Hotel Indigo Melbourne on Flinders by IHG

Hotel Indigo Melbourne on Flinders is an IHG boutique hotel near Southern Cross Station, and it is one of the few CBD hotels that takes a larger dog. One dog up to 40kg is allowed per room, which opens it up to big breeds that most city hotels turn away.

The pet policy. One dog up to 40kg is permitted per room under a specific pet-friendly package, and all pet rooms sit on Level 1. Dogs are allowed in the Lobby Lounge but must not be left unattended in guest rooms. The package must be booked by calling the hotel directly. The fee is usually quoted when you book the package.

The place. Reviewers note a modern fit-out with an atrium, comfortable beds, a photo booth and spacious rooms. It is a design-led boutique stay near the western edge of the city.

Location and nearby. Sitting near Southern Cross and the free tram zone, it is walkable to the Docklands waterfront promenades and the Yarra paths for on-leash walks.

Before you book. Call the hotel to book the pet package rather than booking a standard room, confirm the 40kg limit and the fee, and remember dogs cannot be left alone in the room, so plan your day around that.
