The best pet-friendly hotels in NYC

Located on the city’s posh Park Avenue, Loews Regency Hotel is a luxury option for man and his best friends alike. No need to pack pooch-friendly toys, cat scratching posts, beds, or even travel-size litter boxes (if that’s a thing?), the Loews Loves Pets has it all covered and then some.

When it comes to food, humans are catered for at The Regency Bar & Grill, a high-end restaurant with a smooth energy. It serves meals all day long but one of its passions is the so-called ‘Power Breakfast’ wherein the biggest movers and shakers of the city’s business and finance worlds congregate around eggs, bacon, coffee and lots more coffee to discuss $$$.

Your furry friend can also get a taste for power thanks to the in-room pet menu which features gourmet meals prepared to order by chefs and licensed vets. (There's a mini-bar for humans too). In the morning, or indeed at any time of the day, you're a couple of blocks from Central Park so you and the pup can do your walkies like it's the movies. 

Mood? Simple living.
Location perks? Walking distance from Central Park. 
Budget range? Pricey.

Animal guests at Eventi are treated as VIP (that would be Very Important Pets). Complimentary amenities for furry companions include a bed, leash, serving bowls, and doggy bags for strolls around Chelsea; pet sitting, grooming, and walking services are all readily available.

For you, there are two on-site restaurants worth a visit. One is Skirt Steak (for those moments when full-on red meat is the only thing that will satisfy you) and the other is L’Amico, where you can get a comforting blend of American-Italian cuisine. There’s also the attractive Back Bar, which we favour as a return-home nightcap spot if you’ve chosen to eat out in the city one evening. 

In terms of places to visit (with or without your animal pal), you're also super close to the Empire State Building so you might as well pop up there, and Madison Square Garden is pretty close by too. Easy. 

Mood? Old world charm. 
Location perks? Nestled in the Chelsea neighborhood.
Budget range? A great price.

The uber-cool Freehand Hotel in NYC is pet-friendly and the ideal place to rest for the creatives amongst you.

A variety of rooms are available, all designed to be a little quirky and with a more homely feel to help your furry pals feel more at home. Plus, the staff at the hotel will give you tips on the best parks for walkies and pet-friendly restaurant recommendations.

There are 180 rooms at the hotel, including comfortable kings and spacious suites.

Upon the first paw step in the SoHo Grand’s glamorous lobby, four-legged guests will be treated like bonafide rock stars throughout the entire—and completely free—stay. The rooms on their very own pet-dedicated floors are loaded with organic snacks from Bocce’s Bakery as well as bedding, food and water essentials. But the real gem is the hotel’s private dog park—accessible to Roxy guests too!—outfitted by creative urban landscape designer Rebecca Cole. The lush garden and bespoke benches are so serene, it’s possible you forget this isn’t a human park. While your pooch is making pals in THEIR park, take the edge off at the 24-hour gym, or head out. Little Italy is a ten-minute walk, for instance.

You and your pup (or whatever your pet might be... iguana?) can sleep in style at this swanky, warehouse-inspired boutique hotel in the heart of Soho.

Arguably one of the trendiest blocks in Downtown, Crosby Street is conveniently nestled between the East and West sides, making morning strolls with furry companions to either Thompkins or Washington Square Park a breeze.

The Ludlow is a Lower East Side hotel that feels like a Lower East Side hotel. By which we mean, this place is cool af. Forget the ostentation glitz and glam of the city’s headline hotels (you know the ones we mean) and instead book a stay in somewhere with a louche luxe aesthetic to truly envy. Here are a few ‘things to note’: the handmade silk rugs, artisan Moroccan lamps and other artsy additions to each room; the white-tiled bathrooms with Hollywood Golden Era mirrors and the hotel’s decadent restaurant Dirty French, which serves up European classics with a devil-may-care twist. Is it any surprise this place is fine with you bringing your dachshund? Pet-friendly is totally in keeping with the laid-back vibes here.

Mood? So cool it (almost) hurts.

Cue happy music. You could also use this perk to make the most of being near the theatre district, maybe. Though if you fancy staying in, there's a newspaper and wine hour every day. There's the dream right there. Lovely stuff.

Mood? Contemporary luxe.

That goes for pets, too. The Roxy will hook little guys up with organic treats from as well as plush bedding, gourmet food, water bowls... and doggy bags (obviously!). Plus, the property’s sister hotel, Soho Grand, is just a five-minute walk away and welcomes Roxy guests and their four-legged pals to play in its private dog park equipped with fire hydrant water stations, benches, and a slew of playtime-ready pups. You're also right in the middle of Lower Manhattan, so you and your companion won't be short on things to do.

Once known as the Hotel Beverly, this architectural gem has been putting up New York City visitors since 1927—and it's gone to the dogs ever since. No, not like that. The hotel offers furry guests a stellar welcome package. Think treats, toys, a collapsible water bowl, paw wipes, and plastic bags for walks around town.
