5 Hotels That Actually Accept Pets 2026

Straight up — if you want a Taipei hotel where you absolutely won't get turned away at check-in, Kimpton Da An is the only no-strings-attached choice. Kimpton's global policy is “Furry, Feathery, Scaly — Welcome All”: no weight limits, no breed restrictions, no fees, and up to 2 pets per room. The room comes with food and water bowls already set up for your dog or cat.

It's a 5-star IHG property tucked into a quiet lane in Da'an, 5 minutes' walk from MRT Zhongxiao Fuxing — and crucially, only 8 minutes to Da'an Forest Park, the largest green space in central Taipei with plenty of room for your pup to stretch out. Throw in the free 5–6pm Social Hour, the rooftop with Taipei 101 views, and Michelin-rated The Tavernist downstairs, and even without bringing a pet, this stay would be worth it.

ILLUME TAIPEI is a Songshan design hotel that built an actual stay package around dog owners — the Pawstaycation. Your room comes pre-stocked with a dog bed, food and water bowls, treats, and toys. The front desk staff include dog owners themselves and will happily point you to the best parks nearby.

Here's why we picked this one: it's an 8-minute walk to Yingfeng Riverside Park Dog Park, Taipei's largest dog park at 1 hectare, with separate zones for small dogs (under 9kg) and big dogs, plus agility equipment, a paddling pool, and shade trees. Your dog will come back genuinely tired. Conditions: one dog per room, weight under 25kg, valid rabies vaccination within 12 months required at check-in. Dogs can't be left unattended in the room, and must be in a carrier or stroller anywhere in the lobby or hallways.

Want to soak in an onsen with your pet nearby? Yanmin Hot Spring is the answer — a resort inside Yangmingshan National Park about 40 minutes by car from central Taipei. Mountain forest atmosphere, peaceful, no traffic — perfect for a dog who wants to run around outdoors.

The designated pet rooms have tile or wooden floors (easy to clean) and accept both dogs and cats, any size, no weight limit. The fee is NT$600 per pet per stay (not per night) plus a NT$600/night refundable deposit returned at checkout if the room is undamaged. The room has an in-room mineral hot spring bath — though realistically that's for you, while your dog enjoys the outdoor space. Service animals stay completely free.

If you're a Marriott Bonvoy member who wants to burn points while traveling with your dog, Aloft Beitou is your only Taipei option — literally the only pet-friendly Marriott in the city (Aloft Zhongshan, Marriott Taipei, Madison all refuse pets). Worth knowing if brand loyalty matters to you.

Conditions: one dog per room, max 30kg (a smaller Golden Retriever fits), NT$1,500/night non-refundable fee, designated pet-friendly rooms only. You must call and book at least one day in advance — walk-ins won't work. Location-wise it's near MRT Qiyan and within walking distance of Beitou's public onsen baths (where pets can't enter, but the neighborhood is great for strolling). No cats accepted.

American Village Resort is a country-cabin-style retreat in the Yangmingshan area of Shilin (northern Taipei) — and pets stay totally free, no fee at all. Dogs of any size, plus cats with advance notice. This is the answer if you have a big dog that doesn't fit Kimpton's smaller rooms.

The vibe is rural-resort surrounded by mountains and trees — this is not a luxury property, but there's plenty of outdoor space for your dog to actually run around. Rooms are cabin/bungalow style with private patios or small lawns — your dog can be off-leash safely. We'll be straight with you: amenities aren't on Kimpton's level (8.2 score reflects this — English signage is limited, Wi-Fi spotty in some spots). But if the goal is “weekend escape with the dog,” this is the best value here.
