before — not just permitted them. We checked the small print so you don't end up paying a 50 euro nightly pet fee you didn't expect.
Family rooms that take a dog are rarer in Paris than they should be. Many boutique hotels offer standard doubles of around 16 square metres, fine for two adults but cramped with a child and a labrador. Terrass" Hotel in Montmartre has family rooms above 22 square metres, while Goralska Résidences at Bastille rents apartments with separate living space and a full kitchen, useful when the children want pasta at nine in the evening and the dog needs feeding on a tiled floor rather than a hotel carpet. Ask for the room size in square metres when you book.
The neighbourhood decides how easy the daily walks are. Hôtel Keppler and Hôtel L'Ormaie & Spa are both in the calm 16th, a short walk from the Trocadéro gardens and the Eiffel Tower view across the river. Le Robinet d'Or sits one block from the locks of the Canal Saint-Martin, where the towpaths are wide and lively, and Goralska overlooks the Bassin de l'Arsenal, where the canal meets the Seine. Terrass" Hotel is two streets below the Sacré-Cœur, close to the gardens on the hill, which are at their quietest early in the morning before the crowds arrive.
Pet fees vary from one hotel to the next, and so does the number of rooms set aside for animals. Booking platforms show a generic pet icon, but smaller properties often limit dogs to a handful of rooms, which sell out first in spring and summer. Ask for written confirmation of the fee, any weight limit and the room type when you book, not at check-in. Many front desks also ask to see a vaccination record, so keep a printed copy with your passports and the dog's identification, along with the details of a local vet just in case.
Comfort for the adults matters too after a long day of walking. Hôtel Keppler and L'Ormaie both have a spa, and L'Ormaie adds a fitness centre, which makes an evening swap easy: one parent stays with the sleeping children and the dog while the other unwinds downstairs. Terrass" Hotel runs two restaurants and a panoramic seventh-floor terrace over the rooftops, and Le Robinet d'Or has its own restaurant, so a tired family does not have to cross the city at dinner time with a dog in tow and children close to bedtime.
Parent's take
For families travelling with a dog, the street outside the hotel matters as much as the room. A high rating means little if the only walk is a busy boulevard at rush hour. Several of these hotels sit on quieter residential streets in the 16th, 18th and 4th arrondissements, where a short walk before breakfast is calm enough for older children to hold the lead.

Why families love Goralska Résidences Paris Bastille
Apartments are why this place works for a family with a dog. We had a one-bedroom with kitchen and the dog could lie on the cool kitchen tiles while we ate dinner with the kids on the sofa. Bassin de l'Arsenal has a long flat path along the canal, perfect for a slow morning walk with kids on scooters and a dog. Bastille market on Thursdays and Sundays is dog-friendly outside, the kids picked their own croissants from three different stalls.
Hôtel L'Ormaie & Spa
Trocadéro, 16th arrondissement
Wonderful
667 reviews
Hôtel L'Ormaie & Spa is tucked on rue Lauriston in the calm 16th, a 5-minute walk from Trocadéro and the Eiffel Tower view. The 4-star property has a spa, fitness centre, and pet-friendly rooms with no extra charge for the dog. The street outside is residential, walkable, and rarely busy before 9am.

Why families love Hôtel L'Ormaie & Spa
I recommend L'Ormaie to Paris families travelling with a dog. Pet-friendly rooms come with no extra charge for the dog, which is uncommon among the city's 4-star hotels. The hotel sits on rue Lauriston in the calm 16th, a five-minute walk from Trocadéro and its Eiffel Tower view, and the residential street outside is quiet in the early morning, ideal for a first dog walk. A spa and fitness centre complete the picture for parents.
Hôtel Keppler
Champs-Élysées, 16th arrondissement
Wonderful
969 reviews
Hôtel Keppler is a chic 4-star boutique on rue Kepler in the 16th, a short walk from the Champs-Élysées and Trocadéro gardens. The hotel has a spa, family rooms, and shuttle service, plus an honesty bar in the lounge. Pets are accepted, and the staff have years of experience with dog-owning families travelling between Paris and London.

Why families love Hôtel Keppler
Trocadéro gardens are 6 minutes on foot, and that's where you want to be at sunrise with kids and a dog. The Eiffel Tower view comes free, the gravel paths are wide enough that the dog can run off-lead in the early hour before the crowds, and there's a swing set on the avenue Albert de Mun side. Our 9-year-old asked to come back every morning. The family room had a small velvet day bed the dog adopted as her own.
Terrass" Hotel
Montmartre, 18th arrondissement
Wonderful
777 reviews
Terrass" Hotel sits on a quiet stretch of rue Joseph-de-Maistre, two streets below the Sacré-Cœur stairs. The 4-star hotel runs two restaurants, family rooms above 22 square metres, and a panoramic 7th-floor terrace with rooftop views over the whole of Paris. Pets are accepted on request with a small charge.

Why families love Terrass" Hotel
Montmartre is one of the rare central neighbourhoods where you can walk a dog without dodging buses every thirty seconds. The hotel staff handed our kids a folded map of the Butte with three suggested loops and a tip about the dog-friendly bakery on rue des Abbesses. The family room had genuine separation between sleeping zones, which mattered when the dog wanted to sleep on the cool tile floor by the window. Kids loved the terrace breakfast more than anything else in Paris.
Le Robinet d'Or Paris Canal Saint Martin
Canal Saint-Martin, 10th arrondissement
Wonderful
1,301 reviews
Le Robinet d'Or Paris Canal Saint Martin is a 3-star design hotel on rue Robert Blache, one block from the Canal Saint-Martin locks. The hotel has a restaurant, free WiFi, family rooms, and accepts pets on request with a small fee. The neighbourhood around the canal is one of the most walkable in Paris and dogs are commonplace on the towpaths.

Why families love Le Robinet d'Or Paris Canal Saint Martin
Canal Saint-Martin on a Sunday morning is a Parisian family ritual: locks turning, dogs splashing in the shallows, kids on scooters, parents drinking coffee from paper cups outside the bakeries. The hotel sits one street back from this scene which is exactly where you want to be. Family room was 20 square metres, snug but workable, and the dog had a quiet corner under the desk. Front desk speaks English fluently and warned us about the bike lane crossing the towpath.
💡Travelling to Paris with kids and a dog: what we'd plan first
- 1Pack a printed vaccination record and the dog's identification papers. Many Paris front desks ask to see them on arrival, and having them ready avoids a long wait at reception with tired children and a restless dog.
- 2Confirm pet acceptance in writing before your trip. Booking platforms display a generic pet icon, but actual room availability for dogs is usually limited to two or three rooms per property and they sell out fast in summer.
- 3Avoid the inner Métro lines with a dog at rush hour. Lines 1 and 4 between 8am and 9am are wall to wall, and even a small dog gets nervous. Walk or use Lines 7 and 8 which run through the parks.
- 4Buy a 5 pack of folding poop bags at any Monoprix in the city. Paris fines for not picking up are 68 euros, the cleaning crews are vigilant in the central arrondissements, and your hotel concierge will not have spares.
- 5Plan the morning walk around a real park, not just a pavement loop. Buttes-Chaumont, Parc Monceau, and the Champ de Mars all open at sunrise and have dog-friendly grass areas where your kids can run too.
- 6Choose a hotel within ten minutes of a big green space or a waterside path. The Trocadéro gardens, the Canal Saint-Martin towpaths and the Bassin de l'Arsenal all make an easy first and last walk of the day.
