The Best Pet-Friendly Hotels to Book in Richmond, Canada
Richmond hugs the shore of the mighty Fraser River. Once a historic fishing village, the city has a population of a quarter of a million people. It’s no wonder, then, that the Richmond Night Market is a bustling attraction in the summer months, with over 100 vendors selling everything from grilled squid to artisanal handicrafts. Bring your pet along for a weekend of exploring, and stay in one of the best pet-friendly hotels in Richmond, Canada – bookable on Culture Trip.

The family-friendly Queens Hotel in New Westminster is a historic 24-room two-story hotel originally built in 1958 as a motel.

It’s a quick half-hour drive from Vancouver International Airport to the hotel, where the staff speak a multitude of languages – including woofs.
3. The Steveston Cafe & Hotel, for afternoon strolls through the park
Hotel
One of the oldest dog-friendly hotels in Richmond, the Steveston has been around since 1895.

Choose from comfortable rooms and suites with free parking, and enjoy the live music at the Buck & Ear Pub in the evenings.

Conveniently located 30 minutes from Downtown Vancouver by car or Skytrain, the Hilton Airport is one of the top pet-friendly hotels in Richmond.

Paws down the most pet-friendly hotel in Richmond, and we do mean pets – furry, feathery or reptilian. Your pets (two is usual, more are up for discussion) can even enjoy this retro-influenced hotel on their own in your room for short periods – an unusual perk. They’ll find treats and water bowls at the ready and green space outside for walkies. Every room or suite comes with a kitchenette – while the lobby stocks comic books and vinyl records, and every guest goes home with a rubber ducky as a memento.
