Pet-Friendly Family Hotel in Vijayawada
1 family-friendly hotels with pet friendly in Vijayawada . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Grand Vijayawada by GRT Hotels is the only pet-friendly property on Booking.com in the city, a 5-star hotel rated 8.7 from 386 reviewers, and it sits at the top of the local price range at 116 EUR a night. That premium comes with real amenities beyond the pet policy: a year-round outdoor pool, a spa and wellness centre and a choice of mountain, city or river views, making it as much a full family stay as a dog-friendly one. For a family unwilling to leave a pet behind on an India trip, it's currently the only option in Vijayawada.
Vijayawada's heat is a real consideration for a family travelling with a pet, not just the kids: April through June regularly clears 40C, and a hotel with reliable air-conditioning and a year-round pool, as Grand Vijayawada offers, matters more here than it might in a milder city. The hotel's location, 6 km from Vijayawada Station and 18 km from the airport, keeps it within reach of Kanakadurga Temple and the Krishna riverfront, though a dog walk along the river is worth checking with the hotel in advance given the heat and crowds near the Prakasam Barrage.

๐Why Vijayawada is Great for Hotels with Pet Friendly
Grand Vijayawada by GRT Hotels is the sole pet-friendly hotel we found in Vijayawada, and the property backs that single amenity with genuine 5-star infrastructure: air-conditioned rooms with a choice of mountain, city or river views, a year-round outdoor swimming pool, and a spa and wellness centre. The continental buffet breakfast runs daily, with varied lunch and dinner menus the hotel describes as catering to diverse dietary needs, useful for a family managing both a pet and a picky eater on the same trip. A 24-hour front desk and concierge also make late check-ins with an animal in tow less of a logistical headache.
At 116 EUR a night, this is the most expensive property on our full Vijayawada list, and the price reflects both the star rating and the rarity of the pet-friendly policy itself. The 8.7 rating from 386 reviewers suggests guests find the premium justified, and the year-round pool specifically sets it apart from hotels where swimming is a seasonal amenity only, since it means the trip doesn't have to be timed around a narrow weather window for the kids either. A fitness room and 24-hour front desk round out a property built for a longer, more comfortable stay rather than a quick overnight.
Location-wise, Grand Vijayawada sits 6 km from Vijayawada Station and 18 km from the airport, a reasonable but not minimal transfer either way. Families travelling with a pet should factor in ground transport options in advance, since not every taxi or auto-rickshaw service in the city will accommodate an animal, and the hotel is the best source for local advice on this specific logistics question, particularly for the airport run if arriving with a crate or carrier. The tour desk on site can also help confirm which nearby sights, including the Krishna riverfront, are realistic to visit with a dog along for the day.
Parent's take
We almost left our dog with a sitter back home for this trip and I'm glad we didn't: Grand Vijayawada's staff had a water bowl waiting in the room before we'd finished checking in, and the year-round pool meant our kids could swim every single afternoon regardless of what the weather forecast said. The dog wasn't allowed poolside, obviously, but the hotel grounds gave enough space for an evening walk once the worst of the heat had passed, and honestly the whole stay felt less like a compromise than we'd braced for.

Why families love Grand Vijayawada by GRT Hotels
Families staying here who travel with a dog will find one of the few genuinely pet-friendly options in Vijayawada, and the year-round pool means swimming isn't limited to the hottest months the way it can be at properties with a seasonal-only setup. The spa and wellness centre and the choice of river or mountain views push the rate up to 116 EUR, the highest on our list, but the 8.7 rating from 386 reviewers backs up the premium.
๐กTips for Choosing a Hotel with Pet Friendly in Vijayawada
- 1Confirm the specific pet policy directly with Grand Vijayawada before booking, including size limits and any additional cleaning fees, since general listing pages rarely capture every detail of a pet policy.
- 2Plan dog walks for early morning or after sunset. Vijayawada's daytime heat from April to June is hard on pets as well as people, and pavement can become uncomfortably hot for paws by mid-morning.
- 3Book ground transport in advance if travelling with a pet from the airport, 18 km away, since not every taxi service in the city is set up to accommodate animals.
- 4The year-round pool here means you're not locked into a specific season for the swimming side of the trip, which gives more flexibility if you're also working around a pet's travel documentation timeline.
- 5Ask about nearby outdoor space for the pet beyond the hotel grounds. The Krishna riverfront near the Prakasam Barrage is the closest genuine green space, though check crowd levels with the hotel before heading over with a dog.
