Here are the 9 best luxury pet-friendly hotels in the U.S.


We all love vacation, but it doesn’t quite feel the same without our furry, four-legged family members. Hotels have taken note of the growing enthusiasm for bringing pets on the trip and more properties are offering exclusive services for them. Some hotels, like The Paw House Inn in Vermont are so happy to welcome Spot and Fido that there’s even a $10 charge per night fee for not bringing a dog. Below are some of the hottest hotels in the US, competing for your furry animal’s heart. Reading this list, three things appear clearly: attention is mainly centered on dogs – it’s the US we’re talking about after all; New York City stands at the forefront of petcations; the Kimpton group of hotels is clearly one step ahead.


Virgin Hotels Chicago – Chicago, Illinois
Two blocks from the Chicago Riverwalk, the hotel is located within a historic building in Chicago’s Loop neighborhood. Pet-friendly rooms at the Virgin Hotel Chicago are identified by a porcelain watchdog guarding the door. Pets of all sizes stay free and enjoy amenities such as super comfy beds, food and water dishes, plus signature treats and Virgin Hotels bandanas. This hotel will even put on an event for your pet – everything from a birthday party to a puppy wedding.
