At Excel Hotels & Resorts, we recognise that pets are an integral part of many families. When pets are allowed, we strive to keep our guests and their pets comfortable in their accommodations, while ensuring that our guests and other guests are kept clean, safe and comfortable.
No pets are allowed unless approved by the individual property. When making a booking, guests are required to verify the pet policy of the selected Excel Hotels & Resorts hotel.
