There are some pets who act as though they were raised by a wild pack of wolves, and then there are pets who travel with a selection of wardrobe options, garner an engaged social media following, and whose behaviour reflects that of their design-savvy owners. If your pet falls into the latter category, Design Hotel The Old Clare – in Sydney’s food-oriented Chippendale neighbourhood – has just the stay or playcation you and your pet need to take together (neckerchief optional).

The Old Clare Hotel’s new pet-friendly rooms have opened for business, which means guests can now bring their four-legged best friends along for a night of luxurious pampering.

When booking to stay in the hotel’s Kent and Abercrombie rooms, a mini retro-style lounge for your pet to rest on, handmade ceramic bowls, plush toys and an enticing menu of complimentary in-room pet dining options (available 24/7) will await pets who are ready to rest in style. And, there are dog-walking and dog-sitting services available should owners require a little ‘me time’.

‘But I have more than one pet’, we hear you protest. Never fear, The Old Clare allows two pets per rooms. And, if your pet happens to be a lizard, bunny or something a little less common than a dachshund, you can get in touch with the hotel to ensure they can accommodate your beloved companion.
