A Brisbane getaway for you and the dog who was absolutely never going to be left behind. 

From today, luxury hotel Crystalbrook Vincent will welcome four-legged guests with the launch of 'Sit. Stay. Sleepover.', a new pup-friendly Brisbane stay package pairing bold riverside accommodation with dog-friendly amenities, in-room pup dining and walkies from Howard Smith Wharves to New Farm. 

Designed for travellers who would rather not spend their weekend in the doghouse for leaving their best mate behind, the package provides a stylish new way to enjoy the city. 

Half of Australian households now have at least one dog, with the country home to an estimated 7.4 million dogs nationwide — and pet ownership is still climbing. More travellers are looking for ways to take their four-legged family member along for the weekend, and Sit. Stay. Sleepover. is Crystalbrook Vincent's answer for the household that travels together. 

On arrival, Crystalbrook Vincent's four-legged guest receives their own VIP welcome, with a pup-friendly room set up with a cosy dog bed, Le Creuset bowls and a tasty treat. 

Humans, meanwhile, get everything Crystalbrook Vincent is known for: bold art-led interiors, a rooftop magnesium pool with river views, and the restaurants, bars and buzz of Howard Smith Wharves, Brisbane's most walk-able dog-friendly precinct, right outside the door. 

At brunch destination Mews, pups can enjoy a complimentary puppacino when their human orders coffee. For dogs with a little more appetite, the luxury hotel will also offer a gourmet in-room pup menu featuring dishes such as the Puppy Poke Bowl with poached salmon and vegetables, Beef Tartare with tenderloin, Chicken Dinner with sweet potato mash, and a Tasty Treat peanut butter, banana and oat biscuit. 

Shaun Allen, General Manager of Crystalbrook Vincent, said the package reflects the way guests are travelling now. 

“At Crystalbrook Vincent, we're surrounded by the best bits of Brisbane: the river, the bridge, the Wharves and that unbeatable outdoor lifestyle. It felt only right that dogs got an invitation too. 

“Sit. Stay. Sleepover. is for the guests who pack the dog's bag before their own. We've made it easy, comfortable and a little bit indulgent, because that is very Crystalbrook Vincent.”
