The Inchcolm by Ode Hotels

The Inchcolm by Ode Hotels is a heritage boutique hotel on Wickham Terrace, Spring Hill, and one of the few Brisbane city hotels with a proper dog package rather than a grudging yes. Dogs under 30 kg stay in designated pet-friendly rooms with a bed, bowls and treats waiting on arrival.

The pet policy. Dogs up to 30 kg are welcome, with a maximum of two per pet-friendly room. The fee is AU$100 per pet, per night, and you must book the designated dog-friendly package or room type - you cannot simply turn up with a dog on a standard booking. The package includes a plush dog bed, food and water bowls, toys and treats. Cats are not permitted. Fees and inclusions can change, so confirm the details at booking.

The place. A 1920s heritage building turned boutique hotel, with loft rooms, a complimentary mini bar and live jazz in the bar. Guests consistently rate the welcoming staff, which matters more than usual when you are walking a dog through a lobby.

Location and nearby. Wickham Terrace sits on the CBD's northern edge, so you are walking distance from the city without the Queen Street crowds at the door. Victoria Park Fenced Dog Park is about a kilometre away for a fenced off-leash run, and Knowhere Brisbane takes dogs at its footpath tables for a steak dinner.

Before you book. At $100 per pet per night the fee stacks up quickly, so this suits a one or two night city treat more than a week-long base. Weigh your dog honestly against the 30 kg limit - a big shepherd will not squeak through. Book the pet room type directly and confirm inclusions when you do.
