The fall-toned rooms at this three-star Sheraton overlook a resort-style pool with a waterfall and a splash pad for the little ones. Each room accommodates up to two pooches. The Grand Cafe sets off your day with a hot or cold takeout breakfast, while Bar RX does local brews, big-screen sports and all-American fare – even better, it has an elevated pool-view terrace for the warmer months. A free shuttle service will take you anywhere within a 5mi (8km) radius.

This cozy hotel is a top choice for those planning an extended stay accompanied by a pet, situated a ten-minute drive from downtown.

A warm welcome for both cats and dogs – plus superb value-for-money – distinguish this unpretentious, all-suite hotel from the rest.

Swim at any time of year in the heated indoor pool, or work up a sweat in the on-site gym.

You and your hound will have access to an on-site dog-walking zone at this budget-friendly base, just a ten-minute walk from the interactive Museum of Discovery – a great attraction for kids. It also has an outdoor pool and a stylish restaurant specializing in Southern comfort cuisine, in which all the booths have their own TVs.

Geared towards long stays, accommodation at this downtown Marriott ranges from studios to two-bedroom suites, all of which have full-sized kitchens, ergonomic workstations and separate living rooms. Meet fellow dog lovers while relaxing around the pool, shooting hoops on the basketball court or over wine and canapes during the early evening meet-and-greet. Breakfast is on the house, while all other meals and snacks are available from the vibrant River Market District right outside.

Not only are dogs admitted to this huge complex of self-catered suites, they also have a completely enclosed courtyard and special play area in which to let off steam. Their human companions are well looked after, too – you’ll have access to a gym, complimentary breakfast, outdoor grills and the opportunity to attend thrice-weekly social gatherings on the patio. Make the most of the gleaming, showroom-worthy kitchens in every suite. Little Rock Zoo and War Memorial Stadium are within easy walking distance.
