Premier Inn introduces dog stays in Dubai with Dh50 nightly fee
New offering targets travellers relocating or planning flexible short stays
DUBAI – Premier Inn Middle East has announced the launch of dog-friendly stays at selected properties in Dubai, offering guests the option to travel or staycation with their pets.
Bookings are now open, with stays starting from April 6 at Premier Inn Dubai Al Jaddaf and Premier Inn Dubai Silicon Oasis.
The move reflects rising demand for short-term, flexible accommodation that accommodates pet owners, particularly those relocating or seeking convenience while travelling. With this initiative, guests no longer need to leave their dogs behind when planning a stay in the city.
Pet comfort
Both participating hotels feature dedicated dog-friendly floors, with specially designated rooms tailored to suit both pets and their owners. Guests can expect Premier Inn’s signature bedding, while dogs are provided with their own plush bed and a feeding station designed for comfort and ease.
To ensure a smooth experience, hotel staff have undergone specialised training in pet care in collaboration with The Petshop, recognised as the UAE’s largest pet store. The training focuses on handling dogs professionally while maintaining a welcoming environment throughout the stay.
Upon arrival, guests travelling with dogs receive a Doggy Welcome Pack that includes treats. Additional benefits include exclusive discounts at The Petshop, enhancing the overall value of the stay for pet owners.
Stay details
The hotels will accept dogs weighing up to 15kg, covering small to medium breeds, with a limit of one dog per room. A fee of Dh50 per room, per night applies for guests bringing pets. However, this fee will be waived for long stays exceeding 30 nights, provided arrival takes place before April 30, 2026.
Guests booking directly with Premier Inn can also access additional benefits, including complimentary early check-in, late check-out and 25 per cent off food and drinks. Reservations can be made online or via the contact centre. Terms and conditions apply.
