Pet-friendly hotels are not unheard of. Hotels with animals in residence, on the other hand, are a somewhat obscure concept. In case this is the first you’re hearing of this, and you’re wondering what it’s all about — it is exactly what it sounds like. Around the world, there are hotels that house permanent guests in the form of animals in residence.
“What kind of animals?” You may ask. Whilst domesticated animals like cats and dogs dominate the animal kingdom in the hospitality industry, several hotels also billet more exotic creatures like peacocks and flamingoes.
These luxury hotels go the extra mile to ensure that their human guests are accompanied by adorable animal guests. If you’re a lover of animals, we highly recommend considering booking a stay at one of these unique properties for your next trip.

Le Bristol Paris, France
Of course, Paris is on the list. And, of course, the animal in residence for the Paris property is a French feline named Socrate. Although Socrate is genetically a Burmese cat, his elegance and sophistication are those archetypal of a Parisian. The predecessor was the current resident’s father, Fa-raon. The seven-month-old kitten has purred his way into everyone’s hearts, and has been described as “very happy, a good listener, and curious about the world around him, if not a little shy.”
Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort, Aruba
Let’s now embark on a journey to the Caribbean. Keeping in theme with the exotic nature of the island country, the resort’s animal residents are flamingoes. Beautiful, bright, bold birds. Guests can book a session with the prepossessing pink flamingoes for photos and feeding. Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort occupies a 40-acre tropical paradise referred to as ‘Renaissance Island.’ If you want to pay a visit to Flamingo beach, this is the place to be.
Capella Singapore, Singapore
