One thing that can quickly put a damper on a vacay is having to leave your furry friend behind. It can create a logistical nightmare trying to figure out accommodations for them back home, not to mention it's just plain sad going somewhere fun without them! Luckily, more and more pet-friendly hotels are popping up around the United States, giving pet-owners the opportunity to get away while taking their beloved pets with them.
To help plan your next pet-friendly adventure, here are 18 of the best pet-friendly hotels across the United States. These hotels will have you and your pet feeling pampered and well taken care of from check-in to check-out!

What sets it apart from other pet-friendly hotels is that there are so many open spaces that allow your pets to explore and feel like they're on vacation, too! The hotel makes sure that its pet guests are well-taken care of by offering pet beds, food and water, treats, and waste bags.

You might not expect a pet-friendly hotel to scream "luxury," but this one certainly does. Not only is it very bougie for the human guests, but also for the pet ones. The hotel has its very own doggie ambassador (who you can follow on Instagram) and provides its four-legged guests with access to a "biscuit bar." There is an additional package called the "Fairmont Furiend" which gives pets an even more elevated experience, including a biscuit box, local discount cards, a list of dog-friendly spots, and more.
The Landing (Lake Tahoe, California)

Dogs are welcome almost everywhere on The Landing Hotel — the only exception is the pool! They can go on the provided shuttle, and with so much open space to run around and play around the property, your dog will have the time of their life.
The Peninsula (Beverly Hills, California)

Spoil your pets in the 90210! Two pets, dog or cat, are allowed in the hotel for a fee of $150 per pet. There is a "Pampered Puppy" room service menu that allows you to treat your pets like royalty with options like filet mignon. Bone appetite! 😉

A trip to Hawaii can only be made better by bringing along your furry friend. The Surfjack Hotel has their own resident dog named Jack (here's his Instagram if you want some cuteness overload) that your pup can play with! There's a drop-off doggie daycare and even the opportunity for your dog to learn to surf with you. It's giving Lilo & Stitch in the *best* of ways.
Boarding House (Cape May, New Jersey)

This quaint little hotel feels straight out of the pages of a whimsical book. Located in Cape May, New Jersey, part of what makes this hotel so ideal for dogs is that it is just a quick drive away from Cape May's most popular dog beach.

The hotel writes the names of each dog guest in the lobby, and they make sure that there is a treat waiting for them when they check in!
