For pet parents, no getaway is purr-fect unless we get to pat and cuddle with our four-legged kids while waiting for the next episode of Modern Family on Netflix to load.
On top of being beautifully furnished and comfortably nestled within walking distance from sandy beaches, popular attractions, and endless shopping options, the pet-friendly hotels on this list deserve a special place in our hearts for making staycations with our furry companions paw-sible.

Capella Hotel
Tucked away in the sunny island of Sentosa, Capella is the perfect amalgamation of colonial elegance and architectural sophistication with a contemporary twist. Planted in the midst of lush tropical greenery with the blue foamy sea of the South China Sea at its doorstep, the swanky king-size bed, rainforest showerhead, and panoramic view from the balcony allows one to indulge in a momentary pleasure that’s often familiar only to the upper echelons of society.
Mmm...Atas.
For dogs with an infinite level of energy that rivals that of nuclear power plants, the expansive compound of Capella is the perfect weekend getaway both owners and pets can enjoy.

Located on Orchard Boulevard, Four Seasons Hotel has everything a pet-cation needs. With gigantic shopping malls and a myriad of dining options all within walking distance, the urban sanctuary is ideal for guests looking to pamper themselves and their pets with the opulent comfort this five-star hotel has to offer.
Upon entering the room, guests will be greeted by a brightly-lit room with large glass windows allowing ample sunlight to pour through. The room is furnished to the hilt, with a 65-inch LED TV, a massive king-size bed, and air purifiers and hand sanitizers for extra protection. For history and nature lovers, the rooms are decorated with a muted colour palette that reflects the influence of the nearby UNESCO World Heritage, the Singapore Botanic Gardens. On top of the main area, the fully marble bathroom is impeccably-furnished with a giant bathtub that’s large enough for both owner and pet to have a bubble bath.

Owners with more than one fur kid no longer have to make the difficult choice of only bringing one of their pets along. Up to 2 pets are allowed with Intercontinental’s Paw-fect Weekends staycation package ($465/night).
