Seven Most Popular Dog-Friendly Hotels in NYC

Traveling to New York City but don’t want to leave your four-legged pooch at home? Although majority of New York City hotels do not allow pets, you will be relieved knowing that there are a number of great hotels in the Big Apple that do love dogs and even other pets, too! Here are some of the most popular dog-friendly hotels in NYC.

High Peaks Resort

At the High Peaks Resort, dogs are considered as family members and are most welcome in the hotel. It is one of the few pet-friendly accommodations in Lake Placid offering dog-friendly rooms with easy outdoor access and special dog treats at check in. A portion of your pet fee is donated to The Joshua Fund, a local organization that helps pups without humans find their fur-ever homes.

Situated in the heart of Lake Placid, surrounded by the Adirondack Mountains – the largest publicly protected wilderness area in the United States, the High Peaks Resort is also an eco-friendly hotel. Guests have the option to decline daily housekeeping to save water and energy, and they get a $5 credit/day without cleanup which can be used in any of the hotel’s on-site bars and restaurants or donated to the Lake Watershed Association. High Peaks Resort is also a member of Clean The World, the largest global recycler of hotel amenities.

Rate: $25 per pet per stay
