Here we feature a wide range of hotels from around the world that all have one thing in common; they all have something to write home about, so we have! The Hotel Hound has sniffed out the best hotels from the four corners of the globe to bring you hotel heaven in a hamper (actually it’s a website not a hamper, but that wouldn’t sound as good)

Split into three sections, the Kennel Klub is always the place to start. From the Edinburgh Fringe Festival to the pick of the best beach holidays, every holiday begins at your own Kennel.

Then there’s your Own Back Yard, or Europe as it says on a map, from skiing in Scandinavia to sun sea and, err, sand in Turkey it’s all there. Whether you book months in advance or take a late deal, these hotels are the dog’s proverbials.

Finally, looking Further Afield to far flung places like the neon lights of Tokyo to the azure seas of the Caribbean, and who can miss Walt’s own playground; Disneyland.

We hope our featured hotels will inspire, astonish and surprise you, and sometimes you can even get a good late deal to these places. Pick one of these fine hotels and you can be virtually certain of a little extra je ne sais quoi, as the French say.

But do remember that we’re just the Hotel Hound, not a weather hound, or noisy-neighbour hound, or builders-starting-at-stupidly-early-o’clock hound so don’t blame us, just make sure to spill all the beans in the Heartbreak hotel section.
