Leaving your pets behind while traveling can be stressful. Which is why we love pet-friendly hotels, so that we are closer to our adorable furballs even when we’re away. Today, hotels are realizing the importance of offering pet-friendly policies to ensure that all guests are welcome. These hotels also earn significantly from add-on services that are offered to pet owners and often charge an additional amount to allow the pet to stay with you.

Here are some of the best options out there when it comes to pet-friendly hotels:

1. St. Regis Aspen Resort
The establishment in Aspen allows you and your pet to spend some great time together in the great outdoors. It offers special amenities including a doggie bed, treats, blanket, and bowl. The pets and their owners are encouraged to spend time outdoors and explore nearby parks of which there are many in Aspen. St. Regis also offers more services upon request, and therefore, is one of the most sought after pet-friendly hotels.

2. Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants
Kimpton Hotels remain one of the most preferred locations for pet owners across the country because they accept any pet regardless of their weight and size. They have many properties spread across the country and all are pet-friendly hotels. Furthermore, there is no added charge and no extra fees. The guests are allowed to have a fun time with their pets and the hotels also give personalized services like calling the dogs by their name, doggie mats, and courtesy bags to help when taking the dog out for a walk. The pet owners are also provided with pet grooming services and recommended walking trails upon request.

3. Fairmont Hotels & Resorts
Most of the Fairmont Hotels & Resorts do allow pets but it is advisable to phone them beforehand and make inquiries. They also offer special handmade treats for dogs in their establishment in Washington D.C. They also allow dogs in many of their overseas hotels and although policies vary from one location to the other, quite often dogs can stay for free. Their Canine Ambassador Program is built for accommodating the requests of dog owners and is entirely dedicated to dogs.

4. Travelodge
If you are planning a road trip or are on the go with your furry friend, check out if the closest Travelodge has a pet-friendly policy so you can make a halt over there. Many of Travelodge by Wyndham properties are pet-friendly hotels. They are perfect if you simply require a place to crash for the night with your pet with no fancy amenities.
