Pet-Friendly Hotels for Man and Man’s Best Friend

For pet owners, the joy of heading out on a vacation is often dampened by the sadness and guilt associated with leaving a furry best friend behind. Thanks to an array of pet-friendly hotels across the country, you’ll never have to leave a four-legged member of the family at home while traveling again.

Loews Hotels

The existence of the Loews Loves Pets Program means that, for pet owners, staying at a Loews hotel is always a smart choice. The company’s hotels offer customers loaner pet beds, litter boxes, litter, scoopers, scratching posts and other accessories, as well as gourmet room service pet menus, dog-walking routes, pet-sitting or pet-walking services and a list of local pet-friendly restaurants in your destination.

If you’re traveling to Philadelphia, Pa., San Diego, Calif., Atlanta, Ga., New Orleans, La., and many other U.S. cities, visit loewshotels.com and book a room without feeling guilty for leaving your beloved pet in a kennel or with a sitter.

Kimpton Hotels

All of Kimpton’s hotels welcome dogs with beds, treats and toys, and many properties even have their own pooches, making the hotel chain perfect for pet owners on-the-go.

The company’s Hotel Monaco in Alexandria, Va., hosts a dog happy hour twice a week where your furry friend can feast on complimentary treats and water while you enjoy some alcoholic treats of your own. For New York City-bound travelers, stay at Kimpton’s The Muse Hotel and sign up for a pet package that includes a welcome basket of treats, a dog umbrella and a just-for-dogs mani-pedi.

Hyatt Regency, Scottsdale, AZ

If you’re headed for Arizona, check out the Hyatt Regency’s 4paws program, which starts with an introduction to the resort by Uno, the hotel’s canine ambassador, and continues in the room with a custom-made bed and fleece-covered pet pillows. The 4paws “beastro” menu includes organic dry dog food and specialty treats.
