There’s no need to continuously spend your vacation worrying about dog sitters or shelters when so many luxury hotels have accommodations ready for even the furriest of travelers. With a wide selection of pet-approved hotels to choose from, here are four with some of the most special pet amenities around. From the sandy beaches of Miami to the snowy streets of London, these hotels are ready to make your pet feel like the VIP they are. Make your stay as perfect a stay as possible by alerting the hotel’s staff about your plus one when you book.

With a prime location overlooking Kensington Palace, this five-star country mansion sets the tone for your pet right from the start.

After a day full of play, help your pet get their best rest by creating a custom-made Milestone Hotel pet bed to pair with cushion duvets and floor mats.
