The Best Pet Friendly Boutique Hotels in Spain in 2026

La Residencia is a stunning boutique hotel in everyone’s favourite Mallorcan mountain town, It’s a truly gorgeous location, studded with charming traditional houses and a gorgeous little town centre. The hotel comprises two beautiful stone mansions, perched hillside, looking out towards the northern coast. The buildings have been around for centuries, and they feel fully part of the landscape. The hotel of it all has created a resort-y atmosphere with a large pool and plenty of common areas. Yet, the historical weight of the stone gives a sense of timeless… > Read Our Full Review

Barcelona’s only Relais & Chateaux, partially housed in a 12th-century palace, Hotel Neri fits like a glove into the city’s Gothic Quarter. The building is a legitimate gem. The original courtyard and sgraffito walls offer great examples of the type of architecture that makes the neighbourhood so charming. We’ll admit to being slightly disappointed with the rest of the decor. And we’re not just grouchy, period-crazed damask and brass lovers. We just think the hotel’s contemporary style could do a better job mixing with the building’s historical charm. The quality,… > Read Our Full Review

A landmark that’s eye-catching from literally every angle, URSO’s building in Madrid alone is enough to warrant a stay. Get ready to wander grand staircases, then, and admire the exquisite stained-glass. You’ll even find some wall paintings that look like they could feature in the opening credits of White Lotus. And the So Fancy You Could Make Biting Social Satire About It vibes extend throughout URSO. There’s a lot of white and gold, contemporary opulence designed to complement the grand neoclassical architecture. It does it beautifully, if a bit predictably…. > Read Our Full Review

In a 15th-century building on the north side of Seville’s Barrio Santa Cruz, lies this very highly rated, 5-star, boutique hotel. Casa Palacio Don Ramón is a gorgeous old palace-like house, named after its original creator, Don Ramon. Well maybe. Not a lot is known of the man, from any source, and he may be a touch mythological, but the story goes that he built this lovely palace for his guests and visitors to Seville. It has undergone extensive renovations to maintain continuously evolving standards, of course. The stone is… > Read Our Full Review

BRACH Madrid on Gran Via, is an iconic building on an iconic street. It’s all sweeping white stone covered in carvings and filled with luxury antiques. BRACH, of course, is a French brand, born in Paris, but slowly pushing rhizomes through the streets of Western Europe’s favourite capitals (next up: Rome). But, that’s not the only connection. This 1922 building was built over the house where Victor Hugo spent a brief spell as a child. BRACH Madrid is rich yet homey, as unpretentious as a 5-star hotel with a fabulous… > Read Our Full Review

Set in a 17th-century Palacio on the thoroughly romantic Calle Corral del Rey, Hotel Corral del Rey blends neatly into its surrounds. The hotel isn’t actually that eye-catching from the exterior, straight walled and solid. This makes the sweeping atrium, stunning terrace, and original architectural details feel more clandestine and personal. Much is of the now inside. Yet, it’s all done in a softly tangible fashion that makes that tension between past and present a thing of beauty. It’s a low key hotel and, with so much attention to atmosphere,… > Read Our Full Review

With it spiral staircases and pristine white stone, Santo Mauro, in Chamberi, looks like it might have been designed by Disney, for adults. And who knows, maybe the Duke of Santo Mauro, creator of the original 19th-century palace, was the Walt of his time. It does seem even more romantic and opulent than your standard 19th century palace. Yet, we think it’s more just about the exceptional condition of the building. Converted into a hotel in the 90s, then incorporated into Marriot in 2011, Santo Mauro does have some elements… > Read Our Full Review

Gran Hotel Inglés, Madrid, seems like a blueprint for a luxury, historic boutique hotel. You get the feeling other hotels saw this one and decided that’s the way to go about it. Or perhaps it was the other way around? No, we think the former. So, there’s nothing dramatically unique about it, but there’s an overall sense of grandeur and stately elegance that is hard to replicate. Thanks to some recent renovations, there’s an additional contemporary chic to most of the spaces. Again not unique but done perfectly. The restaurant… > Read Our Full Review

This idyllic retreat, less than an hour south of Seville, puts you halfway to the coast and fully into relaxation mode. Hacienda de San Rafael is a super-intimate hotel, with only 14 rooms, but occupies the entirety of an old olive estate. The concept was born in 1989, after the building, and presumably its surroundings, had fallen into disrepair. The current collection of wood beams, thatched roofs, and lush gardens emerged through an incredibly thoughtful renovation. The owners were dedicated to maintaining the original spirit of the estate, and now… > Read Our Full Review

Concepció by Nobis occupies a renovated 16th century soap factory on the edge of Palma’s Old Town. It’s classic Balearic on the outside, classic pan-European boutique on the inside. As a member of Design Hotels, you can be confident that the levels of taste and luxury are high. And they also bring a bit of that universal contemporary cool that unites so many boutique hotels. Makes sense, considering the Swedish design firm that headed the project. This means sacrificing more than a bit of the historical charm and local feel… > Read Our Full Review
