The Most Pet-Friendly Hotels in Daytona Beach, Florida

This sunny yellow-and-blue hotel complex reflects the scene outside, and sits right on the golden sand of Daytona Beach. Guest rooms combine a similar color scheme with traditional decor, and many overlook the ocean; the Azure Restaurant has a more formal, refined feel, with a dark-wood aesthetic and a menu of ocean-fresh seafood – try the blackened mahi-mahi. The dog-friendly Frank Rendon Park neighbors the resort, or you can ask reception for some insider tips on pet-friendly places to go.

The spacious, unpretentious rooms of Atlantic Ocean Palm Inn offer everything you need for a pleasant stay in Daytona Beach, with nearly all offering ocean views and many with kitchens so you can self-cater.

There’s a style-conscious, mid-century feel to this hotel, where the large guest rooms have colorful patterned carpets, flickering wall-mounted fireplaces and lots of dark wood and stone.

Thrill seekers and motor sports fans will love the location of this modern, pet-friendly hotel, right beside the Daytona International Speedway racetrack.

Welcoming sun-seeking travelers for more than 75 years, Perry’s is a classic on the Daytona Beach scene.
