Plenty of Miami hotels call themselves pet-friendly. These five offer real services for your pet, from beds and bowls to courtesy bags (and both Kimptons take dogs of any size, free).
How we selected these pet-friendly hotels
A hotel made this list only if its pet policy is detailed and checkable. That means:
- At least one documented pet service such as welcome amenities, pet beds, bowls, walking referrals, or a pet menu
We left out hotels whose pet policy we couldn't confirm in detail. The five properties below are in Miami Beach, downtown Miami and Coral Gables. Two are 5-star and three are 4-star.

What to confirm before you arrive with a pet
- Call the hotel directly to confirm the current pet fee, as published rates can change and some properties charge per night while others charge per stay.
- Ask whether your specific room type is pet-designated. Some hotels restrict pets to certain floors or room categories.
- Miami's summer heat averages 88°F to 91°F from June through September. Ask the concierge about shaded walking routes and the nearest dog-friendly green space before you arrive.
- South Pointe Park at the southern tip of Miami Beach and Flamingo Park at 1001 12th Street in Miami Beach both allow leashed dogs and are within reach of the Miami Beach properties on this list.
- If you are traveling with a cat, call the hotel directly to ask specifically about cat acceptance. Most hotel pet policies are written with dogs in mind, and cat acceptance is not always stated online.
Pet-friendly amenities and Miami's outdoor options
Miami is warm all year, so you'll be outside with your dog every day. Loews Miami Beach and Kimpton Palomar South Beach are each about a 16- to 17-minute walk from Flamingo Park, which has a dedicated dog run at 1001 12th Street. South Pointe Park at 1 Washington Avenue, where leashed dogs are welcome along the waterfront path, is a short ride from all three Miami Beach hotels.
Kimpton EPIC in downtown Miami is the closest of the five to Bayfront Park at 301 Biscayne Boulevard, and the hotel's own pet page names the Bayfront Dog Park as the most convenient off-leash spot downtown. Ask the concierge where the nearest vet is when you check in, before you need one.
