Nestled among the evergreen forests of Mashobra - about 10 km from central Shimla - Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels is a five-star property that formally welcomes pets. The hotel sits on the Naldhera Golf Course Road with unbroken views of Mashobra Valley from most rooms, a lush garden, and a picnic area where your dog can actually stretch out. At ₹1,500 per pet per night, it's not a budget call, but few five-star hotels in Himachal Pradesh will let your dog walk through the front door at all.

Pets are allowed at this property with an additional charge of ₹1,500 per pet per night. There are no breed restrictions in place. Pets may use outdoor areas including the garden, lawn, and picnic area, but must be kept on a leash in shared spaces such as the lawn, restaurant vicinity, and picnic area. Pet bowls are listed as an available amenity on site. Always confirm the current pet policy directly with the hotel before booking, as five-star properties occasionally update their guidelines.
What the property looks like for a pet parent
The hotel is set across landscaped grounds with a garden, picnic area, and outdoor furniture - enough space for a decent post-drive sniff and stretch. Pet bowls are listed among the property's general amenities. Rooms come with private balconies across most categories (Deluxe, Superior, Club, and Executive Suite), so your dog can sit out with you while you take in the valley air. The property offers valet parking and free on-site parking, which matters when you're arriving with a boot full of dog gear. Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out by 12:00, giving you a reasonable morning window before you have to load up.
Facilities that actually matter when you're travelling with a dog
Beyond the pet basics, the hotel carries a full five-star amenity list: a spa and wellness centre, fitness room, steam room, two restaurants serving multi-cuisine menus including vegan and gluten-free options, a cocktail bar, room service, 24-hour front desk, and concierge. Free WiFi runs across all areas. Packed lunches can be arranged - useful if you're planning a day hike from Mashobra with your dog. The hotel also offers bicycle rental, archery, and a games room for when your human travel companions need their own entertainment. Daily housekeeping keeps the room in order even on longer stays.
Location and getting around
The address is Village Patengali, Tarapur P.O., Mashobra - a quieter pocket than central Shimla, which means less traffic noise for dogs who are sound-sensitive. The property is approximately 31 km from Shimla Airport and 9 km from Jakhoo Temple. Road access is straightforward via the Naldhera Golf Course Road. Forest bathing and bird choirs come included with the location - the lower Himalayan tree cover around Mashobra is genuinely thick, and the property leans into this with its grounds. If you're driving up from Delhi or Chandigarh, the hotel's free on-site parking and valet service mean arrival with a dog is genuinely hassle-free.
