The Most Pet-Friendly Hotels in Oahu, Hawaii

Travelers seeking some coolness can now bring their pets to Hotel Renew. Two dogs are allowed for a modest fee, and while they can’t be left unattended, there are loads of pet-pleasing extras (comfy dog beds, treat bowls and yummy snacks) to keep them happy. While rooms don’t have balconies or outdoor spaces to roam, there are dedicated pet-friendly rooms, and the grassy Kapiolani Park is nearby to let your furry friend run free.

A welcoming spot for pups and their paw-rents, the Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach allows dogs up to 50lb (23kg) for an additional fee. Unlike some other properties, this place will allow you to leave your dog unattended in the room, so Fido can get comfy on the compact lanai (porch) or in the cosy living space. Housekeeping will not enter during the time you’re out, so be sure to leave a Do Not Disturb sign on the door. There’s a grassy area for pets to do their business on the property, but otherwise, dog-friendly Royal Moana Beach is a 20-minute walk away.

You can bring Rover with you to the Kahala Hotel & Resort, provided they are under 25lb (11kg). There’ll be a chargeable cleaning fee to spruce your room post-stay, and your pooch will need to be leashed at all times. What’s off limits? The food and beverage outlets, the CHI Fitness Center and the pool areas. However, a dog bowl and special mattress are provided for your pet’s comfort, and if he or she becomes too attached to these new creature comforts, they’re available to buy and take home.

This idyllic hideaway welcomes your fur child with open arms and a welcome treat. Both dogs and cats are permitted, and they’ll accept two pets up to 70lb (32kg) for an additional charge. While there’s ample space on the property for them to explore, they’re not allowed to roam free. On the upside, there’s a designated pet-park area, and nearby Kaneohe Bay is an excellent area for a spot of pet-and-master stand-up paddleboarding. Be sure to book a room that’s one of the five designated to accommodate pets.

Every man and his best friend can bring, well, their best friend along. There are no limitations on where your dog can roam in this eight-bedroom oceanfront villa, and there’s no additional fee charged either. It’s also walkable to beaches (Laie, Laniola and Mahakea) where leashed dogs are welcome in all areas, and there are canoes and kayaks on the property, so you can go out on the water together.

This condo dwelling with resort-style amenities is a choice spot if you’re bringing your beloved pet on holiday. With a full kitchen inside and stores such as Foodland and Costco nearby, you’ll be able to prepare your pooch’s favorite meals. Two pets are allowed per room, and the inn prefers if you stay with your pet at all times.

Not only is this urban space one of the coolest places to stay in Waikiki; it’s also incredibly pet-friendly. Custom amenities, doggy beds, water bowls and a chew toy are just some ways the Laylow welcomes you and your furry buddy. You won’t need to be stuck with your pet 24/7: so long as it’s crated, pets can be left unattended in the room. The friendly staff are also able to give recommendations on which beaches are open for Fido to have some fun.

Don’t feel hurt if the staff at the Surfjack treat your pet as much as they spoil you. Dogs up to 80lb (36kg) are welcomed for a fee at this trendy urban bolthole. There are many Instagrammable spots for your pooch to take some vacay snaps, and he/she will be allowed to keep you company poolside, during one of the Surfjack’s regular film sessions.
