kono hoteru nara, inu wo turete ikeru to omoimasu

Here なら means something like if it is this hotel or when it comes to this hotel.

It often has a nuance of selection or contrast:

• maybe other hotels do not allow dogs
• but this hotel probably does

So このホテルなら feels more like:

• This hotel should be okay
• If it’s this hotel, I think it will work

It is not just identifying the hotel; it is highlighting it as a suitable option.

Because このホテル is not being used here simply as a destination marked by に. It has been turned into the topic/condition with なら.

Compare:

• このホテルに犬を連れて行ける
  = can take the dog to this hotel
• このホテルなら、犬を連れて行ける
  = if it’s this hotel / as for this hotel, you can take the dog

In the actual sentence, the idea of to this hotel is understood from context, but the speaker is focusing on this hotel as an option, not just on the destination.

連れて行ける comes from 連れて行く, which means to take someone/something alive along or to bring along.

Breakdown:

• 連れる = to take along, to lead, to bring a person or animal
• 連れて = the -te form of 連れる
• 行く = to go
• 行ける = can go

So 連れて行く is a compound expression meaning to take along, and 連れて行ける means can take along / can bring along.

This expression is especially natural for:

• people
• pets
• animals

You would not usually use it for ordinary objects.

Because 犬 is the thing being taken along.

In 犬を連れて行く:

• 犬 is the object of 連れる
• so を is natural

A learner may expect が because 行ける is a potential form, and potential expressions often involve が. But here the structure is a little different: the important object relationship comes from 犬を連れて行く as a set phrase, and 犬を stays very natural.

So:

• 犬を連れて行く = take the dog along
• 犬を連れて行ける = can take the dog along

Because before と思います, Japanese normally uses the plain form of the verb.

So:

• 行けると思います = I think I can go / I think it is possible
• not usually 行けますと思います

This is very common in Japanese:

• 大丈夫だと思います
• 行くと思います
• できると思います

The sentence can still be polite overall because the final verb is polite:

• 思います

So the pattern is:

• plain form + と + 思います

It marks the content of the thought.

So:

• 犬を連れて行ける = can take the dog along
• 犬を連れて行けると思います = I think that we can take the dog along

You can think of と here as the marker that means that in a sentence like:

• I think that ...

This use is extremely common with verbs like:

• 思う = think
• 言う = say
• 知っている = know

Because と思います makes the statement softer and less absolute.

Compare:

• このホテルなら、犬を連れて行けます。
  = This hotel allows it / We can take the dog there.
  More direct, more certain.
• このホテルなら、犬を連れて行けると思います。
  = I think this hotel should be okay for bringing a dog.
  Softer, more tentative.

This is natural when:

• the speaker is not 100% sure
• the speaker is giving an opinion
• the speaker wants to sound less blunt

In this sentence, it most likely suggests be allowed to, even though the literal grammar is closer to can.

Japanese can forms often cover both:

• ability
• possibility
• permission, depending on context

Because the topic is a hotel and a dog, the listener will usually understand:

• This hotel probably allows dogs
• You can bring a dog to this hotel

So the nuance is not really about physical ability. It is more about whether the hotel accepts it.

Japanese often leaves the subject unstated when it is clear from context.

In this sentence:

• 思います tells us the thinker is the speaker: I think
• but the person who can bring the dog is not explicitly stated

Depending on context, it could mean:

• I think I can bring the dog
• I think we can bring the dog
• I think you can bring the dog
• I think people can bring dogs

In real conversation, the surrounding situation tells you which one is intended.

Because 連れて行く and 犬と行く are similar but not identical.

• 犬と行く = go with the dog
• 犬を連れて行く = take the dog along / bring the dog along

犬と行く focuses on accompanying the dog.

犬を連れて行く focuses on bringing the dog with you, which is especially natural when talking about pets, children, or other living beings under your care.

In a sentence about whether a hotel accepts dogs, 犬を連れて行く is the more natural choice.

Either can work, depending on the English viewpoint.

Literally, 行く is go, so 連れて行く is closer to take along.

But in English, when talking about going to a place like a hotel, people often say:

• bring a dog to the hotel

So:

• take the dog along
• bring the dog to the hotel

can both be good translations.

The Japanese does not force exactly one English choice here; the best wording depends on natural English style.
