AUSTRIA
Beautiful Austria. While Germany is well-known as a very dog-friendly country, Austria is right behind. Head directly south to German-speaking Austria for a destination which is almost, if not equally, dog-friendly, and the standard EU rules apply to travelling to Austria with your dog. When in Austria, dogs are welcomed in many restaurants and cafes. Despite this, always ask for permission to enter with your dog, and it’s probably appreciated in summertime that you dine on the outdoor terrace, of which there’s plenty to take advantage of the evening sunshine!
It’s quite easy to find dog-friendly accommodation in Austria. This applies to all types of accommodation, from luxury hotels down to simple guesthouses and Airbnbs. Here are some recommendations for dog-friendly luxury- and boutique hotels in Austria.

At the 25hours Hotel Vienna at MuseumsQuartier, guests are submerged in a bold circus of artists, clowns and elephants. The hotel is their stage.

And the very best part - dogs are welcome at the 25 Hours Hotel Vienna for only a 20€ fee.
