Hotel Can Penedès is more than a conventional boarding kennel. It is a dog hotel in Catalonia focused on the animals’ emotional and physical wellbeing and on giving their families peace of mind. We are in a privileged natural setting in El Vendrell, an hour from Barcelona and just thirty minutes from Tarragona—a convenient location for families looking for a trusted dog hotel away from city stress.
When a family leaves their dog with us for a few days or weeks, they are looking for more than somewhere to stay. They want their dog to be cared for, understood and comfortable. At Hotel Can Penedès, we understand that concern: often the person feels the separation most keenly. We think about the days until we return and how our dog will experience the stay. Dogs, however, live in the present. When their day is positive, safe and stimulating, they are content.
We do not think of a dog as simply “waiting” here; we want the stay to be an experience. At Hotel Can Penedès, dogs follow a clear, balanced routine adapted to their needs. They play, run, spend time with compatible companions, rest when it is time and receive attention throughout the day. The aim is a calm, engaging stay without boredom.
To help them settle in, we recommend a free visit before a long stay. Your dog can get to know the space, the team and the surroundings, so it feels less unfamiliar when the stay begins. Many families add a first day at day care or the hotel so their dog can experience the full routine.
This preparation helps many dogs arrive happily, calmly and keen to come in on a later visit. During the stay, we send videos so families can see how their dog is doing and spending time with the other dogs.
When the family returns, the dog can resume their home routine as usual. We want the stay to be a positive part of their life, associated with play, movement and wellbeing—a holiday for the dog while their family enjoys theirs.
We have 14,000 m² dedicated to dogs’ wellbeing, with a pool, play areas and brick-built rooms, heating in winter and air conditioning in summer. Places are limited so we can provide personal, attentive care.
When needed, we can arrange to collect a dog from home. Ask us about availability and the conditions for this option.
