The Most Pet-Friendly Hotels in Dallas, Texas

A special Pupjoy amenity box, packed with treats, a toy and travel bowl for your dog or cat, awaits at this central Dallas hotel. Newly renovated rooms on the ground floor are designated pet-friendly and suitable for up to two animals weighing under 50lb (23kg), for no extra charge. As well as its relaxed pet policy, the Beeman is loved for its restaurant-bar, Seely’s Mill, where you’ll find regular live music and Texas tequila, street tacos and brisket.

Each one of Hotel Zaza’s zany, pet-friendly suites has a theme – from the Out of Africa den to a tranquil Zen space, and the Texas room – decorated with cowhide horns and leather.

ZaZa welcomes dogs of any size for a $150 fee and they can be left behind while you explore Dallas, plus there are plenty of off-leash parks nearby.

Presidents, celebs and even Queen Elizabeth have stayed at this historic Beaux Arts hotel in Downtown. The castle-like spot, built over a century ago, is named after its German creator Adolphus Busch and was once the tallest building in Texas, at a then-whopping 22 stories high. Today, a modern spa and rooftop pool complement grand ballrooms and ornate suites. One dog weighing up to 35lb (16kg) is permitted at the Adolphus; head one block east to Belo Garden for dog walks.

Crescent Court, in a swanky uptown neighborhood, is one of the fanciest hotels in Dallas. Think 10 different types of imported European marble, a 2,000-year-old Greek god statue and limestone columns in the up-market Beau Nash restaurant. Despite the hotel’s grandeur, it has a generous pet policy, with two animals allowed for a $150 fee per pet. They can even be left in the room, if crated, while you enjoy the hotel’s spa and pool.

You can’t miss the 11ft (3.3m), neon-red Pegasus that sits atop this Downtown hotel.

There’s a vintage feel to the hotel, with high ceilings, an elegant bar and apartment-like suites that are perfect for pet stays. You’ll receive treats and dog-walking suggestions when you check in, with two pets of any size permitted for free.

Pets are welcomed at Rosewood Mansion with treats, beds and a guide to pet-friendly Dallas attractions.

Rosewood Mansion’s former guest list includes famous names including Tennessee Williams and Theodore Roosevelt.

Hotel Indigo, a National Historic Landmark that was once home to the Dallas Opera House and Titche-Goettinger department store, occupies a prime location in the heart of Downtown.

It is just across the street from a dog park, plus there’s a free local-area shuttle service.

You’ll feel right at home in these loft-inspired suites, which feature urban-chic decor, 14ft (4m) ceilings and windows overlooking the Dallas cityscape.

The hotel, located just steps from city hall and with a grassy area opposite, is ideal if you’re traveling with pets – up to two cats or dogs, weighing no more than 50lb (23kg), can stay free of charge.

Seeking luxury Dallas digs? Fairmont Dallas fits the bill, with chenille throws, marble bathrooms and Downtown views.

Visiting the Southern Methodist University in Dallas? The Lumen is conveniently located just across the street, in the Highland Park neighborhood.

The Joule, a neogothic Dallas landmark, accepts pets at no extra charge and even allows well-behaved animals to be left alone in your room.

As a bonus, the dog run at Main Street Garden Park lies just two blocks away.
