From organic pet food to doggie daybeds, we’re living in the age of the pampered pet, and the hotels of New York City are leaning in — after all, it is considered among the most dog-friendly cities in the country, and you won't walk a block without seeing at least one pooch. Newcomers may be surprised to find all the green spaces and dog runs that dot this city, and when you’re here, you don't need to leave your pet at home. Instead, you can bring your furry friend to the city and check into a pet-friendly hotel that offers everything from doggie room service to on-site walkers.
Inquire with the MICHELIN Guide customer service team when considering trips to the below hotels with cats, lizards or a pet pig. But when it comes to dogs, the hotels below don’t just welcome pets begrudgingly: they provide a genuine canine hospitality experience.
