Whether you’re in it for the epic shopping, the world’s first Michelin-starred street food or to gawk at towers and light shows, Singapore is likely on your list of must-visits, and rightly so. There’s much amount to see, do and taste in this alluring city-state, where a tremendous list of record-holders and eye-poppers are packed into a relatively tiny area. Unfortunately, Singapore isn’t the most pet-friendly destination, at least when it comes to accommodation, so you may have to branch out from traditional hotels if you’re hoping to bring your glamorous pooch along for the journey. Whether you’re looking for ultimate luxury with world-renowned brands or quiet escapes through apartment living, these are the best pet-friendly hotels in Singapore.
Four Seasons Hotel Singapore
Head to Orchard Road for the glittering escape of your Singapore fantasies, shopping among the boutiques and designer outlets spread among some of the most glamorous hotels in the country. The Four Seasons Hotel Singapore is synonymous with luxury and provides swoon-worthy views of the famous tree-lined street and the surrounding city. Furry guests up to 15 pounds are treated to a bed, a bowl and a toy (one pet per reservation).
Capella Singapore
Capella Singapore is the ultimate natural escape in a city known for dazzling towers and colorful lights. Set among 30 acres of lush, landscaped grounds, two 19th-century colonial mansions have been restored and embellished to include 112 fully-modern rooms, suites and villas sure to help you recharge between city sprees. Dogs and cats 13 pounds or lighter are welcome at Capella Singapore for no additional fee.
Regent Singapore
Equally well-suited to both leisure and business travelers, Regent Singapore takes a step back from the busiest parts of town to provide a quieter moment of respite, but don’t worry—only a step. It’s still moments from everything you came to Singapore to see between business meetings or first-class meals. You can bring one faithful sidekick along for about $55 per stay (exact cost varies depending on conversion rate at time of payment) if the pet is under 33 pounds, but some larger pets can also be approved in advance.
Amara Sanctuary Resort Sentosa
On the island of Sentosa, just a ten-minute drive from all the action of commercial Singapore, Amara Sanctuary Resort Sentosa provides a five-star resort experience in an unlikely location. Choose from modern suites or plush villas and indulge in resort amenities including a rooftop infinity pool with dreamy South China Sea views. Amara’s Pampered Paws package for small dogs (up to 15 pounds) includes a welcome pack of treats, toys and healthy food, as well access to the doggy room service menu, with additional perks for humans.
Orchard Scotts Residences
Just starting to catch on in the United States, apart-hotels are already popular in top Asian vacation destinations like Singapore, and offer fully-serviced apartments with rental policies similar to hotels. It’s like Airbnb but with the amenities, security and confidence you’d have in a hotel. Orchard Scotts Residences is a top choice for visitors bringing furry friends along, allowing up to two pets 45 pounds and under for about $12 extra per night. Both cats and dogs are welcome.
Orchard Parksuites
Orchard Parksuites is an apart-hotel perfect for extended stays in Singapore, offering layouts ranging from lofts to three bedroom apartments and including amenities like tennis court, swimming pool and gym, but it’s also great for casual travelers looking for a home away from home, however briefly. It’s especially attractive to those traveling with larger pets, as it has no size restrictions on its pet policy. A nightly fee of about $12 applies for four-legged guests.
Fraser Suites Singapore
For a more local experience, book an apartment at Fraser Suites Singapore in the River Valley neighborhood. Here, you’ll find a more residential vibe but will still have easy access to the shopping and business districts you’ve come to ogle. Bonus for rewards lovers: Frasers Hospitality has properties across several continents, so you can build points for free stays and other perks just as with traditional hotel brands. This apart-hotel welcomes up two pets of any size for a nightly fee of about $7.
