The Best Pet-Friendly Hotels to Book in Shreveport, Louisiana

Traveling with your pups but still want to hit the casino? That’s no problem when you stay in the Ballyverse. Bally’s Shreveport Casino & Hotel is perched on the banks of Red River and offers a full selection of table games, poker, and more than 1,500 slot machines. And like all casinos worth their neon stripes, you’ll never have to leave — the eating options are excellent, whether it’s fine dining at the wood-clad Vintage or vibrant Vietnamese flavors at the Noodle Bar. Up to two well-behaved dogs are allowed in each room – just not at the poker tables.

What began in 1907 as Shreveport’s first pharmacy is now its trendiest boutique hotel, complete with a speakeasy-style cocktail lounge. All rooms have attractive decor, but consider booking a Deluxe Suite, where every room is named after and designed by a different artist. And not only does the Remington offer the most stylish sleep in town, it has a rooftop dog park for the pups! Treats and pet bags are available for the furry guests.

It doesn’t get more convenient than this Residence Inn location: just off Interstate 20, two blocks from Shreveport Regional Airport and a two-minute drive to Waffle House (a Southern road trip essential). One of the top pet-friendly hotels in Shreveport, it caters for dogs of all shapes and sizes, which is a relief if you and Rex have already developed a Waffle House habit. Choose from studio, one- and two-bedroom suites for the pooch to nap in while you chill by the outdoor pool.

La Quinta Inn & Suites is a lifesaver if you’re traveling with large dogs, and this one is no exception – accepting up to two pets, of any size, per room. Located right off Interstate 20 and not far from Shreveport Regional Airport, it makes a great choice for a stress-free stay – there’s even free breakfast and an outdoor pool. What more could you and the pup want? A po’ boy, you say? No problem. Sam’s Southern Eatery is under 1mi (1.6km) away and offers curbside pickup of its downhome cooking, including fried catfish and dirty rice.

Not far from Louisiana State University Shreveport, the Holiday Inn Express & Suites is a great option if you’re traveling with your dog around campus. The comfortable rooms feature mini-fridges and microwaves — perfect for heating leftover shrimp. Make sure to check out Red River National Wildlife Refuge, just a 15-minute drive away, for 5mi (8km) of walking trails – leashed dogs are more than welcome.

Nestled between Interstate 20, the Shreveport Regional Airport and another Waffle House, this bright and friendly Holiday Inn Express & Suites offers a super convenient stay for pets under 40lb (18kg) and their owners. The hotel has a free full breakfast and outdoor pool for you, while for the pups there’s a spacious walking area to stretch out after long car rides.
