Kimpton has built its reputation as the industry’s most pet-forward hotel brand. All pets are welcome, with no fees, weight limits, or breed restrictions.
Unlike most pet-friendly hotels, which primarily accommodate dogs, Kimpton welcomes all pets, whether it’s your dog, cat, lizard, or pet rabbit, as long as they fit through the door.
With more than 85 properties globally and over 50 in the United States, there's likely a property wherever your next trip takes you, and your pet should most definitely join.
Whichever Kimpton you choose, in-room water and food bowls, treats, and loaner pet beds are provided, and pets are welcome in common areas, including the complimentary nightly wine hour.
But some properties take perks a step further, including these five Kimpton hotels that make humans and pets feel extra welcome.

Kimpton Hotel Eventi, New York City
Chelsea's 292-room Kimpton Hotel Eventi is four blocks from Madison Square Park with a lively, modern vibe plus spacious rooms, which is a rarity for New York City hotels.
The fifth-floor Veranda overlooks Sixth Avenue and the Empire State Building, and an outdoor plaza hosts art installations and film screenings. Complimentary cruiser bikes make it easy to get out and explore.
But when it comes to pets, this hotel has a special representative presiding over things: Liza, a Boston Terrier and the hotel's official Director of Pet Relations.
Outside of Liza’s warm welcome, dog-friendly perks include courtesy doggie bags stocked for those who forget to pack them. And if your pup has met their fur-ever mate, Kimpton offers a dog wedding package ($1,099+) where two dogs can say 'I do,’ complete with attire, a wedding cake, custom vows, and an Insta-worthy balloon arch backdrop.
Room rates start around $300.
Kimpton Canary Hotel, Santa Barbara
The Kimpton Canary Hotel is a 97-room Spanish-style boutique hotel in downtown Santa Barbara with stylish rooms that feature four-poster canopy beds, Italian Frette linens, hand-painted tiles, and wrought-iron accents.
The rooftop pool is the largest in downtown Santa Barbara, while the on-site restaurant Finch & Fork sources seafood and produce locally.
It’s also a draw for dogs as the hotel offers an exclusive doggie dining menu with fresh meals delivered to your door, plus pet treats stocked in the lobby.
The hotel’s location is also fantastic for pet owners with several outdoor pet-friendly spaces that are a short drive away. Douglas Family Preserve offers 70 acres of off-leash trails with ocean views; Arroyo Burro Beach has off-leash sand and dog-washing stations; and MacKenzie Park features separate fenced areas for small and large breeds.
The hotel concierge can also connect you with nearby dog daycares and in-room pet-sitting services.
Room rates start around $350.
Kimpton Brice Hotel, Savannah
The Kimpton Brice Hotel is a 145-room boutique hotel set in a former 19th-century Coca-Cola bottling plant in Savannah's Historic District. Rooms combine classic Southern beauty and modern touches with floor-to-ceiling windows, seersucker bathrobes, and signature yellow accents.
On-site, you'll find the Secret Garden courtyard with a fire pit and string lights, an outdoor pool, and Pacci Italian Kitchen + Bar.
The Brice also takes pet hospitality very seriously. Pet-owning guests are assigned to first- or second-floor rooms for easy outdoor access, and Washington Square, which is a walkable green space, is right across the street.
Dogs are welcome at the nightly wine hour in the courtyard and even at designated tables inside Pacci, where the kitchen can deliver a chef-curated pup meal to your table.
Room rates start around $200.
Kimpton Vero Beach Hotel & Spa, Treasure Coast
The Kimpton Vero Beach is a 113-room West Indies-style resort on Florida's Treasure Coast with direct beach access, an oceanside pool, and a full-service spa.
Rooms are done up in dark mahogany accents with Jerusalem stone floors and private balconies in some cases, and there are also two on-site restaurants for locally sourced seafood and casual bites. Both are oceanfront with pet-friendly patios. At check-in, pet guests receive a welcome bandana, a complimentary treat bag, and a Polaroid photo that’s displayed in the lobby during your stay, and yours to take home after.
There’s also a nearby dog park with open fields and river access for swimming. Just a quick stroll away, Cravings Bakery and Cafe serves dog-friendly ice cream.
Room rates start around $239.
Kimpton Claret Hotel, Denver
Newly opened in 2024, the 190-room Kimpton Claret Hotel sits in Denver's up-and-coming Belleview Station neighborhood.
It's named after the Claret Cup Cactus, Colorado's official state cactus, known for its iconic deep red blooms. The hotel’s design is inspired by Colorado’s rugged terrain, as seen in the lobby’s statement fireplace. Dining includes Saverina for Italian-inspired wood-fired dishes and the 19th-floor Halo Rooftop Bar that has unobstructed views of the Front Range, Greenwood Village, and Cherry Creek Reservoir.
Pets are more than welcome here, and assigned to dedicated floors. Upon arrival, they receive Colorado pet treats and a curated map of nearby pet-friendly spots, such as the adjacent Belleview Station Dog Park and High Line Canal trail, which are steps away. Also on the map: several dog-friendly eateries with patios, like Tap & Burger and Urban Egg, and Belleview Beer Garden, which is right next to the dog park.
Room rates start around $185.
The Shortcut
Travelers who like to bring their pets on vacation know Kimpton to be one of the most pet-friendly hotel brands, with reasonable room rates.
All pets are welcome at every Kimpton property, with no extra pet fees or size or breed restrictions.
In-room water and food bowls, and loaner beds are available at all Kimpton properties, but select hotels go further with exclusive pet perks like welcome treats, pet menus, and even tongue-in-cheek wedding packages.
