In recent years, there’s been a major uptick in pet-friendly travel driven by consumer desire to include furry family members in vacation plans. Luckily, hotels have responded accordingly. Nowadays more and more properties are welcoming pets and showering them with a royal treatment typically reserved for their human counterparts.
Brands like Kimpton Hotels and Virgin Hotels reign as the ultimate torchbearers in upscale pet-friendly hotels. Kimpton’s straightforward, all-welcome, no-fee policy began decades ago with the first property in San Francisco and now extends to 59 domestically. Virgin Hotels’ has wonderfully lenient, no-cost policies at select outposts. At the same time, plenty of independent hotels and smaller brands have opened their doors to four-legged guests—and have Instagram-ready amenities, special pet-dining menus, and adorable canine ambassadors to prove it. But, terms, conditions, and fees are still worth noting when planning a pet-friendly stay.
Here, we highlight 15 properties that stand out from the pack in today’s growing pet-friendly hotels universe. While emphasis has been placed on dog-friendly accommodations, some welcome non-canine companions, too. You’ll bark (or purr) with approval!
