Dog Friendly Hotels Seattle: 12 Best Places to Stay With Your Dog (2026)

The best dog friendly hotels in Seattle include Kimpton Hotel Monaco Seattle, Thompson Seattle, The Edgewater Hotel, Hotel Max, and The Alexis Royal Sonesta. Kimpton and Thompson properties charge no pet fee at all; most others run roughly $25 to $100. Here are 12 vetted picks across every price tier.

Seattle is one of the easiest big cities in the country to travel with a dog — it has more dogs than kids, a hotel scene built on independent boutiques, and a whole cluster of downtown properties that will wave your 90-pound shepherd through the lobby without blinking. Below are 12 hotels we would actually book, with what each one charges, where your dog can pee at 6 a.m., and which ones go the extra mile with beds, bowls, and treats at check-in.

One note before you book: pet fees change constantly, and front-desk policy sometimes differs from what a booking site shows. Every figure below was verified against the property or a hotel-policy database at the time of writing, but always phrase it as a question when you reserve — "what is the current pet fee, and is a pet-friendly room available for my dates?" Pet rooms are a limited inventory at nearly every hotel on this list.

Seattle Hotels That Charge No Pet Fee

Kimpton Hotel Monaco Seattle — Downtown / Financial District

The Monaco at 1101 4th Avenue is the reason Kimpton has a cult following among dog owners. The brand's policy is unusually blunt: no size, weight, or breed restrictions, no limit on the number of pets, no deposit, and no fee — "if your pet fits through the door, we will welcome them in." Water bowls come up to the room, courtesy bags are stocked for walks, and the concierge can line up a dog sitter or walker. Your dog is also invited to the nightly hosted wine reception, which is exactly as chaotic and delightful as it sounds. It carries a 4.3 across roughly 1,500 reviews.

Kimpton Hotel Vintage Seattle — Downtown

Two blocks up the hill at 1100 5th Avenue, Hotel Vintage runs the same no-fee, any-size policy but skews smaller and quieter — a Washington wine-country theme, 125-ish rooms, and a lobby wine hour that dogs are explicitly welcome to attend. Guests arriving with a dog get a welcome package at check-in with food and water bowls plus treats. It is the pick if you want the Kimpton dog treatment without the busier Monaco lobby, and it puts you a flat walk from the downtown library and a downhill roll to Pike Place.

Kimpton Palladian Hotel — Belltown

The Palladian at 2000 2nd Avenue is the Belltown entry in the Kimpton no-fee lineup, two blocks from Pike Place Market and an easy walk to the waterfront. Dog beds, bowls, and treats are available on request rather than automatic, so ask at booking. The practical advantage here is geography: there is green space beside the hotel for a quick relief stop and a dog park a few blocks out, which matters more than you would think at 6 a.m. in a dense downtown block. It rates 4.3 across nearly 1,000 reviews.

Thompson Seattle, by Hyatt — Pike Place / Downtown

Thompson Seattle at 110 Stewart Street welcomes up to two dogs of any size with no additional charge — rare for a hotel in this price bracket. Treats come at check-in, a signed pet agreement is required, and dogs cannot be left alone in the room. There is a courtyard with small patches of grass on site, and The Nest, the hotel's rooftop bar, delivers the Elliott Bay view you came to Seattle for. At 4.4 across roughly 1,600 reviews, it is the strongest luxury-tier no-fee option in the city.

Splurge-Worthy Dog-Friendly Hotels

The Edgewater Hotel — Waterfront / Pier 67

The Edgewater is Seattle's only over-water hotel, built out onto Pier 67 at 2411 Alaskan Way, with balcony rooms that hang directly above Puget Sound and look out at the Olympics. It accepts two dogs up to about 120 pounds for roughly $100 per stay (a one-time charge, not nightly — confirm at booking, as third-party sites list conflicting numbers). Cats and exotics are not accepted. The waterfront promenade out front is the single best morning dog walk of any hotel on this list. A 4.4 across more than 3,100 reviews.

