Dog Friendly Stay at View Hotel North Sydney
Harbour views for you, teepee dreams for your pup.
High above North Sydney’s streets, View Hotel delivers exactly what its name promises – sweeping harbour vistas that make you pause. But this isn’t just a city escape for humans. With the Pooch Package, dogs check in to their own teepee bed, a snack box of treats, toys to take home and all the essentials for a comfortable stay. It’s a polished hotel experience where your pup is more than welcome – they’re part of the view.

Our Take
The View Hotel is all about balance – polished enough to feel like a treat, but not so buttoned-up that you’ll feel out of place arriving with a dog. The Pooch Package is generous, the pricing is straightforward and the staff have built in just enough playfulness to make it feel welcoming. For travellers who want harbour views without leaving their pup at home, it’s a solid choice.
Why We Recommend View Hotel North Sydney
Because it proves harbour views don’t have to come with stiff formality. The Pooch Package makes it easy to travel with your dog, with clear options to suit your budget and room type. Add the location – close to the bridge, trains and local parks and you’ve got a stay that’s practical, comfortable and still a little bit special. For anyone who wants their pup by their side while soaking up Sydney’s harbour, View Hotel ticks the right boxes.
