Park Hyatt Melbourne, one of Australia’s most prestigious city hotels opens its doors to canine companions.
MELBOURNE, Australia – In a stylish nod to our four-legged friends, Park Hyatt Melbourne has officially launched dog-friendly rooms, welcoming guests and their beloved pets to experience five-star indulgence together.
Melbourne has always had a Parisian connection, (think Collins Street shopping), and now just like Paris dogs are being welcomed into five star luxury.
Park Hyatt, an elegant city retreat redefines luxury hospitality by including every member of the family — paws and all.
Nestled beside the tree-lined paths of Fitzroy Gardens and moments from the city’s cultural heart, Park Hyatt Melbourne is renowned for its understated opulence, serene ambiance, and award-winning service.
Now, with the introduction of its dog-friendly accommodation, the hotel extends its signature sophistication to canine guests, blending comfort with charm in a way only Park Hyatt can.
This new offering is more than a convenience — it’s a celebration of the deep bond between pets and their people. Inspired by the legacy of Mr. Walker, the hotel’s beloved guide dog ambassador, and carried forward by Charlie, Park Hyatt’s friendly resident pup, the dog-friendly program is thoughtfully designed to ensure every guest — furry or otherwise — feels at home.
Each stay in a Dog-Friendly Room includes:
- A plush, high-quality dog bed
- Stylish food and water bowls
- A welcome toy and gourmet treat
- In-room dining options from a curated pet menu
- Access to designated pet relief areas
Guests can enjoy leisurely walks through the neighbouring Fitzroy Gardens before returning to sunlit rooms tailored for serenity and style. The exclusive dog-friendly rooms are limited in number and available to book directly through the hotel’s website from 1 May 2025.
“Our hotel has always celebrated the meaningful connections between people and their pets,” said Oliver Kahf, General Manager of Park Hyatt Melbourne. “We’re proud to offer a stay where elegance and comfort extend to every family member — furry ones included.”
Dog owners will also find comfort in knowing that all accommodations follow Victoria’s pet-friendly regulations, with a clear and respectful pet policy in place. Details on breed guidelines and etiquette are available in the hotel’s comprehensive Dog-Friendly Stay FAQ.
The Park Hyatt has had a resident dog for some years, and Charlie — the hotel’s resident pup — recently moved in from the USA.
From designer touches to doggy delights, Park Hyatt Melbourne continues to redefine urban luxury — this time, with paws on the parquet floors.
