People in Munich love dogs. More than 46,000 of them live in our beautiful city and hopefully feel just as right at home here as we do. However, if you ever want to leave the city for a few days with your pets, you ’ll face the challenge of finding dog-friendly accommodations. In that case, the Seehotel Moldan can help. The self-proclaimed “Dogotel” doesn’t just tolerate your four-legged friends—it gives them at least as much attention as it does you.
Making a virtue out of necessity
Owner Michaela already ran a guesthouse in Bad Griesbach before the Dogotel opened, without a specific focus on dogs. However, when she wanted to travel with her own pet, she realized how difficult it is to find a hotel that allows dogs. She then decided on the spot to run a pet-friendly guesthouse herself. That marked the beginning of what is now the Seehotel Moldan, located in Postmünster.
Only people with dogs can book a room at the Dogotel—which is the complete opposite of what happens at other accommodations. Dogs stay for free, so you only pay for yourselves and your human companions. The family that runs the hotel also has eight dogs of their own, who look after the guests here alongside their owners. The hotel has been around for more than 20 years and has made over 30,000 four-legged friends happy during that time.
Going Dog-Crazy at the Dogotel
The Dogotel’s amenities are, of course, especially dog-friendly. In addition to the beds for the two-legged guests, there’s a separate bed for the four-legged ones where they can get cozy at night. The ground-floor rooms come with a garden area where your dogs can enjoy a bit of exercise. In general, there’s no leash requirement for the dogs except during mealtimes. But in return, not only will you enjoy fresh meals every day—your furry friend will, too. Dogs can choose from three different menus and get ice cream for dessert, which you can pick up at the dog boutique. The boutique, in turn, stocks everything you could possibly want in terms of treats, accessories, and toys.
You can try this out right away, either in the pool or in the open spaces of the hotel and the surrounding area. The Dogotel is the ideal spot, especially for dogs who love the water. Not only is the hotel’s own pool accessible to your four-legged friends, but they can also swim in nearby Lake Rottauensee. In fact , the dog beach is right near the hotel , and you can take a trip there . If you enjoy attending the dog swimming day at the end of the outdoor swimming season in Munich, then you’re sure to have a great time here.
In addition, your pets can let off steam on the agility course or take a class at the dog school. And if you want to relax a bit yourself, head to the spa area for a massage or body treatment. For the dogs, there’s a physical therapist on-site at the Dogotel. If you ’re not only looking to relax yourself but also want to treat your pets to something special, then the Seehotel Moldan is the perfect place for you. Thanks to its proximity to Munich, it’s ideal for both a weekend getaway and a longer trip.
