For the seventh time, the portal Hundehotel.info has chosen the best hotels for a vacation with four-legged friends.

Falstaff TRAVEL presents an overview of these hotels and provides additional tips for a relaxed trip with your dog.
Amidst the impressive mountain scenery of Ramsau am Dachstein, the "Almfrieden Hotel & Romantikchalet" has taken the lead. After being in third place last year, it has now made it to the top - and with a concept that consistently focuses on four-legged friends: from specially created dog menus to well thought-out wellness and activity areas. Whether dog pool, agility course or special workshops - the program is as varied as it is lovingly designed. Even wellness is not neglected: treatments such as Reiki or a dedicated dog spa ensure relaxation on four paws. New to the offer: an alpine indoor training area that enables exercise and training regardless of the weather.
The "Hunderesort Waldeck" in Philippsreut, Lower Bavaria - in first place last year - remains the leading address for vacations with dogs in Germany. The family-run business, whose roots date back to the late 1970s, has been expanded and modernized over the decades. Recent investments were made in particular in the wellness area with infinity pool, sauna area and spacious relaxation rooms. There is also plenty on offer for four-legged guests: a daily changing activity program, specialized workshops, extensive fenced-in outdoor areas, a swimming pond and an indoor hall provide exercise and variety - regardless of the season.
The "Hotel Grimming Dogs & Friends" in Rauris, Salzburg, is also one of the top addresses for vacations with dogs. The hotel is a dog-only hotel, where only guests arrive with their four-legged friends. Accordingly, the offer is completely geared towards the needs of dogs. A selection of more than 250 types of food underlines the claim to leave nothing to be desired in terms of culinary delights. There are also dog beds, bowls and dog showers, as well as seasonal services such as free dog sitting. Spacious outdoor areas, including a fenced-in dog meadow of around 4,500 square meters, an agility course and a swimming pond offer plenty of space for exercise and cooling off.
