Coming soon

Hotels for dogs
and the people
they bring.

Plenty of hotels will take a dog. Very few are planned around one. Wagstaff will be a small group of city hotels where the dog is expected in every room and catered for by the kitchen, with good people to look after them while you're out.

We're building the first one now, and the founding list will help us choose the city.

The rooms

Rooms laid out around a proper dog bed

Each room will have a bed built to the size of your dog, raised bowls and a hook for the lead by the door. The larger rooms will have a boot room with a warm shower for muddy paws after a wet walk.

The Day Club

Somewhere good to spend the day

Every Wagstaff will have a garden where dogs spend the day with trained handlers in small groups, so you can go to the gallery, the match or a long lunch. We'll send a photograph at noon.

How it will work

The Wagstaff Way

What every hotel will be built around

A bed of their own

An orthopaedic dog bed in every room, sized to your dog when you book, with dog towels and raised bowls.

The Day Club

Supervised day care in a garden, in small groups matched by size and temperament.

The dog's kitchen

A short menu for dogs, cooked fresh. Or bring their usual food and we'll serve it at their usual times.

The Parlour

A groomer in the building, by appointment, for a wash and dry before the journey home.

Walks

Morning, afternoon and evening walks led by people who know the city's parks and paths.

A vet on call

A partner practice close by and open around the clock, with your dog's records on file before you arrive.

Eat & drink

Dinner with the dog under the table

Each hotel will have a restaurant and bar open to everyone, cooking seasonal local food, with room under every table for a dog. A bowl of water will arrive with the bread.

Questions

When will the first hotel open?

When we've found the right building in the right city. We'd rather take longer and get that right. Founding members will hear first.

Where will it be?

We're looking in Manchester, Edinburgh, Bath, York and London. The cities people choose on the founding list will shape the decision.

How much will it cost?

We expect rooms to start at around £300 a night, including breakfast for you and your dog, a dinner from the dog's menu and a day at the Day Club.

Will there be a size or breed limit?

No. If your dog is very large, we'll give you a room with more floor space.

Can I stay without a dog?

Of course, though you should expect to meet quite a few.

The founding list

Be first through the door

Founding members will get first choice of dates when the first hotel opens, a founding rate on their first stay, and their dog's profile on file before they arrive. Tell us which city you'd visit first and it helps us decide where to open.
