What should I do with my pet at Christmas? Travel
10/12/2024
As of December 10, 2024, for many travelers, Christmas is all about celebrating with family. This is probably the reason why December is the month with the most pet-friendly stays in hotels, as many travelers consider them to be part of the family.
At least that's the case at Casual Hoteles, the Spanish chain that pioneered the option of reserving pet-friendly rooms on its website, just like it does for adults and children.
What is the profile of travelers with pets?
According to sources from the Valencian group, "in 2023, the peak in bookings for shared rooms with pets occurred in December. In that month, the pet segment's share was the highest of the year, reaching 4.23%. 48.6% of guests who stayed at the group's hotels in December of last year were Spanish, and the remaining 51.4% were international tourists, mostly from Italy, France, and the United Kingdom, with the former having the highest average price. In terms of type, almost all were couples."
These are the hotels that welcomed the most pets during Christmas 2023 :
Regarding hotels, the Casual Hoteles establishment that accommodated the most pets during the December long weekend and Christmas 2023 was Casual Las Olas San Sebastián, followed by Casual Con Duende Cádiz, Casual Vintage Valencia, and Casual Jazz San Sebastián.
Everything seems to indicate that these pet-friendly hotels could repeat this year as the favorites for pet lovers, especially in the case of Valencia, a destination that is struggling to recover from a tourist standpoint, despite the fact that the city and the main tourist areas are in perfect condition and need tourists to return now to reactivate the economy.
When pets are treated like another member of the family :
The secret to attracting this segment of guests who travel with pets lies in treating them as if they were a member of the family. That's why, at Casual Hoteles, pets receive a complimentary welcome kit upon arrival, which includes a sleeping bed, a food and water bowl, and a snack upon arrival.
Additionally, if you book through the website www.casualhoteles.com, your stay is free. Another distinctive benefit, demonstrating the attention the Valencian group pays to guests staying with pets, is that they allow up to two pets with a maximum weight of 25 kilos each. However, this last requirement is flexible and can be analyzed individually if any animal exceeds this weight.
Finally, it's worth highlighting the freedom that Casual Hoteles establishments give guests to allow their pets to roam the premises, provided they are accompanied by their owners, with one exception: they cannot enter the breakfast buffet.
If you don't want to be separated from your pets this Christmas, travel with a stay at one of the 25 Casual Hoteles properties in 13 destinations in Spain, Italy, and Portugal. We look forward to seeing you.

About Casual Hotels :
Casual Hoteles is a Valencian hotel company founded in 2013 by Juan Carlos Sanjuán, with the goal of becoming a benchmark for themed urban accommodations in Spain. All of its hotels feature unique decor inspired by the destinations in which they are located, and offer high-quality standards and central locations at affordable prices.
They are fun, surprising, and provocative, making Casual Hoteles a disruptive chain that, in 2018, was recognized with the Hostelco Award for “Best Hotel Concept”; in 2023, it won the First Prize for Sustainable Tourism from HOSBEC, in the category of “Best Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy”; and in 2024, it was chosen as the “Chain with the Best Corporate Social Responsibility” at the 14th Roca Awards for Hotel Initiative.
In this sense, the group also stands out for its policy of strong social and environmental commitment through its own Code of Ethics, and for its collaborations with NGOs such as Save the Children and UNICEF, among others. Currently, Casual Hoteles has 25 hotels and 854 rooms in 13 cities in Spain, Portugal and Italy, of which 1 is owned, 1 is managed, 15 are leased and 8 are franchised. In addition, it plans to add 2 new hotels in 2025 in Ibiza (42) and Naples (34).
