However, more hotels are child friendly than they are keen to welcome your best friend, no matter how well trained they might be.
Hampstead is a great place to visit, particularly given its proximity to Hampstead Heath and Kenwood House.
Within a three-mile radius there are also two royal parks, The Regent’s Park and Primrose Hill, to explore with your canine.
Here are the top five pooch-friendly hotels:
Hampstead Britannia, in Primrose Hill Road.
This hotel is situated within walking distance of Hampstead Village and its designer shops, continental café bars and restaurants, as well as Primrose Hill.
One night for one (with an extra charge for your pooch) starts at £57.
Dorset Square Hotel, Dorset Square, Marylebone
This is a very high-end treat for your pup as a double room could set you back £700.
London Marriot Hotel Regents, in King Henry’s Road
This hotel is closer to Regent’s Park, with a standard room starting at £215 a month, with an extra charge for your pet.
