There's no reason to leave the dog at home when you want a spa weekend. More and more Nordic spa hotels accept dogs — here's how to find them.
Our favourites
- Copperhill Mountain Lodge, Åre — design spa on the mountainside.
- Upper House, Gothenburg — five-star spa with city views.
- Hotel St. George, Helsinki — art spa, two pets per room.
- Holiday Club Åre — water park, both dogs and cats welcome.
- The Thief, Oslo — art spa on the Tjuvholmen waterfront.
Practical tips
- Book a room further from the spa if the dog dislikes waiting alone.
- Ask whether the hotel can arrange a dog walker or sitter during spa time.
- Bring a familiar blanket — stress kills the spa weekend.
- Ask for a do-not-disturb sign on day one.
