Pet-Friendly Family Hotels in Munich
5 family-friendly hotels with pet friendly in Munich . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Munich is one of Europe's easiest cities to visit with both kids and a dog. Trams allow dogs, beer gardens welcome them under the table, and most parks let them off-lead. These five hotels all do more than tolerate pets — bowls, baskets, baby gates, and staff who don't act like the dog is an inconvenience. Three sit centrally for walking-tour convenience, two pick the suburbs for proper grass and a calmer ageing dog. All five offer family rooms and have rated above 8.9 from at least 600 reviews. None charge a pet supplement above the standard €15 nightly fee.
Munich is dignified rather than dramatic. The Altstadt is compact, Marienplatz hosts the glockenspiel show twice daily, the English Garden runs through the city like a green spine, and beer gardens are democratic family spaces where toddlers eat bratwurst and dogs sleep under benches. October's Oktoberfest is the loud exception. May, June and September are the families-with-pets sweet spots — sunny enough for outdoor everything, cool enough for thicker coats.

🐕Why Munich works with kids and dogs
Pet-friendly Munich hotels split into two camps. The Altstadt cluster (Hotel Torbräu, The Charles Hotel) puts you walking distance from Marienplatz and the food markets — convenient for sightseeing but slightly intense for older or nervous dogs given crowded pavements. The suburb option (Parkhotel Rothof in Bogenhausen, AMERON Motorworld in the eastern depot district) gives you actual gardens, fewer crowds, and a calmer ageing dog. Hotel Kriemhild am Hirschgarten splits the difference next to Munich's biggest beer garden park.
Pet welcome kit varies more than you'd expect. Three of our five (Torbräu, The Charles, AMERON, Parkhotel Rothof) provide bowls and a basket on request, with a treat at check-in. Hotel Kriemhild keeps it simple — no kit, no fuss, no surcharge. None of the five charge an excessive pet supplement; expect €15-25 per night which goes toward extra cleaning. All five accept dogs of any size as long as they're well-behaved and on a lead in common areas.
Parent's take
If your dog is young and energetic, central hotels work — your kids will burn off energy on Marienplatz cobbles and the dog will love the smells. Older or anxious dogs do better at Parkhotel Rothof's gardens or Hotel Kriemhild's Hirschgarten location. The Charles is the upgrade pick, AMERON the unusual pick, and Hotel Kriemhild the wallet-friendly default.

Five-star option overlooking the Old Botanical Garden. Pets allowed with full kit — bowls, basket, and a treat at check-in. The garden setting means dogs have proper grass within 30 seconds of the door, which matters more than any spa amenity when you travel with one.

Why families love Rocco Forte The Charles Hotel
We expected the pet welcome to be a polite formality at this price point and got the opposite — a name card on a small basket, a treat for the dog, and clear walking-route info from concierge. The Old Botanical Garden across the street is perfect for early morning sniffs. Family rooms are huge by Munich standards. The Sophia restaurant served kids' meals without making a fuss about it.

Inside Munich's Motorworld complex — a converted railway depot with classic cars on display, surrounded by green corridors that suit dog-walking. Family rooms, kids' meals, and pet bowls and basket as standard. A short tram ride from central Munich, perfect if you hate inner-city traffic with a dog in tow.

Why families love AMERON München Motorworld
An odd-but-great choice. The hotel sits inside the Motorworld classic car museum, so kids who like vehicles get a free attraction on the doorstep. Dogs get fresh air on the green strips around the depot. We got a family room with a dog-friendly hard floor (no carpet, easier on muddy paws). The morning buffet had decent sausages and the staff brought us a bowl of water without being asked. Tram into the centre is 12 minutes.

Three-star value pick next to the Hirschgarten — Munich's biggest beer garden and a green park where dogs can stretch their legs all day. Pets allowed without surcharge, family rooms available, and the price stays under €150 a night even in summer. The S-Bahn into Marienplatz is one stop.

€115/night
Why families love Hotel Kriemhild am Hirschgarten
Best value of our list. The Hirschgarten next door has a fenced dog area, a real fallow deer enclosure that kept the kids fascinated, and the famous beer garden where dogs are very welcome under the chestnut trees. The hotel is small and basic but clean, and the family room had four beds in proper proportions. No frills, no pet kit, just a friendly 'sure, bring the dog' attitude that's worth more than scented towels.
Hotel Torbräu
Munich
Excellent
3,292 reviews
Munich's oldest hotel — family-run since 1490 — sitting next to the Isartor city gate. Pets allowed with bowls and basket on request, and the staff genuinely like dogs visiting. Walking distance to Marienplatz, Viktualienmarkt food stalls and the English Garden.

€398/night
Why families love Hotel Torbräu
We brought our cocker spaniel and he was the unofficial mascot for the week. The receptionist set up a water bowl in the lobby corner and the doorman made friends on day two. The room was small but quiet (rear courtyard) and the breakfast buffet had a corner where dogs were welcome under the table. Babysitting service is available too which we used one evening for the Hofbräuhaus run.
Parkhotel Rothof
Munich
Excellent
1,292 reviews
Suburban-quiet hotel in Bogenhausen with full pet welcome including bowls and basket, plus a small spa and wellness setup. The eastern Munich location means actual gardens to walk in rather than concrete pavements, with the U-Bahn into the centre under 20 minutes away.

€253/night
Why families love Parkhotel Rothof
We picked the suburb option because central Munich pavements are busy and our older dog isn't a fan. Parkhotel Rothof's grounds are actual gardens where she could potter happily. Family rooms are spacious and the staff lent us a baby gate for the bathroom. The spa was a nice rainy-day backup. Restaurant menu is German-traditional and they happily prepared a plain chicken plate for the dog.
💡Booking tips for pet-friendly stays
- 1Munich's tram and S-Bahn system allows dogs without a separate ticket. Small dogs in carriers ride free, large dogs need a child fare ticket. Buy a Streifenkarte multi-pack at the airport for cheaper rides — the family three-day pass at €19 covers two adults and three kids plus dogs.
- 2Beer gardens are dog-heaven but humans need to plan: bring a clip-on lead loop, water bowl, and avoid Saturday lunchtime crowds. Hirschgarten and Augustiner-Keller are the two most dog-relaxed spots — staff bring water without asking and tables have shade through the day.
- 3Hotel pet supplements range from €0 (Hotel Kriemhild) to €25 per night (Charles Hotel). Confirm at booking, not check-in. Some properties charge per pet, others a flat rate per stay — a long weekend can mean €100 difference depending on policy.
- 4The English Garden is huge but the section north of the Kleinhesseloher See has the calmest off-lead area for older dogs. The southern section near the Chinese Tower is busier but families congregate there because the playground sits next to a beer garden — it's the parent-multitask zone.
- 5Late-spring and early-autumn are the comfortable months. July and August bring Oktoberfest setup crowds and August thunderstorms; January is reliably grey. May and September are when Munich peaks for both kids and dogs.
