The Best Pet-Friendly Hotels in New York City

Bring your pet to the original boutique hotel in the heart of happening SoHo. An exclusive on-site designer park is a major draw for dog owners. Created to delight canines, this dog-friendly hotel in New York has fire hydrant water stations, custom-made benches and a tranquil garden for pooches to roam free. Inside, their stay on the pet-friendly floor will include organic treats, bedding, bowls and doggy bags, while human guests can enjoy the in-room locally sourced gourmet minibar and views over Manhattan.

Water bowls and pick-up bags will be delivered to your sleek room before you head out with Fido to one of the nearby Midtown Manhattan parks. The concierge offers advice on nearby pet-friendly restaurants and pet boutiques and can arrange dog grooming along with pet-sitting and walking services. In line with the Kimpton chain’s commitment to pet-friendliness, you can bring as many dogs and cats as you wish when you stay here.

Expect to have your pet photographed when you arrive for a stay at this dog-friendly hotel in New York City’s Chinatown neighborhood. The self-proclaimed “dog-crazy” team loves to post pictures of visiting pooches to the hotel’s Instagram feed. And the pups are as welcome on the bedroom furniture as you are (but also have their own beds provided). You can cuddle up with your fur baby in chic urban on-trend surrounds and admire the modern art adorning the walls.

The characterful Thomson-branded pet-friendly hotel in New York City is part of the Hyatt group and sits in the Financial District just off Wall Street. The Gild Hall is also a short stroll from the Battery – a 25-acre (10ha) park providing ample opportunity for you and your pet to stretch your legs and burn some energy. Although one or two dogs are allowed and may be left unattended within the rooms, cats aren’t permitted.

With a three-story living façade, kokedama in the lobby and hallway planters incorporated throughout, 1 Hotel Central Park echoes its leafy location. Pop by the animal-loving concierge if your pooch enjoys treats and cuddles. The team will also offer recommendations for walking spots and provide healthy canine meals. And while pets can’t be left unattended in rooms, with the world’s most famous park on the doorstep, there’s a wealth of outdoor adventures you can enjoy together.

A mid-century modern aesthetic is fused with vintage art deco vibes at this upmarket hipster pet-friendly hotel in New York’s Tribeca neighborhood.

A pet product brand owns the Roxy, so there’s no charge for the food, beds, crates and bowls – and you can bring two dogs of any size.

The hotel catchline is “no pet left behind.” For a small charge, cats and dogs can stay in a room, loft or penthouse for a standard or extended stay. Those with four legs are treated with as much attention as those with two at this elegant 21-story establishment.

Encapsulating the Broadway spirit of its Midtown location, this 610-bedroom pet-friendly hotel in New York City offers accommodation from doubles to two-bedroom apartments with a kitchen.