The Alexis Royal Sonesta Hotel Seattle — Downtown Waterfront

At 1007 1st Avenue, the Alexis sits between Pike Place and Pioneer Square in a pair of restored early-1900s buildings. Two dogs of any size are welcome for around $80 per stay, and the Sonesta PAWS program hands over a bed, bowls, a waterproof floor mat, and treats at check-in — the waterproof mat is the detail that tells you they have actually hosted dogs before. Cats are not accepted. It holds a 4.5 across roughly 1,100 reviews, the highest of the downtown luxury group.

The Woodmark Hotel & Still Spa — Kirkland (Carillon Point)

The only hotel directly on the shore of Lake Washington, the Woodmark is a 20-minute drive from downtown Seattle and worth it if water is your dog's love language. Two dogs of any size stay for about $75 per stay, pet-friendly rooms are grouped on the third floor, and check-in includes treats and a tennis ball; beds and bowls come on request. Grassy relief areas with waste stations sit right on the property, and well-behaved dogs may be left in the room. It rates 4.6 across roughly 1,350 reviews.

The Lodge at St. Edward Park — Kenmore

Built inside a restored 1931 seminary at the north end of Lake Washington, the Lodge at St. Edward Park opens straight onto 316 acres of state park with miles of forest trail dropping down to the lakeshore. Two dogs per room, roughly $75 non-refundable per stay, and dog-friendly rooms are genuinely limited — reserve well ahead and call rather than booking blind. This is the one hotel on the list where the grounds are the destination. A 4.6 across 500-plus reviews.

Boutique and Mid-Range Picks

Hotel Max — Downtown

Hotel Max at 620 Stewart Street opened as the Vance Hotel in 1926 and now runs on art and music — an original Warhol in the lobby, photography down every corridor, and an entire floor dedicated to Sub Pop Records. Pets stay free; the optional "Pets Rock" upgrade runs about $30 per night and adds a pet bed, food and water dishes, a treat-and-toy welcome kit, and a printed list of local vets, groomers, and walkers. If your dog travels with their own bed anyway, skip the package and stay for free. It rates 4.1 across roughly 1,500 reviews.

Hotel Sorrento — First Hill

The Sorrento has stood at 900 Madison Street since 1909 and is the most atmospheric room on this list — 76 rooms, original detailing, vintage furnishings, marble baths, and the wood-paneled Fireside Room downstairs. Two pets up to roughly 80 pounds are welcome for about $25 per pet, per night. It is uphill from downtown, which is a real consideration walking a dog back after dinner, but First Hill is quiet at night and you are a short walk from Capitol Hill's dog-friendly patios. A 4.5 across nearly 1,500 reviews.

Staypineapple, The Maxwell Hotel — Lower Queen Anne / Seattle Center

Staypineapple builds its whole brand around dogs, and the Maxwell at 300 Roy Street is the most convenient of its Seattle properties, a block from Seattle Center and the Space Needle. Dogs of any size run about $30 per night, and the standard dog kit includes a dog bed, treats, waste bags, and a collapsible water bowl you keep. Notably, Staypineapple lets you leave your dog in the room while you explore, using a door hanger so housekeeping skips the room. It carries a 4.6 across more than 2,800 reviews — the best-reviewed hotel here.

Belltown Inn — Belltown

The best value on this list. Belltown Inn at 2301 3rd Avenue is a no-frills, well-kept independent with kitchenettes and a rooftop deck, and it takes two dogs of any size for about $25 per night. Dog guests are assigned to the first two floors — a genuine perk when you are doing the last walk of the night. There is a dog park directly across the street, treats in the lobby, and a 25% discount at a nearby dog daycare if you have a day of meetings. A 4.3 across roughly 2,360 reviews.

