The Best Pet-Friendly Hotels To Book In Adelaide

Bordered by parklands, Adelaide is a green city perfectly geared towards outdoor activities, which means dogs are in their element. It prides itself on its hidden laneways, a redeveloped riverbank precinct and an exciting bar and restaurant scene – that’s why this cosmopolitan metropolis is a place visitors return to again and again. World-famous wine regions are all yours, just a short drive from the city centre, as are white sandy beaches that four-legged friends adore. If you’re pining for a holiday with your furry pal(s), read on and digest our guide to the best pet-friendly accommodation in Adelaide – bookable with Culture Trip.

1. The Mayfair Hotel, for heritage good looks

Boutique Hotel, Luxury

With its popular Hennessy rooftop bar on the 13th floor, the boutique Mayfair Hotel in Adelaide has a great central location at the intersection of King William and Hindley Streets, overlooking the Rundle Mall. Housed within the refurbished 1930’s Colonial Mutual building, the hotel has a head-turning facade that helps explain its heritage-listed status. Inside, it’s animal-magic – there’s a luxury pets programme (additional $150 per pet per night) that gives your cat or dog (maximum two per room) a special time in contemporary and stylish interiors. Choose a deluxe king room or superior queen room.

2. A walk in the park at Adabco Boutique Hotel

Boutique Hotel, Hotel

Step inside this heritage-listed, Venetian Gothic style building on Wakefield Street in the heart of central Adelaide – you’ll find a snazzy boutique hotel that happily welcomes four-legged friends. The historic pile, built in 1897, is in the heart of Adelaide, just 10 minutes’ walk from Rundle Mall, while Adelaide Airport is a 20-minute drive away. Take your pooch for a stroll through the peaceful Botanic Gardens, a 15-minute walk away. In addition to the room rate, an $80 fee per stay applies to host your pet – and you have to pick a premium queen room only, with a maximum of pets permitted in one accommodation.

3. Hilton Adelaide, for the warmest welcome

Chain Hotel

In the heart of Adelaide’s entertainment and shopping district overlooking Victoria Square, the Adelaide Hilton extends a tail-waggingly warm welcome to you and your dog. When you’re sated with swimming in the heated outdoor pool, click on the pet leash and take your four-legged friend for a saunter around the Adelaide Botanic Gardens or the Central Market and Chinatown. Be sure to check the T&Cs – your dog must not exceed 34kg (75lb) and must never be left unattended. A $500 deposit is requested at checkin, and you’ll pay a $90 charge per stay in addition to the nightly room rate.

5. Discovery Holiday Parks – Adelaide Beachfront, for sea breezes

274882795 Discovery Holiday Parks - Adelaide Beachfront

Furry friends are welcome in the nautical-chic two-bedroom cabins located by the beach at Semaphore. The seafront location is perfect for relaxing weekends, but if you’re looking for big-city attractions, the CBD is only about 15km (9mi) away. This is a holiday that’s tailor-made for young ones, who will love hitting the swimming pool and playground with new best friends. Meanwhile, parents can fire up the barbecue for dinner. Or cook in your cabin – the kitchen facilities are above average, and you’ll save a packet.

6. Peace and space at Aspen Holiday Parks Adelaide Caravan Park

b6b4b3d4 Aspen Holiday Parks Adelaide Caravan

On the city fringe, this property is only 2km (1.2mi) from the Adelaide CBD – but it’s another world here, where canines can run free, overnighting comfortably close to all the city attractions. The choice is between cabins, villas and powered sites. Leave your pooch to relax as you sizzle up a steak and sausages in the outdoor barbecue area, watching from a safe distance in the communal outdoor kitchen. A word of advice: be sure to check with the park manager when booking for the latest rundown on pet-friendly policies.
