Best Pet-Friendly Hotels in Miami Beach

United States

30 dog-friendly luxury hotels.

Where can my dog actually go?

Miami Beach takes dogs in the hotels and bans them from the beach, and you need to know both before you book. Of 33 hotels we researched through our booking partner, 30 take dogs. Not one can let your dog onto the sand, because the city bans dogs from the beach and the water at every public beach on the island. The only legal dog beach in Miami Beach is Bark Beach at North Shore Open Space Park around 80th Street, and Haulover's dog area is a short drive north of that. What you get instead is the paved Beachwalk running the length of the island, with pet relief stations at alternating beach entries, and Flamingo Park's dog park inland.

The hotels make up for it. The Fontainebleau has its own fenced dog park in the corner of the grounds. The Hyatt Centric has the WOOFTOP, a rooftop dog park with a bar serving a Mutt Mojito. The Betsy on Ocean Drive is run by a family whose golden retrievers are the Canine Executive Officers, seats dogs at its outdoor bar and restaurant, offers canine massage in the spa and waives the fee if you book direct. The Andaz and the Standard Spa let dogs onto the pool deck. Kimpton Surfcomber, the Standard Spa, 1 Hotel and the Setai take dogs free, and Surfcomber, Loews, Nautilus and the Standard have no size limit.

Loews runs its Loews Loves Pets programme with a gourmet dog menu for USD 50. Nobu and Eden Roc send a BarkBox to the room and book an in-room sitter by the hour. The Ritz-Carlton South Beach has a dog room-service menu. Most of the rest, including the EDITION, Faena, Setai, Plymouth and National, cap the dog at 20 to 25 lb. May to October is hot, humid and stormy, so plan dawn and dusk walks on the Beachwalk.

Before you go

What happens when you get there

No dogs on the sand
Miami Beach bans dogs from the sand and the water at every public beach on the island, and no hotel can override it. The city's only dog beach is Bark Beach at North Shore Open Space Park around 80th to 81st Street. Haulover Beach's dog area is a short drive north, and Hobie Beach on the Rickenbacker Causeway is the nearest from the Standard Spa on Belle Isle.
Where the dog can go
The paved Beachwalk runs from South Pointe to 46th Street and beyond, with pet relief stations at alternating beach entries. Lummus Park along Ocean Drive, Collins Park, and South Pointe Park's paths all take leashed dogs. Flamingo Park has a fenced dog park a few blocks inland from South Beach.
Dog parks on site
The Fontainebleau has a fenced dog park in the northeast corner of the grounds. The Hyatt Centric has the rooftop WOOFTOP. Andaz has a fenced grassy relief area across the street. Faena has a sandy relief area, and the Ritz-Carlton, Eden Roc, Setai, Carillon and Dream have grassy relief areas on the property.
Pools and patios
Andaz and the Standard Spa welcome dogs on the pool deck, not in the water. The Betsy seats dogs at its outdoor bar and restaurant, the Cadillac on its patio, the Standard Spa at the Lido bayside restaurant, and the Hyatt Centric at the WOOFTOP bar. Everywhere else keeps dogs out of dining and the pool.
Weight limits
No limit at Kimpton Surfcomber, Loews, Nautilus, the Standard Spa and the Betsy. 75 lb at the Goodtime and Cadillac. 50 lb at Fontainebleau, Andaz, W South Beach, Grand Beach, Hilton Bentley and 1 Hotel (combined). 45 lb at Shelborne. 35 lb at Ritz-Carlton and Carillon. 30 lb at Marriott Stanton and Dream. 25 lb at the EDITION, Faena, Casa Faena, Nobu, Lennox, Plymouth and National. 20 lb at Setai, Eden Roc, Mondrian, Moxy and Hyatt Centric.
Leaving the dog
Kimpton Surfcomber, Fontainebleau, W South Beach, Ritz-Carlton, the Standard Spa, the Betsy, Marriott Stanton and Eden Roc allow a well-behaved dog alone in the room. Faena, Dream and Hilton Bentley allow it crated. Loews, Andaz, 1 Hotel, Setai, Carillon, Nobu, Mondrian and Grand Beach don't. Nobu and Eden Roc book an in-room sitter by the hour.
Best walks
The Beachwalk from South Pointe Park to the Fontainebleau at dawn, Lummus Park along Ocean Drive, the Venetian Causeway from Belle Isle, Collins Park to the Botanical Garden, and Bark Beach at North Shore Open Space Park for the one stretch of sand your dog is allowed on.
When to go
November to April. Summer is humid, stormy and hot underfoot on the Beachwalk, and the pool decks that take dogs are the only refuge.
