Punthill Spring Hill

Punthill Spring Hill is a serviced apartment hotel on the Brisbane CBD fringe that officially welcomes dogs, one of a handful of pet-friendly apartment stays within walking distance of central Brisbane. Studios and apartments with kitchens make it practical for anything from one night to a longer stay with the dog.

Dogs at the Punthill Spring Hill

Dogs of any size are welcome on request, but this is a dogs-only policy, so no cats, and the fee is substantial: listings show an extra charge around $250 per accommodation per stay, treated as a cleaning fee. Service animals are exempt from restrictions and fees. You must request pet accommodation in advance and agree to the property's pet rules, which cover noise, restricted common areas and leaving pets unattended, so register your dog with the team before arrival.

Some third-party listings claim dogs stay at no extra charge, which conflicts with the official line, so book direct or phone ahead to confirm the fee and which room types take dogs. Punthill publishes its own guidance on managing long stays with pets, which suggests the brand takes travelling dogs seriously rather than merely tolerating them.

The place

Studio and apartment rooms come with kitchenettes, and many have balconies, plus a pool, gym and lift access. Guests rate the clean, spacious rooms, though bathrooms in the studios run small. A kitchen means your dog eats their normal food on their normal schedule, which is half the battle on a city stay.

Getting there and parking

Spring Hill sits immediately north of the Brisbane CBD, so you can walk to the Queen Street mall end of town in fifteen minutes or catch a train from Central. Parking is on site.

While you're out there

Victoria Park Fenced Dog Park is an easy walk away for a fenced off-lead run, Knowhere Brisbane does dog-friendly meals nearby, and The Sedgebrook on Leichhardt is another pet-friendly option in the same suburb if the fee pushes the budget.
