Little Rock is one of the most popular vacation destinations for dog owners in America, and it’s easy to see why. Let your four-legged friend off the leash in Paw Park at Murray, grab a cold beer at Bark Bar, then settle in for a night at one of these thoughtful pet-friendly hotels in Little Rock, bookable with Culture Trip.

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.

A warm welcome for both cats and dogs – plus superb value-for-money – distinguish this unpretentious, all-suite hotel from the rest. Wearing olive greens and pale pinks, its rooms feature living areas with fridges, sinks, microwaves, sofas and large workstations, complete with either one king or two queen beds. Swim at any time of year in the heated indoor pool, or work up a sweat in the on-site gym.
