14 Dog-Friendly Hotels to Visit This Year

Vacations are a time to unwind, indulge and pamper yourself, but it can be hard when you have to leave your furry companion behind. Luckily, these dog-friendly hotels across the U.S. invite you to bring Fido along for a getaway that's equally relaxing for you and your pet. Whether you want a beach town escape, a city adventure or a mountainous getaway, one of these stays is sure to be the right fit. Read on to plan your next trip for the whole family — four-legged members included.

For the urban canine, ModernHaus Soho in NYC offers a VIP (Very Important Pet) package that includes a bed and bowls to use during your stay and a tote bag to carry all of Fido's essentials during your jaunt around the city. The package also includes 25% off all services at one of SoHo's top doggie daycare centers, Pupculture, for when you and your furry friend need a little time apart.

At the Detroit Foundation Hotel, pets get to take part in the building's history as a restored 1920s firehouse with their very own fire hydrant chew toy. The hotel's professional pastry chef also crafts house-made treats daily for pups to enjoy in the old-school lobby or while perched on their complimentary dog bed in their guest room.

Few luxury hotels cater to pets quite like The Peninsula Beverly Hills. Pooches are treated to personalized towels, over-the-top doggy beds and a menu that includes dishes like Zoe's Beef Burger and Brutus' Filet Mignon. They can bask in the sun or enjoy the cool California nights on their private terrace when staying in the Patio Deluxe pet-friendly rooms. If that's not enough pampering for your pup, Fido can get his endorphins up with a complimentary walk courtesy of the hotel's white-uniformed pages.

As a member of the Sonesta International Hotels brand, The Benjamin participates in the chain's PAWS (Pets Are Welcome At Sonesta) program in collaboration with pet gear brand Fable Pets. Furry companions are treated as VIPs with a MiniBar*k in the lobby that offers complimentary treats and are given a water dish, feeding bowl and waterproof mat for in-room use. Leashes, bandanas, pet waste bags and other supplies are also available for purchase at the pet marketplace.

Your pup won't be lonely when visiting The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch, nestled in Colorado's Rocky Mountains. Presiding over the lobby are resident canines Bachelor, a St. Bernard, and Scout, a Bernese mountain dog. Canine visitors can join their owners on hikes in the summer and aprés-ski time around the fire pit in the winter.

Tucked in the Catskills of upstate New York, Scribner's Lodge is just as much a getaway for dogs as it is for humans. The motor lodge turned summer-camp-style inn greets tail-waggers with a custom bandanna that indicates how social they are (green if they are ready for pets or red if they are on the shyer side). Pets are allowed in any part of the hotel and are provided dog tags, toys and treats, of course.

When they're not living it up inside, pups and their humans can explore trails in the mountains and woodlands nearby. Scribner's even hosts an annual "Pupstater Weekend" — an entire two days dedicated to spoiling Fido.

Located in Nashville's West End neighborhood just steps from the heart of Music Row, the Hutton Hotel has exciting offerings for humans and pets alike. Owners can enjoy the boutique hotel's restaurant, Evelyn's, then head to its music venue, Analog, for a night of tunes. Meanwhile, pets can pamper themselves in-room with complimentary water and food bowls, a cushy bed, guiter-shaped toy and welcome treats. As part of their Paws-itively Perfect program, the Hutton Hotel also supplies guests with a three-day itinerary filled with dog-friendly activities around Nashville.

Luxurious with a playful twist, this downtown Seattle spot is perfect for dogs of all shapes and sizes, with no size or weight restrictions. On arrival, your pup will be presented with a comfy bed, bowl, treats, bottled water and disposable bags. Bonus: All Kimpton hotels are pet-friendly, and there's no extra charge for bringing your furry bestie along.

Pups who enjoy a scenic view will love the InterContinental Boston's waterfront location in the Boston Harbor. The hotel offers four-legged travelers all of the same essentials as humans, including a plush bed, delicious room service (owners can order dishes like the Bark Burger and Peanut Butter Pupcake from Mr. B’s Bone Appétit Menu) and a guide to dog-friendly waterfront walks — plus some pet-exclusive extras like a custom souvenir bandana.

The Belgrove Resort & Spa takes pet pampering as seriously as any other amenity offered at the luxurious hotel. To ensure a five-star pet experience, they tapped Chewy to craft a lineup of stellar experiences for guests' furry friends. Pups can lounge at the pool (sunnies optional), indulge at the pet lounge stocked with deluxe treats and toys from Chewy and dine on dishes like the Ground Bovine (beef tartare or a patty cooked to your dog's liking, with rice and egg) from a specially curated pet-friendly menu.

At The Langham Huntington, Pasadena, guests have the option to add the hotel's dog program to their reservations for an extra $150 fee. Pups will receive the in-room use of a luxurious Elle-Woods-approved pink porcelain pet bowl, a plush pink bed and pillow, box of treats and a chic branded bandana. Just select the 'Doggie Program' at checkout when booking, and you and Fido will be on your way to a luxurious escape.

Few places have as many dog-friendly activities as Telluride, Colorado, a quaint mountain town with seemingly as many canine residents as human ones. The Hotel Telluride is one of the best pet-friendly hotels in town, offering pups a welcome bag with treats and a list of nearby dog-friendly activities. Dogs are allowed nearly everywhere in Telluride, from the numerous hiking trails to the sky-high gondola that connects the town with the ski area at nearby Mountain Village.

With magical, winding grounds, your pup is sure to find peace and relaxation at El Encanto. The southern California hotel offers bowls and monogrammed beds for their furry guests, and doormen keep treats on hand for a little bit of extra spoiling. They even offer a healthy array of Fido-friendly, in-room dining options like chopped chicken, unsalted steak, scrambled eggs and steamed vegetables.
