Quick Look: Free airport/town shuttles, discount packages available, LEED-Silver certified

Pet Fee: $30/night

Few places are more appealing to active humans and pets alike than Sun Valley, Idaho which may be famed for skiing but boasts lots of outdoor activities year-round. If your pup loves lazing around in the sun, opt for one of the many Terrace Rooms, which have large terraces to take in the never-ending sunshine no matter the season. Pets are welcome in most parts of this hotel, and complimentary bowls and placemats are provided, with a $30 cleaning fee per pet, per night. Limelight Hotel—which boasts a killer, year-round heated pool and hot tub area—is located within walking distance of downtown Ketchum, filled with cute shops and a seriously not-to-be-missed distillery and dining experience, Warfield Distillery & Brewery.

2. Boarding House Cape May (CAPE MAY, NJ)

Price Range: $$

Quick Look: Quaint (only 11 rooms), roof-top patio, local surfing and beaches

Pet Fee: $45/per night

Things we love about this hotel: It’s located across the street from a park and is walking-distance to the charming seaside town of Cape May, not to mention a quick drive from North Cape May’s most popular dog beach, which has seasonal times for visitors with a pet. There are dog-friendly wineries, al fresco and dog-friendly restaurants in town, and lots of contemporary beach charm within the rooms. One Trip Advisor reviewer writes, “I love how they write the dogs’ names on the lobby chalkboard and had a dog treat waiting.” (They even have a "salty" dog photo gallery on their site!) Boarding House does charge a $45 per night pet fee (for up to two dogs no larger than 80 pounds).

3. The Lyle (WASHINGTON, D.C.)

Price Range: $$-$$$

Quick Look: Charming restaurant, waived pet fees, art deco

Pet Fee: $100

One of our nation's capitol’s newest boutique hotels to hit the scene is in the coveted and pet-forward Dupont Circle neighborhood. The Lyle offers a subtle nod to its Art Deco beginnings throughout its design, and a home-like, residential feel that will instantly comfort pets and pet owners to new surroundings. Four-legged guests are in for a treat (literally), which includes homemade snacks plus the simple pleasure of a cozy dog bed. The hotel is down the block from the S Street Dog Park and an easy walk to neighboring sections of Adams Morgan and Logan Circle (the hotel staff has dog park maps available, too). The pet fees won’t break the bank, either, as guests who book the Paws of Lyle package will have waived pet amenity fees. (Standard pet fees are $100 and nonrefundable per stay when not booking Paws of Lyle.)

4. Best Friends Roadhouse And Mercantile (KANAB, UT)

Price Range: $

Quick Look: Best of State Award-Winner (2022 Best Motel in Utah), nearby national parks

Pet Fee: None

You could say this place is big on pets. In fact, they call themselves pet-centric, not just pet-friendly. You’re likely to have a photo of a precious pooch, pretty kitty or furry bunny stationed above your hotel bed and outside the hotel you’re likely to peep a dog statue and murals of animals painted on the walls. The hotel features a special, two-door entry system that ensures wandering pets don’t slip out, plus pull-out sleeping areas with pet mattresses and cubbies so you can comfortably sleep by your furry friend, not to mention free pet washing stations, a fenced-in park with a splash pad, and pet walking services and sitting. Yep, it’s pretty much Shangri-La for pets.

The best part: Guests here can take a complimentary shuttle to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, where they’re able to volunteer and meet pets for sleepovers at the hotel and learn more about all the good work this animal sanctuary does.

5. Brazilian Court Hotel (PALM BEACH, FL)

7. Aka West Hollywood (WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA)

Price Range: $$$$$$

Quick Look: Private screening room, 24-hour gym, resident-only bar/lounge, extended stays

The hotel features a private, outdoor path right on site for pets, but is also located in one of L.A.’s best neighborhoods for walkability, so you both can discover shops, restaurants, pet boutiques and groomers together on foot. It’s also quite close to Tailwaggers, a doggy daycare and groomers.

Price Range: $$-$$$

Quick Look: Reduced rates for seniors and veterans, dog-walkers available, boutique hotel

Pet Fee: None

Pet owners will instantly notice Kimpton Hotels’ friendly attitude toward pets, especially those with larger pets who sometimes aren’t covered in general pet policies of other hotels solely based on their dog’s size (we’re looking at you, German Shepherd owners).

During your stay, you’ll receive a complimentary Wag! Premium membership which gets you 10 percent off services, zero booking fees, and 24/7 vet chat.

Oh yeah—Cooper hosts weekly meet-and-greet social hours each Friday to welcome guests to the property, which is located in the Green Mountains, with a complimentary glass of wine.

11. Origin Hotel Lexington (LEXINGTON, KY)

Price Range: $-$$$$

Quick Look: Distillery and farm tours, shopping, one-time pet fee

Pet Fee: $50

Traveling with a pet is great, but it can sometimes be a hassle to figure out which local spots are pet-friendly or, ahem—not that we’ve done this or anything, will turn a blind eye to certain adorable faces. At boutique charmer Origin Hotel Lexington, which is filled with lots of locally inspired details, they take the guesswork out of traveling with a pet by providing a local “pup guide” to highlight all of the pooch-friendly spots in town. The $50 fee (for dogs up to 50 pounds) also includes pet bowls and a bed during your pet’s stay, but more importantly, an on-theme, locally crafted swag bag that includes a Kentucky-inspired chew toy (aka a bottle of bourbon squeak toy), a bow tie and selections of wholesome treats.

12. Topnotch Resort (STOWE, VT)

Price Range: $$$-$$$$$

Quick Look: Tennis, mountains, luxury resort, dog-friendly hotel floor

Pet Fee: $100/day

This one's for all the fanatical ball chasers out there! Already celebrated as Vermont’s finest year-round resort, Topnotch’s Tennis Center makes a visit here extra special by providing pets a three-pack of tennis balls so your trusted companion can chase them around until he or she tuckers out. The property also boasts a dedicated floor with pet-friendly rooms, so you can mingle and make friends with neighbors, not to mention many places to stretch out and play fetch, like Topnotch's various lawns and nearby hiking trails. Prior to the pandemic, the resort even did a special reiki and massage for dogs, and while it’s on pause for the moment, a rep tells us they anticipate offering it up again after Vermont loosens restrictions. It’ll cost you $100 per day to bring your dog.

13. Lotte Hotel Seattle (SEATTLE, WA)

Price Range: $$$-$$$$

14. Little River Inn (MENDOCINO, CA)

Price Range: $$-$$$$

Quick Look: Ocean views, historic, water sports

Pet Fee: $30/night

This laid back, coastal California inn boasts stunning views of the ocean, plus personal hot tubs off many of the rooms. While your pooch won’t partake in said heated, bubbly water bath, they can get onto the water in a completely unique way. That's because Little River Inn offers the incomparable experience of a kayaking trip with your dog, in which you and your pet can sit on what a rep promises us is a purpose-built, super-stable and specially designed kayak craft (there’s a Water Dog Sea Cave Package and a River Dog Package). Active dogs will also love the miles of hiking trails surrounding Little River Inn, and lazier pets will enjoy cozying up next to a fireplace or feasting al fresco with their owners in the lovely outdoor dining area.

15. The Cheshire (ST. LOUIS, MO)

Like Central Park in New York, this urban oasis is something super special and a sense of great pride for St. Louisans; it’s also an ideal place to bring your dog(s), which are plenty welcome on leash but also off in dedicated dog run areas.
