Travelling Together: Discover MHR Pet-Friendly Destinations in the US and UK

The Joy of Travelling Together

More and more people are opting to take their four-legged friends along with them on vacation. Whether you’re planning a dream getaway or a relaxing weekend stay, pets make excellent travel companions. They bring comfort to the road and can inspire you to try new things, from hiking in nature to seeking out dog-friendly cafes.

As travel trends evolve, hotels are increasingly opening their doors to furry family members. With this new way of travel, you can wake up in a new city to explore parks with a morning coffee like a local. Or, you could enjoy a peaceful, misty morning walk together at a countryside hotel. These are the moments that make pet travel so special, by sharing in big adventures and enjoying the simpler things.

Millennium Hotels understands that “your pet is part of the family”. With pet-friendly rooms and spaces to dine together, pet packages are conceived with care, comfort, and heart. Whether exploring the historic streets of Boston or the leafy city parks of Cardiff, Millennium Hotels' warm hospitality will ensure that your whole family, paws included, will feel at home.

A Lakeside Retreat at Copthorne Hotel Cardiff-Caerdydd

If your idea of bliss involves forest and lakefront walks, the Copthorne Hotel Cardiff-Caerdydd is a perfect match. Located in the outskirts of the city, this dog friendly hotel in Cardiff is situated right beside a lake. This is the perfect spot to explore Southeast Wales or enjoy easy access to Cardiff’s centre, where you’ll discover the city’s dog-friendly castle, pubs, and beaches.

You can start your morning with a lakeside walk before hopping in the car for a grand adventure. Nearby highlights include the lush Cosmeston Lakes Country Park, a haven of flat wildlife trails some 8 miles southeast of the hotel. Heading north, you can discover the tranquil forest Fawr, a gorgeous ancient woodland and UNESCO Global Geopark that’s perfect for off-leash roaming. If your dog is more of a sea-breeze lover, head to the iconic Barry Island, a Welsh coastal gem for all the family.

At the Copthorne Hotel, a Millennium Hotel’s Pet Staycation package ensures that you’ll be well looked after. With a comfortable bed, bowls, and treats, you'll all feel instantly at home. Whether you opt for an off-leash adventure or explore Cardiff’s pet-friendly city centre, the Copthorne Hotel provides modern comfort and serenity, with a cosy bar to unwind in together as you prep for the next day.

City Adventures with Your Pet at The Bostonian Boston

Downtown Boston boasts a treasure trove of walkable streets and city parks that are perfect for inquisitive noses. At The Bostonian Boston, you'll be perfectly placed to soak it all in from one of the best pet friendly hotels in Boston. You’re mere moments from Faneuil Hall Marketplace, where you can grab a bite with your pet in one of the mall’s many pet-friendly patios.

Morning walks are particularly magical here. You can start your day strolling along the Rose Kennedy Greenway, a ribbon of parks that snakes around the central district. Or, head straight to Boston Common, the start of the historic Freedom Trail, where you can discover off-leash lawns for your pup to let off steam. While many of the Freedom Trail's museums won't allow dogs inside, you can still soak up the revolutionary story through the centuries-old streets.

Inside the Bostonian Boston, you'll discover spacious, pet-friendly rooms that are thoughtfully equipped with pet bowls and beds, so you can all feel right at home. It’s the perfect place to unwind after a day exploring Boston's parks, with friendly staff at hand if you need any more local pet recommendations.

Insider Tip: If you find yourselves exploring the walkable North End district, pop into the delicious and dog-friendly Cafe Amalfi.

Two Destinations, The Same Pet-Friendly Philosophy

Whether you're tracing revolutionary history through Boston's cobblestone streets or heading further back in time at the 11th-century Cardiff Castle, both hotels offer the same spirit of hospitality at heart. This simple but sweet philosophy ensures that every stay will make you all feel at home.

Millennium Hotels has crafted this reputation for thoughtful service that extends to guests with paws and wet noses. Pet-friendly rooms are easy to find and book online, with clear policies that remove any guesswork. Staff are trained to welcome pets as warmly as guests, and can offer skilled guidance on nearby parks, trails, and cafes that may come in handy.

And because every journey starts with good prep, here's our recommended pet-friendly packing list to ensure an effortless stay:

• Your pet’s favourite blanket or toy (comfort in a new place)
• Leash, harness, and waste bags
• Food and treats for the trip
• Collapsible food and water bowls
• Pet grooming brush
• A towel for the car (if travelling to national parks)
• A travel bed if your pet prefers their own

Book a Quiet Evening Together

As the day winds down, there's a special feeling when returning to your Millennium Hotel room. With a friendly nod from staff and perhaps a nightcap beside your dog, you can both curl up after hours exploring a new place. Watch the city lights or lakeside ripples from your window as you sink into a chair with a sense of calm that comes from travelling with your favourite companion.

With Millennium Hotels, every journey feels a little more like home, so book your pet-friendly stay today and ensure your whole family feels rewarded.
