Ovolo Brisbane, Fortitude Valley

The short version. Ovolo The Valley is a design-forward hotel with a rooftop pool, free mini bar and a strong dog programme called V.I.Pooch. Dogs up to 18kg are welcome and arrive to beds, bowls and treats, though the per-night pet fee is at the higher end for the area.

The pet policy. The V.I.Pooch programme allows dogs up to 18kg, with up to two dogs per room. An additional fee of $120 per pet, per night applies, with service animals exempt. Dog-friendly packages usually include a dog bed, bowls, a mat and treats on check-in. Confirm the current fee, the 18kg limit and package inclusions at booking, as pet terms can change.

The place. This is the quirky-decor end of the market, with a rooftop pool, sauna, spa baths in some rooms and a genuinely free mini bar, and rooms reviewed well for comfort and quiet. It leans playful and social rather than buttoned-up.

Location and nearby. You are central to the Valley, close to James Street dining and a short walk from Fortitude Valley station. The riverfront paths at Howard Smith Wharves and the off-leash space at New Farm Park are both within easy reach for daily walks.

Before you book. Book the V.I.Pooch package directly, confirm your dog is under 18kg, and check the current $120 nightly fee against your stay length. Good for style-minded owners of small to mid-sized dogs who want the extras handled.
