Oh, but it gets better. The Sanctuary Beach Resort also has the most adorable dog stick library, where pups of all sizes can select suitable sticks to gnaw and play with. Meanwhile, once it’s time to reenergize, dogs are welcome at the property’s Salt Wood Kitchen, where they can dine off the Pawtio Menu. Meal options include Throw Me a Bone (smoked bone marrow), the Quarter Hounder (beef patty), and Chicken Run (grilled chicken), just to name a few.

Planning a trip to the Windy City and hoping to bring your pup along for all the Midwest fun? Virgin Hotels Chicago welcomes dogs with open arms — and with zero fees at that! The posh boutique hotel provides pups with necessities like bowls and beds, as well as extras like bold red Virgin Hotels bandanas.

Most notably, the property is the only one on this list (not to mention the only one we’ve heard of) that allows pups to hang out in the room, unattended. As much as we love the pups in our lives, there’s no denying that it can get tricky to travel with them when so many places aren’t dog-friendly.

The Plaza Hotel — New York, New York

While more and more hotels are catching on to just how much people love their pups, The Plaza Hotel in New York City has been well aware for decades, dating back to the early 1900s. The iconic Central Park South property was the first known boutique property to really cater to pups, offering dog robes and gourmet pet menus. And, quite frankly, the modern-day Pampered Pup Package, featuring high tea-esque doggie macaron platters, plush bathrobes and beds, bowls, and more, is a bucket-list experience for pooches and pet parents alike. The best part?

The Plaza doesn’t discriminate — they have robes, beds, and bowls that fit all sizes and breeds. They also don’t charge any extra fees to bring pups along for the stay. (If your pet makes a mess or destroys something in the room, however, that’s another, likely quite expensive, story.)
