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.

A post shared by Freehand Hotels (@freehandhotels)

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!

Our Latest Vlog:
Today we explore the Amazon jungle by night. Our flashlights reveal plenty of creepy crawlies, including unusual insects, cute frogs, a variety of spiders – including a bizarre one that looked like a robot, and Andie got her wish when we saw not one, but two tarantulas! Stephen was relieved to not run into any snakes, but later that night he was jolted awake by an an uninvited “guest” in our bed!

Only 2% of the #Amazon Jungle is in Ecuador, and part of that is in the #Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve, which is where we visited during our Ecuador trip. It was our first visit to the world's largest rainforest, and we already can't wait to go back and see more!

This is the sixth video in our first-ever international series! Quito, Ecuador was the first international trip we took together back in 2011. Eleven years later, it’s where we filmed our first international series and first drone footage for our channel! 

We spent two weeks in Ecuador this time, including Quito, day-trips to Mindo and Cotopaxi National Park, the Amazon, and one of our top-3 bucket list destinations: the Galápagos Islands!

Hello, handsome!🦙 We were surprised to learn ho Hello, handsome!🦙
We were surprised to learn how many alpaca farms there are in the U.S.! When we found one on @harvesthosts that we could spend the night at in our Sprinter, we couldn’t get there fast enough! This was one of our favorite “sleep overs” yet!

Hot tip from Hot Springs – bring a tea bag. ☕️ 

We visited Hot Springs, Arkansas for an afternoon, and though we didn’t have enough time to bathe in the thermal waters, we did find one of several *hot* water fountains that are located around downtown and Hot Springs National Park. Next time, we’ll be sure to bring a tea bag and mug, and explore the park.
