This is a dog lovers dream.

If your idea of heaven involves getting away for a few days, with a four legged companion by your side, then this is the hotel for you.

A hotel that doubles as a foster home for dogs exists - and it looks amazing.

And better yet, you can even adopt a dog straight through the hotel if you happen to fall in love and want to give a pooch its forever home.

The hotel in question is the Home2 Suites by Hilton in D'Iberville, Mississippi, and they take in one foster dog at a time through a program called Fostering Hope, reports Insider.

Guests can do everything from take the dog for walks to hang out with them in their hotel rooms overnight.

"[The guests] were missing something, I could see it," Teresa Johnston, director of sales at the hotel, told Insider.

"They were missing home, and they were missing animals. I thought, 'why can't we put the two together?'"

Sixty dogs have found homes since the hotel began the dog foster program in 2018.

We think all hotels should consider implementing this policy, there'd certainly be a sharp uptake in the amount of people taking hotel breaks!
