While some pups don\u2019t seem to care, many of ours spend the night trembling, hiding, or trying to escape. Here is our list of firework-free new years hotels in and around the Netherlands to escape with your dog!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After seeing how stressful it was for our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justtravelous.com\/en\/best-doggy-day-care-pet-sitting-netherlands\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"13220\">dog <\/a>one year, we decided to find an alternative \u2014 somewhere calm, safe, and (mostly) firework-free new year. It took a bit of research, but I\u2019m happy to report that there are good options around Amsterdam where you and your furry friend can have a peaceful New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what worked for us, and a few other places to consider that worked for our dog friends if you want to skip the fireworks next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Firework-Free Holiday Parks and Hotels in the Netherlands<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019d rather completely leave the city behind, there are several firework-free holiday parks and hotels around the Netherlands where you can stay with your dog over New Year\u2019s Eve. These book up really fast (sometimes as early as September or October), so it\u2019s best to reserve well in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few great options to check out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/booking.tpk.lv\/pui4t5wy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hilton Amsterdam Airport Schiphol<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/booking.tpk.lv\/uW8ge6GH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Radisson Blu Amsterdam Schiphol Airport<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.topparken.com\/fireworks-free-holiday-park\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Topparken Firework-Free Holiday Parks<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotel-met-hond.com\/vuurwerkvrije-hotels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hotel met Hond \u2013 Firework-Free Hotels<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lekkerwegtips.nl\/vuurwerkvrije-parken\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lekker Weg Tips \u2013 Firework-Free Parks<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.landal.nl\/aanbiedingen\/vuurwerkvrij\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Landal GreenParks Firework-Free Options<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchen.com\/new-years-eve\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dutchen Firework-Free Holiday Homes<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.holidayparkhofvansalland.com\/fireworks-free-holiday-park\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hof van Salland Holiday Park<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.europarcs.com\/discover\/fireworks-free-holiday-parks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Europarcs Firework-Free Holiday Parks<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hofparken.nl\/en\/holidays\/firework-free\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hofparken Firework-Free Holidays<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.glampings.com\/en\/fireworks-free\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Glampings Firework-Free Escapes<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you prefer a cozy forest cabin, a glamping tent, or a full-service hotel, these places offer quiet surroundings where your dog (and you) can actually relax.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.justtravelous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0230-640x640.jpg\" alt=\"dog smiling in Amsterdam with a firework-free new years\" class=\"wp-image-18333\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Staying at the Hilton Schiphol Airport with Your Dog<\/strong> for a Firework-Free New Years<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After trying to find somewhere in or around the city that wasn\u2019t in the middle of fireworks madness, we ended up at the Hilton at Schiphol Airport \u2014 and it turned out to be a great option!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I was researching beforehand, there wasn\u2019t much info online about what it\u2019s like to actually stay there with a dog during New Year\u2019s Eve, so hopefully this helps someone else looking for a quieter option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/booking.tpk.lv\/pui4t5wy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hilton Schiphol Airport Booking<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What It\u2019s Like<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You pay an extra \u20ac55 for your pet (you don\u2019t get any extras for that \u2014 just the ability to bring them). Technically, the hotel allows up to two pets with a combined max weight of 35kg, but no one checked during our stay. The woman at reception even mentioned that about 50 dogs were registered at the hotel that night \u2014 so clearly we weren\u2019t the only ones with the same idea!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Eating Out (or In) with Your Dog<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can take your dog to the lobby bar and the ground-floor restaurant.
