The Best Pet-Friendly Hotels To Book In Philadelphia Pennsylvania

The City of Brotherly Love is best enjoyed with family – and we know that furry friends are family, too. The best pet-friendly hotels in Philadelphia cater to your kitties and pups as much as they do their human counterparts, with specialty beds, treats, green spaces, walking maps, and more.

1. Westin Philadelphia

Chain Hotel

Two double beds with crisp white sheets and blue headboards against a grey accent wall, a black dresser and a wooden writing desk in a room with a blue and white carpet and city views at the Westin Philadelphia

Parked neatly between Philadelphia City Hall and Rittenhouse Square, the Westin Philadelphia holds a perfect central location for you and your pup to explore. When you’re not taking in the surrounding Market Street sights, enjoy the cozy, blue hues and marble-laden bathrooms, while your furry friend (weighing 55lb max) enjoys the complimentary bedding, dog food, and water bowl. Top tip: be sure to stop at the front desk for treats and dog bags to-go.

2. Kimpton Hotel Palomar

Two grey wingback armchairs separated by a cobalt blue velvet and mahogany stool in front of a no longer working fireplace, a leather armchair and a felt armchair, and two built-in bookcases in an elegant room with grey panelled walls at the Kimpton Hotel Palomar Philadelphia

The director of pet relations at Kimpton Hotel Palomar, Tanki, and the human staff take their four-legged guests very seriously. If yours fits through the door, Kimpton Hotel Palomar welcomes them in – with the royal treatment at that. The hotel pulls out pet beds, bowls, and disposable pick-up bags, along with a map of Philly’s best pet-friendly walking routes. If you want to be let off the leash yourself sometimes, speak to the pet sitter on site.

3. Kimpton Hotel Monaco

Chain Hotel

Twin beds with white leather headboards and red decorative pillows against a blue and white patterned accent wall that matches the drapes in a room at the Kimpton Hotel Monaco Philadelphia

Rooms at the Kimpton Hotel Monaco pay homage to the neighborhood’s storied past, with early-period carved desks and mirrored end-tables. But the hotel embraces the present, too, with whimsical, bold wallpaper and geometric patterns. And being thoroughly contemporary, it also invites pets of all sizes free of charge to enjoy the property. As you immerse yourself in the daily hosted wine hour, your pal can take to their complimentary bed with treats.

5. Renaissance Philadelphia Downtown

Chain Hotel

Red wooden four poster bed with crisp white sheets in a room with red and black walls, a red armchair and a dark cherry hardwood floor at Renaissance Philadelphia Downtown

Center City’s Renaissance Philadelphia Downtown is a sleek place to stay amidst Old City Philadelphia. Toast to new adventures at the chic Franklin Social Lounge, and take a contemplative dip in the mural-lined indoor pool. The hotel allows two pets per room (both dogs and cats are permitted) for $50-$75. Just be prepared to take them along when you go sightseeing, as animals cannot be left unattended in your room.

6. Hilton Philadelphia at Penns Landing

They’ll receive tasty treats at the checkin desk and are welcome to the pet station at the hotel’s entrance. If you opt to enjoy the hotel’s waterfront dining or river-view pool independently, you can leave your darling(s) in the room, as long as they’re crated.

The hotel’s Arf package welcomes dogs weighing under 40lb with cozy pet bedding, food, and water bowls, as well as plenty of treats. Once you and your pup are settled in for the evening, browse Netflix and Hulu from your plush bed. Now that’s what we call creature comforts.

If you can spare some me-time, sun yourself by the outdoor deck pool or devour the Chow Fun at the hotel’s onsite restaurant, Sang Kee Noodle House.
