Pet friendly hotels across the United States

US hotels where our source data confirms pets are allowed. Fees and weight limits vary - always confirm with the property.

  • Pets allowed confirmed

Pets allowed is a clean yes/no field in our source data, which makes this one of the pages we can stand behind without qualification. What the field does not carry is the conditions - fees, weight limits, how many pets, which room types.

Those change often and vary by property, so treat every card here as a shortlist to confirm rather than a guarantee.

What qualifies for this list

  • Pets-allowed flag set in the source data
  • Fees, weight limits and eligible room types must be confirmed with the property

We start from every hotel, inn, resort, lodge and bed & breakfast in our United States dataset that scores 8.5 or higher on Booking.com with at least 100 guest reviews. For this page we then looked only at properties in the United States. See how we select hotels.

Common questions

How many hotels in the United States made this shortlist?

4677 properties cleared our criteria and 12 are shown above, ranked by Charming Score. The highest-scoring is Carnegie Hotel & Spa at 9.9, with a 9.5 guest rating from 804 Booking.com reviews.

What do these stays cost?

Indicative nightly rates for the shortlist run from about $1 to $872 in our data export. Rates move with date, season and availability, so the figure on each card is a starting point rather than a quote.

What is the Charming Score?

It is our own 0-10 selection score, not a guest rating. It combines the Booking.com guest score (45%), review volume (20%), property class (10%), amenity fit (10%), independence and property character (10%) and price positioning (5%). The full method is published on the Charming Score page.

Have you stayed at these hotels?

No, and we do not pretend otherwise. Our selections come from guest data, property facts and location, not from first-hand visits. Our editorial policy explains exactly what we do and do not claim.
