Pet-friendly hotels go all out to make sure your furry travel companions feel like royalty

Gone are the days of begging neighbors with gifts from distant places to care for your pets while you're away. Nowadays, pet owners have a much better option: bringing their pets along on their trips.

Traveling with your pet has never been easier or more enjoyable, thanks to a growing selection of luxurious pet-friendly hotels across the globe. Now, your four-legged family member can join in on the fun!

While many hotels allow pets for an additional fee, some go far beyond mere tolerance, rolling out the red carpet for your beloved travel companion’s stay.

These pet-friendly hotels provide everything from cozy beds and bowls to personalized in-room dining and even spa services. While dogs are the most frequent visitors, many establishments now welcome a wide range of animals, from horses to ferrets, with special attention to their individual needs.

If you're seeking a luxurious getaway that the whole family, including your pets, can enjoy, check out these 13 top pet-friendly hotels around the world:

Kimpton Hotel Monaco Seattle

Kimpton Hotels' pet policy is simple: if your pet can squeeze through the door, they're welcome to stay. While you may need to leave your horse at home, almost any other animal is fair game. In the past, baby pigs, llamas, and goats have all been guests. That said, dogs remain the most popular visitors.

Each of the 60 Kimpton hotels worldwide offers a range of pet amenities, including water bowls, treats, pet beds, toys, and waste bags—all free of charge for your furry companion, no matter what species they may be.

Several Kimpton locations even have a canine Director of Pet Relations: a resident dog who greets both human guests and their pets, ensuring that all pet facilities meet the highest standards.

At the Kimpton Monaco Seattle, things are taken up a notch with a special doggie dining menu available for a small extra charge. It features smoked beef marrow bones, pig skin chew toys, beef stew, grilled hamburgers, and even a frozen Pupsicle made from peanut butter, yogurt, and banana.

Another Kimpton property, Hotel Monaco Denver, has taken their dog-friendly approach to the next level with a special Puppies + Prosecco package available until August 26. It's essentially puppy room service, paired with a refreshing adult beverage. The hotel welcomes dogs all year round.
