Hotel Indigo Brisbane City Centre by IHG

The short version. Hotel Indigo Brisbane City Centre is a boutique IHG hotel in the CBD that takes dogs through a dedicated package rather than as a general policy. If you book the right rate, your dog is genuinely set up for; if you do not, they are not coming.

The pet policy. Dogs are welcomed only on the "Paws, Play & Stay" package, not on standard room bookings. One dog per room, up to 40kg. The package (from around $310, so confirm current rates) bundles the room with a welcome pet amenity set, a pet bed, bowls and treats. Dogs must be accompanied in public areas and cannot be left alone in the room, so this suits a dog that travels calmly and stays with you rather than one that needs to be crated while you head out.

The place. It is a design-led boutique hotel with modern, recently renovated rooms and quiet, comfortable bedding, a decent base for a city stay with a dog in tow.

Location and nearby. Being in the city centre, you are within an easy walk of CBD footpath cafes that seat dogs outdoors, and of the small fenced Margaret Street off-leash yard for a quick run.

Before you book. Book the Paws, Play & Stay package specifically, confirm the current price and the 40kg limit for your dog, and plan your outings around the rule that dogs cannot be left alone in the room.
