QT Bondi – A Luxe Dog Friendly Hotel Stay by the Beach
Bondi is loud, messy, alive. QT takes that chaos and sharpens it into something stylish. Dogs fit right in at this beach getaway.
Inside QT Bondi it feels less like a hotel and more like someone bottled up Bondi’s mood and poured it into four walls. Sunlight bounces off big windows, surfboards lean against polished concrete and bold colours cut through clean lines. It’s playful without trying too hard. The lobby hums with a mix of locals and guests and you’ll probably spot a dog curled up in the corner while someone orders a coffee. The rooms carry the same energy – beachy but sharp, comfortable but not predictable. It’s Bondi, dialed into design, with space for your pup to settle right alongside you.
QT Bondi isn’t about grand entrances. It’s colour, light and the hum of the beach creeping through the doors. You’re bound to see some salty paws here.

Our Take
QT Bondi doesn’t just tolerate dogs, it rolls out the red carpet – or in this case, the memory foam CUB bed. This is Bondi with bite: a hotel that understands your dog isn’t baggage, but part of the adventure. From the cheeky Pup Yeah! room service menu (yes, bacon ice-cream is a thing) to a Strut Your Pup map that feels like an insider’s guide for four legs, the whole experience is drenched in Bondi’s eccentric, playful energy.
This isn’t the quiet “pat your pooch on the head and move along” style of pet friendly. It’s bold, a little cheeky and entirely at home in one of Sydney’s most vibrant suburbs. If you’re the kind of person who thinks your dog deserves the same level of boutique indulgence you do, then QT Bondi has already thought of you.
Why We Recommend QT Bondi
Because QT Bondi gets it. Travel isn’t the same without your dog and here they’ve baked that belief into every detail. The Pup Yeah package isn’t just a gimmick – well, maybe it is, but it won us over! It’s full of thoughtful touches, from boutique grooming products to a pet map that actually helps you live the Bondi life with your pup. Add in the hotel’s playful design, beachside location and a team that doesn’t flinch at the sight of a wagging tail in the lobby, and you’ve got more than a pet friendly hotel. You’ve got a destination worth travelling for.
