10 Dog-Friendly Hotels In And Around Los Angeles

January 24, 2021 3
two dogs pose in front of the Cabazon Dinosaur T-Rex as their ears blow in the strong winds.

In Los Angeles, there’s no need to leave your precious fur baby behind if you plan on spending a night or two away from home. The L.A. lifestyle practically has “dog-friendly” built into it and dogs here have got it pretty darn stylin’. Beaches, trails, outdoor seating at restaurants, and so many more things-to-do allow our companions to tag along. So it makes sense that there would also be plenty of dog-friendly hotels in and around Los Angeles.

It’s so much nicer when you’re going to be away from home to not also have to be away from your pet, not to mention having to arrange for their care while you’re gone. Because let’s face it, no matter how much we trust their caregiver, we still worry about them! Well, worry no more. Whether you’re local and taking a staycation, or visiting from out of town, here’s a list of hotels where your dog is welcome! 

1. Freehand Los Angeles – Downtown L.A.

This L.A. location of the Freehand collective is in a storied 1924 building that is just 1 mile from the Staples Center, L.A. Live, and the Grammy Museum (our favorite event spot in the area), along with plenty of cool eateries. This hip hotel features suites, premium rooms, and shared acommodations. 

2. Westin Los Angeles Airport – LAX

If you’re flying in or out of town, this spot is located on Century Boulevard. You’ll be just a few blocks from the airport, and you and your pup will be pampered with refined comforts. And if you need to squeeze in a little work, they’ve got ergonomic work spaces help you be your productive best. 

3. Aloft – El Segundo

You’ll be close to Culver City, which has been growing in popularity like crazy in recent years, and equally as close to Manhattan Beach. Just thinking about the dining options alone in those two areas is making me hungry. And this place isn’t just dog friendly – it’s goat friendly, too! Pre-Covid, they hosted goat yoga (aka “goga”) classes! We love an Aloft ourselves, and we think you will too.  

4. Sofitel – Beverly Hills

Located at the crossroads of Beverly Hills and West Hollywood right near the Beverly Center, you and your pet will be living it up in French-style luxury. Pets stay free and are greeted at the front desk with treats! Entertainment, shopping, and dining will all be within paw’s reach!

5. Safari Inn – Burbank

You’ve likely seen this cool, mid-century, classic in at least one film, tv show, or commercial. With its recognizable sign and facade, you’ll get all the old Hollywood feels, while being just a stone’s throw from the Bob Hope Airport in Burbank. Hot Tip: Burbank’s Bob Hope Airport is soooooo much easier to fly in and out of than LAX. 

6. Hollywood Roosevelt – Hollywood

A post shared by The Hollywood Roosevelt (@thehollywoodroosevelt)

Right smack dab in the heart of Hollywood, on the Walk of Fame, is the iconic Roosevelt. It’s so cool, locals go here just to hang out at the bar. A great central location, you’ve got some of the best aspects of the city nearby in all directions. Downtown, West and East Hollywood, and Studio City in the Valley – all nearby. Not to mention all of the tourist-y trappings near Hollywood and Highland, if that’s your vibe.

7. Kimpton Shorebreak – Huntington Beach

A post shared by Kimpton Shorebreak Resort (@shorebreakresort)

Going to be down south in “the H.B.?” Great choice for your pup! Not only is this hotel’s enrance literally steps from the beach, but just 2 miles away is Huntington’s own dog beach!

8. Del Marcos Hotel – Palm Springs

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Del Marcos Hotel Palm Springs (@delmarcoshotel)

Palm Springs is an easy day trip from Los Angeles, and it has such a fun, vintage vibe. If you love vintage mid-century modern architecture, fancy drinks poolside, and anything and everything Frank Sinatra, pack up your pooch and head for the desert! The Del Marcos is centrally located and fully equipped for your canine bestie. 

9. Fairmont Miramar Hotels and Bungalows – Santa Monica

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Fairmont Miramar (@fairmontmiramar)

Santa Monica is another go-to hotspot for visitors and locals alike. This beach retreat and urban resort sits on the bluffs overlooking the Pacific. Bask in the ocean breeze from your private bungalow with easy access to all the beachfront activities you hearts desire. 

