Question about particles

In my Japanese class I asked why a certain particle was used and the teacher misunderstood, so figured I’d come here next. Very new to Japanese, so apologies if there’s a mistake.

The sentence is:

犬はレストランとホテルのあいだ(に)います。

Why is the particle (in brackets) に and not が? We learned to use が with います/あります, but I’m thinking I misunderstood something.

Thank you!
