Alcyone Hotel Residences

Alcyone Hotel Residences is an apartment-style hotel on the Hamilton riverfront, close to Brisbane Airport and the Northshore precinct. It takes pets in designated apartments, with the catch that it is set up for small dogs rather than larger ones.

The pet policy. Dogs and cats up to 12kg are accepted, one pet per apartment, and pets must be pre-approved in writing before you book. A non-refundable deep-cleaning fee of $40 per night applies, capped at $150. A "Pamper Your Pooch" package is offered for an extra $35 per night on top of the cleaning fee. Confirm the current figures at booking.

The rules. Pets must be carried through common areas, cannot be left unattended in the apartment, and are not permitted in some parts of the property. Read the conditions when you get your written approval so there are no surprises on arrival.

The place. Reviewers rate the river views, modern self-contained apartments, comfortable beds and balconies. The riverside walk on the doorstep is an easy leg-stretch for the dog.

Who it suits. A good fit for small-dog owners wanting an apartment near the airport with river access. Larger dogs are out under the 12kg limit.

Before you book. Get written pre-approval, confirm the cleaning fee and any package, and check which apartments are pet-designated.
