Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Raja Sansi is one of the very few five-star properties in Amritsar, Punjab, that formally accommodates pets , dogs and cats both. Located on Ajnala Road near the Raja Sansi area, the hotel sits close to Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport, making it a practical stopover for pet parents flying into or out of Amritsar, or a comfortable base for exploring the Golden Temple city without leaving your pet behind. The property operates under ITC Hotels' Welcomhotel brand, which sits in the upper-upscale segment, and carries LEED Platinum certification , an uncommon standard for any hotel, let alone a pet-friendly one.
✓ Verified by the Pet Friendly Places team
Welcomhotel Amritsar has a detailed, formally published pet policy on the ITC Hotels website. The hotel confirms pets are allowed in guest rooms across room categories , including Deluxe Rooms, Superior Rooms, Executive Club rooms, and Suites , all of which list "Pet Friendly" as a room feature. A non-refundable pet charge applies (amount to be confirmed with the hotel at the time of booking), and a signed Pet Declaration / Pet Waiver form along with current vaccination records must be presented at check-in. Advance notice of at least 48 hours before arrival is mandatory.
The Pet Policy , What You Need to Know Before You Arrive
ITC Hotels has clearly put thought into this policy rather than just ticking a box. The 48-hour advance notice requirement exists so the hotel can make specific arrangements for your pet's stay , this is not a formality, so do call or email ahead. At check-in, you'll need to present proof of all current vaccinations and sign a Pet Declaration / Waiver form , a downloadable version is available on the ITC Hotels website. arriving prepared with your pet's vaccination records will make the check-in process smooth and unhurried.
Your pet must remain on a leash of no more than six feet, or in a carrier, whenever outside your room. The hotel provides designated pet relief areas on the property , owners are expected to use these and to clean up after their pets. Pets are not permitted in the food and beverage outlets, the communal pool, the fitness centre, or any meeting rooms. Pets must not be left unattended in rooms at any time during the stay. The hotel also notes that it can ask a pet to be removed from the property after a second reported disturbance incident, so guests with anxious or vocal dogs should plan accordingly.
A non-refundable pet charge is collected at check-in , this covers post-departure deep cleaning of the room. If additional cleaning is required due to soiling of linens, carpeting, or furniture, extra charges may apply at management's discretion. The hotel is clear that this judgment rests solely with management on departure, so it's worth ensuring your pet is clean and well-groomed before arrival. The policy also mentions that select pet meals will be available at the hotel at additional cost, or you are welcome to bring your own pet food , a useful flexibility for dogs on specific diets.
The Rooms , Pet-Friendly Across All Categories
What stands out here is that the pet-friendly designation is not restricted to a single room type. The hotel's own booking engine lists "Pet Friendly" as an in-room feature across four distinct room categories: the Deluxe Room (30 sq m, garden view, from approximately ₹9,000 per night on flexible rate), the Superior Room (30 sq m, Kothi or garden view), the Executive Club Room (30 sq m, pool or Kothi view), and the Junior Suite (45 sq m, Kothi view). All rooms include a day bed, Smart TV, walk-in closet, in-room safe, and bath tub or shower cubicle. The suites also include a 4-fixture bathroom and bath tub as standard.
The larger Junior Suite at 45 sq m gives you meaningfully more floor space if you're travelling with a larger dog who needs room to settle. The suite rate on a flexible rate with breakfast starts at ₹15,500 per night (excluding taxes and fees) as of the time of listing , member rates via Club ITC can bring this down significantly. All rates listed include breakfast, and Club ITC members receive an additional 20% discount on food, soft beverages, spa and salon during their stay.
Location and What's Around
The hotel is situated in Raja Sansi, approximately 11 kilometres from Amritsar city centre and very close to the international airport. arriving in Amritsar with your dog and heading straight to the hotel is genuinely practical here , the proximity to the airport removes a long post-flight drive with a pet in a carrier or crate. The area around Raja Sansi is open and relatively uncongested compared to the dense lanes near the Golden Temple, which means the hotel grounds are likely quieter and more manageable for dogs sensitive to noise and crowds.
The Golden Temple, Jallianwala Bagh, and Wagah Border are all accessible from the hotel by car. Note that none of these landmarks permit pets, so plan for your dog to remain at the hotel with a trusted companion or use the hotel's in-room rest time if you're doing heritage sightseeing. The hotel does not offer pet-sitting or boarding services as confirmed in the policy , pets must be with the owner at all times on property.
What to Confirm Before Booking
The exact per-night or per-stay pet charge amount is not published on the ITC Hotels website and must be confirmed directly with the hotel at the time of booking. Call 0183 281 4444 or reach out via the hotel's website to get the current pet fee, confirm room availability for your travel dates, and register your pet's details 48 hours in advance. Also worth confirming: whether specific rooms on lower floors (preferable for dogs needing frequent bathroom access) can be requested, and whether there is a weight or size restriction on pets , neither of these details appears in the published policy.
