Dog-Friendly & Pet-Friendly Hotels in Puy-de-Dome (department)

For many visitors, the Puy-de-Dôme department is defined by its volcanic landscapes and historic spa towns. The star attraction is the Chaîne des Puys, a line of dormant volcanoes you can hike or take a scenic train up for breathtaking views from the Puy de Dôme summit. The region’s thermal heritage shines in towns like Royat and Saint-Nectaire, where you can soak in naturally heated waters. Don’t miss the historic capital, Clermont-Ferrand, with its dramatic black lava stone cathedral and the Place de Jaude square at its heart.

This area suits active travelers and culture seekers perfectly, with plenty for families and couples. Clermont-Ferrand offers the widest range of hotels and is a practical base with good rail links to Paris and Lyon. For a more relaxed stay focused on nature and wellness, consider the smaller towns around the Parc Naturel Régional des Volcans d'Auvergne, which are best explored with a car.

On HOTEVI, you’ll find around 11 hotels across the department. Accommodation is diverse, ranging from budget-friendly chain hotels in Clermont-Ferrand to charming, family-run guesthouses in the volcanic highlands and a few upscale spa resorts in the historic thermal stations.
