Traveling to New Delhi with a dog or cat changes the hotel search. Not every property in the city allows animals, but a solid cluster of pet friendly hotels in New Delhi does-concentrated mainly around Aerocity (near Indira Gandhi International Airport) and the leafy diplomatic enclaves of Khan Market and Vasant Vihar. Budget expectations vary: an ibis room near the airport starts around ₹6,500 per night, while a five-star stay at the JW Marriott Aerocity or Andaz Delhi typically runs ₹18,000-₹30,000. Most pet-accepting properties in these zones offer free on-site parking, airport shuttles, and outdoor areas for morning walks. Confirm the pet policy (weight limits, fees, and leash rules) before booking, as many Aerocity hotels require advance notice and charge a one-time cleaning fee.
For quick airport access, Novotel New Delhi Aerocity and Pullman New Delhi Aerocity both sit within 10 minutes of Terminal 3 and provide dedicated pet-friendly floors, plus 24-hour front desks for late check-ins. In the city centre, Ambassador, New Delhi - IHCL SeleQtions (next to Khan Market) is a heritage property from 1947 with a balcony in every room-useful for letting your pet get fresh air without leaving the building. Jaypee Vasant Continental, near the upscale Basant Lok market, offers jacuzzi tubs in select rooms and a large lawn area around the property. For longer stays, the Novotel Aerocity has family rooms and a 24x7 sports bar, though the outdoor heated pool is for humans only. Book directly through the hotel website for the best cancellation terms, and ask about ground-floor rooms-these are quieter and make late-night bathroom trips easier.
