Traveling to Miami with a pet means more than finding a hotel that tolerates animals. These five hotels have documented pet policies with published fees, clear weight and number limits, and on-site or coordinated services that make the stay workable for both you and your pet. Each entry covers what you actually need to know before booking.
How we selected these pet-friendly hotels
A hotel made this list by having a verifiable, detailed pet policy, not a vague mention in the fine print. That means a published fee structure, stated weight or number limits, and at least one documented pet service such as welcome amenities, pet beds, bowls, walking referrals, or a pet menu. Hotels where the pet policy could not be confirmed with specifics were excluded. The five properties below span luxury, upper-upscale, and boutique segments across Miami Beach, Brickell, and Coconut Grove.

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 South Beach properties on this list.
- If you have a cat, confirm acceptance by phone. 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's year-round warm climate makes outdoor time with a pet a daily reality rather than a seasonal bonus. The South Beach properties on this list sit within a short drive or rideshare of Flamingo Park, which has a dedicated dog run at 1001 12th Street, and South Pointe Park at 1 Washington Avenue, where leashed dogs are welcome along the waterfront path. The Brickell and Coconut Grove properties are closer to Bayfront Park at 301 Biscayne Boulevard, where leashed dogs can walk the waterfront promenade. Ask each hotel's concierge for the nearest veterinary clinic, as response times matter in an unfamiliar city.
