Traveling with pets has never been easier thanks to a growing number of pet-friendly hotels that cater to your furry companions as much as they do to you. From luxurious pet amenities like plush dog beds and room service pet menus to convenient pet-walking services and dedicated play areas, these hotels ensure that your pets are pampered and comfortable throughout your stay.

Dash and I have stayed at all of the following establishments and can vouch each one is as friendly (if not more friendly) to dogs as they are to human guests. That said, each hotel has different policies, so it’s good to check with the hotel website (and perhaps email the reservation desk) for any related fees, weight restrictions, etc. Just because they’re pet friendly doesn’t mean they don’t charge a pet fee.

That said, Dash travels with me as a psychiatric service animal as I have a neurodevelopmental condition. Within the United States under the ADA, service animals can stay free at any hotel, without exception. There is a similar policy in Canada under the ACA. Mexico does have a comparable policy, but it doesn’t extend this guarantee. While most hotels I’ve visited are dog friendly, occasionally there are a few resorts that don’t even allow service animals, so you need to double check before booking.

For service animal owners, note that the hotel is allowed to ask you two questions (more info here), and they may ask to see a rabies vaccine certificate. It’s always easier to contact the reservations desk ahead of arrival and give them a heads up so you can have a smooth check-in experience.
