Pet Friendly Hotels in Nainital
3 verified pet-friendly hotels in Nainital
Nainital's biggest challenge for a dog isn't finding a hotel that allows pets, it's finding one away from the crowds around Naini Lake and Mall Road, especially on weekends. The verified hotels here split cleanly along that line.
The Imperial Green sits right above Mall Road in Mallital with lake-facing rooms and a two-minute walk to the promenade, a small eight-room boutique property with no pet charge confirmed. Aamod Feather Touch, near Raj Bhawan in the quieter Tallital end of town, has a structured pet policy with designated rooms, bowls and a mat provided on arrival, though larger breeds need prior approval and the exact fee varies by stay length. The Fern Villas sits higher up in the Ayarpata Hills above Mallital, away from the lake entirely, with a straightforward ₹500 per day pet charge and access to quieter forest walking paths.
If your dog finds crowds and traffic stressful, the hill properties above town are the better fit. If you want to be able to walk straight out to the lake, the Mallital option puts you right there, just expect to keep your dog leashed through the busier promenade stretches.
