Pet-Friendly Hotels in Girona for Dog Owners
8 family-friendly hotels with pet friendly in Girona . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Girona is a good city for a dog if you pick the right base. The old quarter, the Barri Vell, is a maze of stairs and stone lanes beside the river Onyar, the Devesa Park gives a wide green space on the other side of the centre, and most distances are short enough to walk. I went through the hotels in Girona that publish a pet-friendly policy and kept those where the location, the rating or the facilities make a practical difference to an owner. DoubleTree by Hilton, Hotel Gran Ultonia, Carlemany, Best Western Premier CMC and a few quieter countryside options are covered below. Pet terms vary by property, so confirm size limits and any supplement with the hotel before you book.
Girona is a compact Catalan city built on both sides of the Onyar, with a medieval centre, colourful riverfront houses and a cathedral that dominates the skyline. It is walkable, but not flat: the Barri Vell climbs in stone steps, which can be tiring in the heat for an older or small dog. The Devesa Park, a large green area, is the natural place for an easy walk. The city is calm in the early morning, which is the best time to explore it with an animal.

🐕Why Girona is Great for Hotels with Pet Friendly
The question with a dog in Girona is where you want to wake up: inside the old quarter, where cathedral steps and stone lanes are the daily route, or near the station and the park, where walks are flatter and parking is easier. Both work, and the list below covers each. Ratings are strong, from 8.1 to 9.6, and several hotels add spa areas, bike rental or family suites, which helps when the trip includes children. I have kept to what the listings say and I would always confirm the pet rules before arriving.
For a base close to the old quarter, Hotel Gran Ultonia and Hotel Ultonia are the two I would look at first. Gran Ultonia is a four-star hotel 500 metres from Girona Cathedral and the Barri Vell, with stylish air-conditioned rooms, family suites, bike rental and spa services, and it is pet-friendly, rated 8.7 from nearly 2,850 reviews. Hotel Ultonia is a three-star in the centre of Girona, a short walk from the old town, the cathedral and the Arab baths, with family suites, a spa and wellness centre and bike rental, rated 8.1.
If you arrive by train or bus, Carlemany Girona and Best Western Premier CMC Girona are the practical options. Carlemany is a four-star hotel 600 metres from the Barri Vell and 400 metres from the train and bus station, with spacious air-conditioned rooms, family suites, bike rental and on-site restaurants, rated 8.7. Best Western Premier CMC is a four-star hotel a ten-minute walk from the station, with family suites, a spa and wellness centre, free access to the gym, sauna and hot tub and bike rental, rated 8.3. Both are pet-friendly.
DoubleTree by Hilton Girona is the choice if you want green space beside the hotel. It is a modern four-star next to Devesa Park, a short walk from the Auditorium, with a rooftop swimming pool, free Wi-Fi, an on-site restaurant and a pet-friendly policy. The park is the most useful detail for a dog owner, since it gives a large open area for a morning walk right outside the door. Its 8.3 rating comes from nearly 4,800 reviews, the highest count among the hotels listed here. Ask whether pets may use the restaurant and rooftop area.
For a quieter stay with gardens, look at the countryside properties. Hotel Castell de Vallgornera has a 9.6 rating, family rooms with air conditioning, a saltwater swimming pool, a sun terrace, a lush garden and bike hire, and it lists a pet-friendly policy. Hotel Palau Fugit is a four-star hotel with a seasonal outdoor pool, spa facilities, a garden, a terrace and a restaurant serving Catalan and Spanish cuisine, rated 9.0. La Comuna by Bon Dia Residences offers family rooms with kitchenettes and a washing machine, which suits longer stays with a dog.
Parent's take
For Girona with a dog I would choose by what the morning looks like. Gran Ultonia is my pick when I want to step out into the Barri Vell on foot, DoubleTree when I want the Devesa Park at the door, and Carlemany for a straightforward stay near the station. Whatever I chose, I would confirm the pet terms in writing, ask for a ground-floor or quiet-side room and plan the longest walk early, before the stone streets warm up.

💡Tips for Choosing a Hotel with Pet Friendly in Girona
- 1Confirm the pet policy by email before booking: size and breed limits, the number of animals per room and any supplement. The listing says pets are accepted, but each hotel sets its own terms.
- 2Walk early. The old quarter's stone lanes and steps warm up quickly in summer, so plan the longer outing for early morning and keep midday for the hotel, where most rooms are air-conditioned.
- 3Use the Devesa Park for easy, open walks, and the riverfront along the Onyar for a flat route. The Barri Vell is best kept for short, slow outings because of the stairs.
- 4If you drive, ask the hotel about parking before arrival. Streets in the old quarter are narrow, and hotels near the station or the park are usually easier to reach by car.
- 5Ask for a ground-floor or quiet-side room. A night-time outing is quicker, and a dog that is nervous in new places settles better away from the corridor and lifts.
- 6Bring the dog's own bed, bowl and vaccination record, and keep the lead short in lobbies and restaurants. Check the rules on pets in spa and pool areas, which are often restricted.
