Come Find Out the Best Pet-Friendly Hotel in Your State


"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Everyone needs a change of scenery every once in a while—including pets! (Not to mention that leaving your four-legged BFF behind to go on a family vacation can be really hard.) That's why we set out to find the best pet-friendly hotel in every single state in the U.S. (plus Washington, D.C.!)—and you'll be happy to know that so many properties want to welcome your furry friend. In fact, in some cases, we had to give honorable mentions to a second hotel per state.

So, what exactly makes a pet-friendly hotel the best? Well, for starters, it welcomes your four- (and sometimes two-) legged friends—joyfully, and with arms wide open! But for many of the hotels on this list, they do a whole lot more than just allow Fido to share your pillow at night.

Rhode Island's Ocean House, for example, offers wildly plush beds. Illinois' Peninsula Hotel has its own "Pet Menu," with options for both your pup (like the Beagle Burger) or your kitten (the Siamese Salmon Filet). And New York's Soho Grand comes complete with its very own dog park (shared with its equally pet-friendly sister property, the Roxy Hotel).

That's just the tip of the bone when it comes to the pet amenities on this list. Read on for our very favorite pet-friendly hotels in the United States.

Alabama: Hotel Indigo Orange Beach Gulf Shores

Allowing up to two 40-pound pups per room, Alabama's Hotel Indigo Orange Beach Gulf Shores wants to make sure your furry friends feel welcome from the moment they walk in the door—hence the treat and tennis ball table located at the front desk. The table also features a photo board starring Polaroid snaps of pet guests. (With your permission, they'll snap your pup too!) Perhaps most exciting, though, the hotel sits at one of the entrances to the Gulf State Park, which includes 26 miles of dog-friendly trails and its own dog park.

Alaska: Harbor 360 Hotel

Located in Seward, Alaska, the Harbor 360 Hotel is a beaut—and not just because it has complimentary treats on the premises. Each pet-friendly room on the waterfront property, which is close to both hiking trails and the beach, is carpet-free (because we all know accidents can happen). And the best part? There's no restriction on the kind of pet you can bring, as long as he or she is under 65 pounds.

All pet guests (both dogs and cats are allowed) are treated to a plush bed, food and water bowls, toys, and treats. Plus, the hotel sits on a 65-acre property, which means there's lots of room for running. (Bonus: There's a PetSmart across the street, just in case!)

And yes, Harvest Inn is near multiple wineries, including ALL, V. Sattui, Clif Family, and Frog's Leap. Cheers!

Colorado: The St. Regis Aspen Resort

The St. Regis Aspen Resort is a sight to behold. (The architecture! The Aspen Mountain!) But our favorite thing about this St. Regis? Its furry star, Kitty the Bernese Mountain Dog. Kitty has a flawless face, hence his standing as a social media darling, but he has something else too: a "Fur Butler," who manages pet-focused events, daily walks, and other fun activities for visiting pups. Pawfect.

Colorado: Viewline Resort Snowmass, Autograph Collection

Of course, the luxe St. Regis comes with an equally luxe price tag, so if you're looking for a slightly more humble—though no less beautiful—abode, then Autograph Collection's Viewline Resort Snowmass is for you. The resort, which allows dogs of any size, offers pop-up doggie bowls and yummy snacks (with the first batch offered upon arrival). While you and Fido will find a welcome sign in your room, you probably won't spend too much time in it, as the surrounding Roaring Fork Valley has plenty of pup-friendly trails for you to traverse.

Delaware: Hotel Du Pont

Located in the heart of the picturesque Brandywine Valley, the historic Hotel Du Pont (opened in 1913) promises to have both a bed and treats waiting for Rover as soon as you enter your room.

Florida: The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort

And yet, Bal Harbour is still ready to give more—especially to its pet guests. Your four-legged friend—which can be either a cat or a dog—gets a "pet welcome kit" as soon as he or she arrives, not to mention a bed, mat, and bowls.

("Cats, pigs, birds, iguanas, even miniature horses have stayed with us," they told us.) The amenities are stacked: We're talking pet bowls, pet towels (crucial after a long hike), and even pet sheets (the better to keep furniture clean). Every morning, when the humans get their daily baskets of muffins and juice, Fido gets a homemade cheddar dog biscuit. And for those dinners you don't want to venture to the restaurant, there's the "Bone Appetit" pet menu, complete with the lodge's signature "muttloaf" (a maple-glazed, bacon-wrapped wild game meatloaf, specially designed for pups).

Here's why we love Boarding House in Cape May, a little slice of Victorian heaven by the beach: The personalized "Salty Dog" board, custom dog treats made by Black Sheep dog treats, and the fact that they're located less than 500 feet from a dog park. Make your way downtown, and you'll find plenty of dog-friendly establishments, too, like Congress Hall's Blue Pig Tavern, Elaine's, and Fins Bar & Grille. And if you're visiting between November and March, the Cape May Beach is fair game for your pup too.

If there's an award for the biggest, boldest, most over-the-top, splurge-worthy pet package, it's definitely going to one hotel and one hotel only: Conrad Washington DC.

Price tag? $5,999. $500 of that fee, though, does serve as a donation to the Human Society of the United States, which we think is an especially sweet touch.

Anvil welcomes dogs with arms wide open, hence the "Doggy Bag" program, which includes both an Anvil logo tennis ball and dog treats upon check-in. Inarguably, the best pet perk of this hotel is the fact that it sits right at the entrance of Yellowstone National Park—and all of its 2.2 million acres of land. While pets are not allowed in Yellowstone's undeveloped areas, they are allowed in the developed ones (of which there are plenty).
