Dog Friendly Hotel Chains – Traveling with your pet doesn’t have to be expensive. It’s always a good idea to do a little research and find out how and where you can save. Everyone loves a deal! Also, if you can save a little “here” you can spend a little “there.”
As pet parents, we love to take our pets whenever and wherever. Packing up your pet and heading out for adventure, relaxation and recreation, or just some bonding time is a great way to escape the stresses of everyday life. The good news is that you can do this on a limited budget. That’s right, traveling with your pet doesn’t mean you have to spend a lot of money.
Dog Friendly Hotel Chains
One of the biggest ways to save is to find pet-friendly hotels. Comparing pet fees when deciding where to book accommodation can save you a lot of money. Pet fees start at $50/night/pet. Contrary to popular belief, pet fees do not always depend on the type of accommodation. Generally, individual hotels within a chain set their own pet policies. However, there are brands with more extensive policies – some of which allow pets to roam freely. There are upscale boutique hotels and mid-budget hotels that don’t charge pets.
Several Hilton Hotel Chains Become Pet Friendly Across The Us And Canada, But Fees Are Criticised
Not only is the Red Roof Inn pet-friendly, but its rates are budget-friendly. Also, their locations are conveniently located near major highways – making them a great place to stay overnight while on the road.
This pet chain offers the lowest prices of any national chain. Motel 6 is an American chain of pet-friendly hotels. Motel 6 loves pet guests, which is why they are always pet-free!
If you’re looking for an upscale boutique hotel for you and your pet, book a stay at Aloft. In addition to pet-free accommodations at most (but not all) locations, pets will be accommodated through Aloft’s ARF (Animals R Family) program. The ARF program allows pets to enjoy pet beds, bowls, dog food and toys during your stay.
This hotel group really puts the ‘friendliness’ in pet friendly hotels! Kimpton Hotels is a chain of luxury boutique hotels that not only accept pets for free, but also accept any type of pet, any size or any breed. Additionally, Kimpton Hotels rolls out the red carpet for pets. They offer comfortable pet beds, food bowls and special treats at all of their hotels. Additionally, many properties offer pet sitting and dog grooming and pet concierge services. Because we love to travel with our dogs Oscar and Sadie, it’s important to know which major hotel chains allow pets. Years ago, we found a hotel chain that was more dog friendly than others, so they always go to us when booking hotels. Big selling point: Dogs are always free. You are allowed to leave your dogs alone in the hotel room as long as they do not disturb other guests. Sold!
Taking Your Dog To Europe From Singapore
However, since then, I think the big hotel chains have caught on to the fact that Americans want to travel with their pets. Therefore, they had to be very friendly with the animal-loving guests. Of course, many hotels always accept service dogs and do so for free.
Now that I’ve covered the major dog-friendly airlines and pet-friendly airports in the United States, I figured it was time to cover the pet-friendly hotel chains. As I wrote about traveling with your dog in this article, we already know that some brands accept pets. These include Aloft (part of the Marriott family) and Kimpton (part of InterContinental Hotels or IHG).
But what about all the other big chains like Marriott and IHG? Here’s what I found among the top 10 hotel chains:
The Marriott Bonvoy family consists of several different brands. These include the aforementioned Aloft hotels.
Pet-friendly Hilton Brands In 2024 [policies, Deposits, Size]
According to Marriott’s page on pet-friendly hotel brands, these are the most pet-friendly brands:
Although these places are marketed as pet-friendly, dogs are not always comfortable. Marriott may refuse to accommodate your pet based on the weight or breed of your pet. So check in advance before booking.
“Furry friends are family, which is why we welcome them with open arms and belly rubs at more than 5,000 hotels in the U.S. and Canada.”
Here are some of the Hilton hotels where you will have no problem booking a room with a pet:
The Best Dog-friendly Hotels In The U.s.
Now, pets don’t stay free at Hilton hotels. Whenever we stayed at the Hilton Hotel with Oscar and Sadie, we had to pay a fee for each pet. Rates range from $50 per pet per night to $75 per pet per night.
For many years, my mother-in-law lived in New York City, so we often went to visit her and spend Christmas with her. We could not live with him as he lived in a small apartment. So, we had to stay in a pet-friendly hotel. However, since it was always difficult to find a dog walker on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, the time we could spend with him was limited.
Then we found out about the pet policy at IHG (Intercontinental Hotels Group) hotels, especially the Kimpton hotels in Manhattan. We all lived in them in New York City.
If the Kimpton team can help us find a dog walker, if needed, they let us leave Oscar and Sadie alone in the room after we checked out. As I said before yes, as long as they don’t disturb the other guests.
Pet Friendly Hotels Where Pets Stay Free
Also, since we are Rewards members and have an IHG credit card, we did not pay for the dogs to stay with us. Note: The hotel mentioned in my Instagram story above is no longer part of the Kimpton chain. It’s still called the Ink 48 Hotel and it’s still pet-friendly. However, I don’t know if they have the same rules as Kimpton.
Choice Hotels International and its brand pet policy allow pets in most areas, with certain restrictions. According to their website, these types of Choice Hotels are:
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has a page on their website for pet-friendly properties. This includes rooms at LaQuinta, Days Inn, Super 8, Travelodge, Ramada and Howard Johnson.
Most hotels charge a non-refundable fee between $25 and $75 per night and are limited to a limit of two pets per room. The combined weight of the pets must be less than 74 pounds.

Pet-friendly Western brands include Best Western, Best Western Plus, BW Premier and SureStay Hotel Group.
Most Hyatt brands, including Hyatt Place and Hyatt House, accept dogs up to 50 pounds. There is usually a non-refundable fee of $75-150 per stay. Also, some hotels allow up to two dogs weighing less than 75 pounds.
I could not find any official pet policy for Radisson hotels in the US. There seem to be pet deals at hotels overseas but not in North America. I’ll keep digging. Also, if you represent a Radisson brand or chain and would like information on our pet policy – including a link – please contact us.
Pets are always welcome at Red Roof Inns and Red Roof Plus+ properties. From time to time, Red Roof will offer special pet packages, such as: Use code 628690 when booking your VP pet room and you’ll save 10%.

Some Red Roof Inn brands have weight limits and/or restrictions on the number of pets per room, including their human family. Also, at HomeTowne Studios by Red Roof, pet policies may vary by location and fees may apply.
The Accor hotel chain is an international brand. However, there are some Accor properties in the United States under the Sofitel brand. Sofitel brands seem to welcome dogs with open arms, including in-house meals, free stays and discounts at nearby grooming salons.
Of course, if I missed something, let me know by posting a comment. For example, if there are any other pet-friendly hotel chains in the US or Canada, let me know what they are and I’ll consider adding them to this article.
