How we picked these pet-friendly hotels
We started by checking every hotel’s own listing to confirm that pets are allowed. Only those with a clear pet-friendly policy made the cut. Next, we ranked the hotels by star rating, giving higher stars priority. For hotels with the same star rating, we used guest ratings to decide the order. However, we placed hotels with very few reviews lower, as small sample sizes can be less reliable. This method ensures that our top 10 pet-friendly hotels in Cape Town for 2026 reflect both official star classifications and real guest experiences. No other factors influenced the ranking.
Tips for pet-friendly stays in Cape Town
Always confirm the pet policy directly with the hotel before booking, as some properties may have specific rules about pet size, weight, or the number of pets allowed.
Ask about any additional fees or deposits for bringing a pet, and clarify what amenities are provided, such as pet beds, bowls, or designated relief areas.
Keep your pet on a leash in all public areas of the hotel and around Cape Town, unless you are in a designated off-leash park.
Bring your pet’s own food, bedding, and favourite toys to help them settle in and reduce stress in a new environment.
Check for nearby veterinary clinics and pet supply stores in case of emergencies, and note their hours before you travel.
