WOW Crest, Indore - IHCL SeleQtions

WOW Crest is a full-service hotel in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, operating under the IHCL SeleQtions brand — Taj Hotels' curated collection of distinctive properties. Located on AB Road in Scheme No. 54, one of Indore's more established commercial corridors, the hotel brings a branded hospitality standard to a city that doesn't have many pet-friendly hotel options at this tier. For pet parents travelling to Indore for work or leisure, this is one of the few confirmed pet-friendly stays in the city where dogs are welcome inside the guest room itself.

The Property

WOW Crest sits on AB Road, which is one of the main arterial routes through Indore and puts the hotel within easy reach of the city's key commercial and retail areas. As an IHCL SeleQtions property, the hotel is positioned at the upper end of Indore's accommodation spectrum. Google reviewers consistently describe the property as beautiful and well maintained, with multiple 5/5 ratings highlighting the quality of in-room dining and breakfast variety. One reviewer specifically named Chef Vinay for attentive food service — a detail that matters if you're travelling with a dog and need meals brought to the room rather than eating in a restaurant.

The hotel's location on a busy commercial road means this is an urban property — don't expect lawns or open grounds for your dog to roam freely. What you're getting is a well-run city hotel where your dog is genuinely welcome in your room, which is a meaningful distinction in a city where most hotels still turn pets away at the door.

Pet Policy — What's Confirmed and What Isn't

The confirmed policy is straightforward: pets are allowed in private rooms. This means your dog stays in the room with you, not in a kennel, not in a separate facility — in your room. This is the most important thing for most travelling pet parents, and WOW Crest clears that bar.

What we haven't been able to confirm yet: the pet charge amount (it may be a per-night surcharge or a one-time fee — UNKNOWN at time of listing), any weight or size limits on dogs, and whether specific room types are designated for pet-staying guests. Given that this is a branded hotel under IHCL, it's worth calling the property directly on 0731 671 1111 or checking at the time of booking to get the current pet policy in writing. Pet policies at branded hotels can change seasonally or by room category.

There is no information available from our sources about whether the hotel has a pool and, if so, whether dogs are allowed near it. Based on the urban commercial setting, open lawn access for dogs is unlikely — but this should be confirmed directly with the property.

What We Haven't Confirmed Yet

To be transparent about the gaps in what we know: pet charges (amount and structure), breed or size restrictions, designated pet-friendly room categories, whether there are in-room pet amenities such as bowls or beds, and whether there are any walking areas immediately adjacent to the property. Indore is a large city and AB Road is a busy thoroughfare, so planning your dog's walking routine in advance — ideally identifying a nearby park or quieter street — is worth doing before you arrive. The hotel team can likely advise on this when you call to confirm your booking.

Reviewers describe the reception staff as warm and the in-room dining as reliable — both of which matter when you're travelling with a dog and need flexibility around mealtimes and room service rather than structured restaurant dining.
