It’s always an exciting time to visit Philadelphia — but it’s even more exciting when your pet can come, too.
The good news: Philadelphia is one of the most pet-friendly cities in the country.
Traveling like a local around here means having your pet in tow, and booking an overnight stay is stress-free when nearly 50% of all hotels in the city are pet-friendly.
Plus, many pet-friendly hotels in Philly go above and beyond, with pet-inclusive offerings that make it easier for pet parents to feel taken care of.
What type of offerings, you ask? They range from pets staying for free to packages that include pet bedding, chef-crafted food menus, pet-care services and even relief areas within the property.
Below, find a complete guide to pet-friendly hotels in Philadelphia, with detailed info on the hotels offering a little something extra for you and your four-legged friend.
