Pet Friendly Stays - Our Canine Concierge

For many, dogs are part of the family, and their place is with us - even when we travel. In some of Europe’s most beautiful cities, our hotels extend a warm welcome to your four-legged friends, with thoughtful touches in-room, friendly spaces to ‘paws’ together, and a concierge ready with tips for the best local walks. From shaded parks to riverside trails and neighbourhood cafés that set out water bowls at the door, every detail is designed to make them feel as at home as you do.

Serenity in the City

Contrary to popular belief, a sense of wellbeing doesn’t have to follow a set formula. Rather, it’s simply the moments which bring you back to yourself. For some, it’s a morning swim followed by a restorative massage. For others, it’s curling up in a quiet corner with a good book, or a pause beneath a centuries-old fresco in a hushed church. In Europe’s capitals, these precious moments of calm are easier to find than one might expect. Whilst a city break is often imagined as a fast-paced affair, sometimes we discover more when we choose to stand still. 

Little readers, big city

Stories have a wonderful way of colouring the world around us. For children, a book can make a destination feel alive; pavements turn into paths to adventure, statues hint at secret histories, even a hotel suite becomes part of the tale. Across Europe’s great cities, we’ve paired beloved stories with the places that inspired them, from surrealist imaginings in Brussels to a young girl’s journey through London, inviting little readers to explore with fresh wonder.
