Tripadvisor is proud to launch the new hotel subcategory in partnership with CESAR® Canine Cuisine, part of the Mars, Incorporated family of brands, that’s helping to make the world a more dog-friendly place. The top pet-friendly hotel in the world is Hotel Fioreze Quero Quero in Brazil, which boasts over 2 acres of open space for you and your furry best friend to explore.
The No. 1 pet-friendly hotel in the US is the Hyatt Centric Las Olas Fort Lauderdale which allows pets on every floor and in the outdoor garden sitting area, so they too can bask in the Florida sunshine.
“We believe that the best life is shared between dogs and pet parents, so we are excited to help unlock more experiences of togetherness between people and their pets,.” said Jean-Paul Jansen, senior vice president of marketing, Mars Petcare North America. “This new pet-friendly category is such a great way to spotlight more destinations where dogs and pet parents are welcomed together on their travel adventures.”
Sustainable: While hotels across the globe are making collective efforts to become more sustainable, hotels dedicated to reducing their environmental footprint in unexpected ways are capturing traveler attention. In the category of sustainable hotels on Tripadvisor, Buahan a Banyan Tree Escape in Bali garnered the most traveler excitement, ensuring its place as the No. 1 sustainable hotel in the world. Guests are astounded by the luxury jungle resort’s “no walls, no doors” design, breathtaking views, sustainably grown food and exceptional service.

The Emerald Maldives Resort & Spa tops the list of the best wellness hotels in the world. This all-inclusive sanctuary with a vibrant atmosphere is characterized by themed nights and cultural immersion. Deemed an “oasis of bliss,” the resort offers a full spa, gym and sports center, diving center, water center, and more.
