Summary of the Best Dog Hotels in Miami
We started with Novotel, which provides employees who can speak three languages, fair pricing, comfortable rooms, and beautiful views.
Hyde Midtown is child-friendly, and the rooms are beautiful. At Hyde, you can choose to stay in and relax or go wandering to places nearby, including shopping opportunities and places to view pleasant art.
Our third on the list is The Four Seasons, where employees are fluent in eight different languages. The Four Seasons is very child-friendly, equipped with children’s areas and in-room day care services. This hotel is also great for getting around and has a 24-hour business program for work trips.
Mr. C Coconut Grove has one of the most comforting suites around, with premium bedding and furniture, large TVs, and even in-room massages. Enjoy what this lodging has available on-site with fitness classes, lounges, and spas.
Another fair-priced hotel is Residence Inn. This Miami hotel offers the most activities to enjoy; however, the least amount of places to tour around are within walking distance. What makes Residence Inn great is you get complimentary breakfast every morning.
The sixth hotel discussed, the Kimpton EPIC Hotel, is the most accommodating, with a fair price, the most to do, the best suites, the best view, and a location right in the middle of all the action.
Next, we have Hyatt House Miami Airport. Of all the hotels on the list that charge fees for pets, this facility has the lowest price for a pet deposit but requires a cleanup fee. Equipped with a spa, 24-hour fitness opportunities, soaker tubs in your suite, Free WI-FI, and laundry availability, you can feel right at home.
Eighth on our list is Hyatt Centric Brickell Miami. Also equipped with free WI-FI, you might need it here because the hotel’s only activity is 24-hour fitness. While one activity might be sufficient for many people, there are amenities The Magic City offers nearby for those who want to take in the sights or get out of their room. Also, two pets are welcome here with a charge of only $100.
Lastly, we talked about W Miami, perhaps the most expensive hotel on our list, but also the most glorious. W Miami has the most accessibility for the disabled, is located near most art places, and has a terrace and garden for guests to enjoy. To compensate for the high price, your pets stay free of charge when you visit W Miami.
Whether you’re working on a business trip, taking your spouse and canine for a vacation, or spending quality time with the entire family, there is a dog-friendly place in Miami for everyone.
