Dog-friendly hotels in Singapore1. Capella Hotel SingaporeYour dog is in for a special treat with a Capella hotel staycation! Photography: UnsplashSituated on Sentosa Island, Capella feels pretty close to an exotic beach getaway without having to leave the country. With lots of green space, a beach right on the doorstep, and myriad amenities within the hotel, your pet (and you!) are in for a fun-filled stay. Immerse yourself in five-star luxury, or venture out to Palawan beach and let your dog and kids frolic in the sand while you sip Sangria at the trendy FOC Sentosa. This dog-friendly staycation is available in all room types, with no added fee if your furkid is 6kg or under. We hear that its welcome pack for the pooch includes an elegant daybed, lots of toys and treats, and even a birthday cake if it’s your pet’s birthday! 2. Amara Sanctuary ResortAnother petcation resort-style destination in Sentosa – the Amara Sanctuary Resort offers the Pampered Paws package, which includes a night stay at a luxurious suite for two adults and a dog, complimentary breakfast, wifi, and an array of amenities for your pet curated by Silversky and Stellar. Go out and explore Sentosa with the kids and check out everything this beautiful island has to offer.

Four Seasons Hotel SingaporePreviously, the idea of bringing your pet to the grand Four Seasons seemed like a farfetched dream. Fast forward to now, and Four Seasons Hotel is ready to shower your pet with goodies, such as a personalised towel with your precious pet name embroidered on it, a pet bowl, pet bed, and bottled water. The downside is, there’s a cleaning fee of $100 applied to the room or $130 for suites… but we say Fido is totally worth it! 5. Regent SingaporeIn-room dining menu curated specially for your pet.