10. The London Hotel – West Hollywood 

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by The London West Hollywood (@thelondonweho)

Just off of the famed Sunset Strip, The London is ultimately luxurious with a cool English vibe and tributes to bulldogs around just about every corner. They only allow small dogs and charge a higher fee than other hotels in this list. But for a unique stay just steps from shopping, restaurants, and clubs, we think your pet (and you) is worth it!

This is merely a smattering of the dog-friendly hotels in and around Los Angeles. But we think this is a great selection that covers a variety of the “main” areas around town, as well as different tastes and budgets and a couple of day trips, too! No matter what, we hope you and your best friend have an amazing stay together and enjoy everything that this beautiful city has to offer!

⁠What do 80s music, the Caribbean, and our YouTu ⁠What do 80s music, the Caribbean, and our YouTube channel have in common? It's @The80sCruise! 🎶🛳 ⁠
Swipe 👉 for a RAD preview!⁠
⁠
In our 🤘NEW VLOG🤘we take a totally radical voyage on @RoyalCaribbean Mariner of the Seas. ⁠14 concerts – including Stephen getting back to work drumming again! – theme parties & contests, spontaneous musician jams, and the complete 80s transformation of the ship transported us back in time for a whole week of retro fun! ⁠
⁠
🔗 in bio for the video!⁠ ⁠
⁠
1) Most guests had full-on 80s costumes. We didn't, but we did pack a few "essentials," like Andie's classic MTV tee and some cheap neon colored shades.⁠
⁠
2) How fun is this action figure packaging??? I had to hop in to channel teen-me's inner pro wrestling fan. This was one of the many 80s themed photo opps around the ship. ⁠
⁠
3) Speaking of photo opps, Andie's totally rockin' this graffiti corner in the ship's promenade 😍, which was renamed "the 80s Block" for the week! She was like a kid in a candy store and I'm not sure if I've ever seen her have so much fun!⁠
⁠
4) Who rocked harder – me or the ship? Duh – the ship! My gigs were during the first few days, when we had some pretty rough seas. Playing drums while literally rockin' & rollin' was a whole new (and fun!) experience.⁠

It's been a minute since our last vlog, but we're back with a BANGER! We're spending a day at sea enjoying all the fun activities on our cruise ship, Royal Caribbean Mariner of the Seas: from the waterslide to the Flowrider, the Sky Pad to our favorite spot for drinks. ⁠

This is the first in our Caribbean cruise series with a twist - it's 80s themed! Join us in the coming weeks to go back to the 80s, take a food tour of the cruise ship, and see what we get into in our stops in St. Thomas and St. Maarten. ⁠

it’s National Puppy Day! This is from a couple o it’s National Puppy Day! This is from a couple of years ago, when we took a mini road trip to see the super bloom in Southern California. Unfortunately Luddy (the red dog) doesn’t travel well anymore, so we let them both chill at home when. we go out. But we really miss road trips with the fur-babies!

What do the Strip’s oldest hotel, Vegas’ oldest bar, a boneyard of old neon signs, and “old blue eyes,” Frank Sinatra have in common? OUR NEW VLOG, that’s what!⁠
⁠
In our last video we took you for a walk LIVE on the Vegas Strip. Today, we’re exploring Vintage Vegas, with a stay at The Flamingo – the oldest still-operating hotel and casino on The Las Vegas Strip – and visits to Las Vegas’ oldest freestanding bar, a museum dedicated to Sin City’s classic neon signs, and a very special dessert in one of Frank Sinatra’s favorite spots! ⁠
⁠
At the hotel, we give you a taste of The Habitat – complete with a pelican and several flamingos – as well as a tour of our standard room with a fantastic Strip view. From our window we looked down at The Bellagio, Caesar’s Palace, The Forum, The Linq Zipline platform, The Mirage, and even a snow-capped mountain just outside of the city! Then we wander north and off of the Strip to see some of Vegas’ history, ending the day with a fantastic dessert show, with our backsides seated right where The Chairman himself sat on several occasions! ⁠

In this week’s vlog, we spend the day exploring the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC. We came for the Van Gogh Alive immersive experience, but first we got to tour the property – including the gardens and greenhouse – and take an audio tour of America’s Largest Home. If you’re looking for things to do and see in Asheville, The Biltmore is an experience you won’t soon forget. ⁠
