Best Pet-Friendly Hotels and Flats in Bauru

Stays in Bauru

Travellers driving long distances with a dog want a garden and a ground-floor exit more than they want a lobby. Falcon Hotel delivers both, with a sun terrace, a garden and an inner courtyard on a quiet street, free on-site private parking and full-day security, sitting 104 km from Marilia Airport. Copaiba Palace Hotel adds a garden and a traditional Brazilian restaurant serving dinner, with free private parking off-site. Both hold ratings above 8.3, both serve a buffet breakfast, and both keep a 24-hour front desk for arrivals that run late off the highway. Falcon's quiet-street position is the difference for an animal unsettled by traffic noise.

Families combining a pet with children usually need the pool as well, and four Bauru addresses cover both. Hotel Nacoes Plaza has a rooftop swimming pool, a lush garden, balconied family rooms and an electric vehicle charging station. Comfort Hotel Bauru sits 400 metres from Bauru Shopping with an outdoor pool, a fitness centre and free private parking, holding the highest guest rating in the city. Astron Hotel Bauru by Nobile takes pets alongside its semi-olympic lap pool near Avenida Getulio Vargas, and Blue Tree Towers Bauru has a pool a kilometre from Bauru Shopping.

Budget travellers with an animal have fewer choices anywhere in Brazil, and Bauru's answer is Ipe Rosa Hotel. It is the cheapest bed in the city, 850 metres from the USP Centrinho hospital and a kilometre from the Vitoria Regia park, with automated check-in, free WiFi, tiled floors and a breakfast buffet with seasonal fruit and natural juices. Rooms and dormitories alike have tiled floors, which is easier to clean after a muddy walk than the carpet in the older central hotels. Anyone bringing a pet should book a private room rather than a shared dormitory and confirm the arrangement directly with the property.

Bauru is a car city built around the highways that cross the interior paulista, which is precisely why it suits travellers with animals: almost everything has parking, and the residential bairros are wide, low and walkable at dawn. The Vitoria Regia park gives dogs somewhere real to run within the city limits. Evenings on Avenida Getulio Vargas concentrate the bars and restaurants, while the streets around the Bauru Cathedral empty early and stay quiet.
