8 best pet-friendly hotels in Bern

Pet-friendly hotels in Bern are ideal for travellers who want their four-legged companions included in the itinerary—not treated as an afterthought. In the historic centre, staying near Bundesplatz puts you by the bustling federal square and its frequent public events in the Old City. If you’re drawn to the medieval atmosphere, the lower Old Town around Zytglogge offers easy access to one of Bern’s best-known landmarks and central pedestrian streets.

A hotel is genuinely “pet-friendly” when practical details match the promise: clear pet policies, welcoming staff, and facilities that reduce friction on arrival (such as easy check-in, suitable room layouts for dogs, and guidance for walks). It’s also about location—hotels that place you close to leafy routes, parks, and transit make it much simpler to keep routines consistent, which suits families, couples, and dog owners travelling at their own pace.

For a well-connected city break, consider Hotel Baeren am Bundesplatz (4★) and Best Western Plus Hotel Bern (4★) for central access, while Stay KooooK Bern Wankdorf (3★) gives a more modern base for guests happy to explore beyond the Old Town. Comfort-focused options like da Maurizio Suites (4★) and ibis Styles Bern City (3★) work well for pet parents who value straightforward logistics during sightseeing.
