It will now be the first 5* hotel in Belfast to invite dogs through their doors, ensuring that everyone in the family gets to enjoy a stay.

Cian Landers, General Manager of the Fitzwilliam Hotel, said: “We’ve always been known as the friendliest five-star hotel in Belfast, and now we’re delighted to extend that welcome to dogs as well as people.

“The last 18 months have given us time to ‘paws’ for thought and reflect on the needs of our customers. Dogs have always been a big part of the family, and now more than ever as we’ve grown even more attached to them during lockdown.

“So it’s natural to consider that we should take them with us to enjoy a five*-star experience as after all, our dogs love an adventure just as much as we do.”

With 3.2 million households across the UK adding a dog to the family since the start of the pandemic bookings could go through the ‘woof’.

It will cost just £30 per night to bring your dog with you and guests will be provided with a water bowl in the room, a dog welcome treat, a small toy to take home and the cleaning fee taken care of.
