Traveling to Los Angeles with a pet means navigating a wide range of policies, from strict weight caps to full-service pet amenities. Every property here has documented pet fees, clear rules on size and number of animals, and confirmed services that go beyond a generic welcome. We cover luxury properties and boutique options so you can match your budget to a program that works for your animal.
How we selected these pet-friendly hotels
- 1. Depth of the pet program sets placement, requiring a published fee structure, stated weight or number limits, and at least one confirmed on-site or coordinated pet service.
- 2. Star rating settles the order among hotels that met that threshold.
- 3. Alphabetical order resolves the final positions.
Where a property has not published a weight limit or confirmed whether it takes cats, the table says so rather than guessing.

What to confirm before you arrive with a pet
- Call the hotel directly to confirm the current fee structure. Published rates can change and a phone call takes two minutes.
- Ask whether your specific breed is restricted. Some properties exclude certain dog breeds regardless of weight.
- Request a pet-specific room assignment at booking. Ground-floor or garden-facing rooms make late-night walks easier.
- Confirm whether the hotel provides waste bags, bowls, and a pet bed, or whether you need to pack your own.
- Ask for the nearest 24-hour veterinary clinic address when you check in. Sunset Animal Hospital on Sunset Boulevard and VCA West Los Angeles Animal Hospital on Sepulveda Boulevard are two options near these properties.
Pet-friendly hotels in Los Angeles: what the programs actually include
Los Angeles has a large number of hotels that technically accept pets, but the gap between a policy footnote and a real pet program is significant. The five hotels here provide welcome amenities on arrival, have staff who can refer you to local dog walkers or groomers, and keep pet-specific supplies at the front desk.
The Dorchester Collection properties, Hotel Bel-Air and The Beverly Hills Hotel, are known for treating pets as guests rather than tolerated additions, though only Hotel Bel-Air made this list based on the depth of its documented program. Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills on South Doheny Drive has a long-standing pet policy with no weight cap, which is rare at the five-star level. Shutters On The Beach in Santa Monica puts you one block from the sand on Pico Boulevard, and the hotel's pet program includes a welcome amenity and waste bags. Sunset Tower Hotel on West Sunset Boulevard accepts pets with a per-night fee and provides bowls and a pet bed. Montrose at Beverly Hills on Hammond Street offers the most accessible price point on this list with a flat per-stay fee and a 50-pound weight limit.