What Seattle Hotels Actually Charge for Dogs

Seattle splits into three rough tiers. The no-fee tier is dominated by Kimpton (Monaco, Vintage, Palladian) and Hyatt's Thompson — all of which take dogs of any size at no charge, which can save $150 or more on a five-night stay. The middle tier is nightly: roughly $25 to $30 per night at Belltown Inn, Hotel Sorrento, and the Staypineapple properties, usually capped at two dogs. The top tier is a one-time per-stay charge — around $75 at the Woodmark and the Lodge at St. Edward Park, around $80 at the Alexis, around $100 at the Edgewater — which works out cheaper than a nightly fee on any stay longer than about three nights.

Three things nearly every Seattle hotel shares: pet-friendly rooms are a limited block, not the whole building; most properties cap you at two dogs; and cats are frequently excluded even where dogs are welcome. Weight limits are less common in Seattle than in most cities, but the Sorrento (around 80 pounds) and the Edgewater (around 120 pounds) do have them. Confirm the number at booking rather than at check-in — fees are the single most commonly out-of-date detail on any hotel listing, including this one.

Know Before You Go: Seattle Dog Rules

• Leash law. Seattle requires dogs to be leashed everywhere except inside designated off-leash areas, and that includes hotel grounds, sidewalks, and parks. Fines are real.
• Scoop, always. Seattle's municipal code requires you to carry a bag and remove waste, including on hotel property. Most downtown hotels have very little green space, so plan your route.
• Restaurant patios only. Washington's food-safety code keeps dogs out of indoor dining rooms, so hotel restaurants will seat you outside with a dog. Service animals are exempt.
• Do not leave a dog unattended. Thompson, Staypineapple, Belltown Inn, and most others explicitly prohibit it or require prior approval. The Woodmark and Kimpton are the notable exceptions for calm dogs.
• Rain is the whole year. Pack a towel and a drying mat. Wet-dog-on-hotel-carpet is how properties end up adding cleaning fees.
• Book the pet room directly. Third-party sites frequently sell a room the hotel cannot honor as pet-friendly. Call, or book on the property's own site and add the pet in the reservation notes.

Making a Weekend of It in Seattle

Pick your hotel by what you plan to do. Staying downtown puts you inside walking distance of the waterfront promenade, Pike Place, and a dense cluster of dog-friendly coffee shops in Seattle for the morning after. If your trip is about beer and patios, the Belltown and Queen Anne hotels sit closest to the city's dog-friendly breweries. Water dogs should look north and east — the Woodmark and the Lodge at St. Edward Park both put you on Lake Washington, and our guide to water activities for dogs in Seattle covers where to actually get in. And when the forecast turns, which it will, an indoor dog park will save your afternoon.

Frequently Asked Questions

What hotels in Seattle allow dogs for free?

Kimpton Hotel Monaco, Kimpton Hotel Vintage, and Kimpton Palladian all accept pets at no charge with no size, weight, or breed restrictions. Thompson Seattle, by Hyatt also welcomes up to two dogs with no pet fee. Hotel Max lets pets stay free and only charges if you add its optional amenity package.

How much is the pet fee at Seattle hotels?

Expect roughly $25 to $30 per night at mid-range properties like Belltown Inn, Hotel Sorrento, and Staypineapple, or a one-time charge of about $75 to $100 per stay at the Woodmark, the Lodge at St. Edward Park, the Alexis, and the Edgewater. Several Kimpton and Hyatt properties charge nothing. Confirm at booking — fees change often.

Do Seattle hotels have dog weight limits?

Most do not. Kimpton, Thompson, the Alexis, the Woodmark, and the Staypineapple hotels all accept dogs of any size. The main exceptions are Hotel Sorrento, which caps around 80 pounds, and The Edgewater, around 120 pounds. Nearly every hotel does limit you to two dogs per room.

Can I leave my dog alone in a Seattle hotel room?

Usually not. Thompson Seattle, Belltown Inn, and the Staypineapple properties either prohibit it or require a signed agreement, though Staypineapple provides a door hanger so housekeeping skips the room. The Woodmark allows well-behaved dogs to stay unattended, and Kimpton is generally permissive. Ask when you check in rather than assuming.

Which Seattle neighborhood is best for a hotel stay with a dog?

Belltown and the waterfront give you the most walkable green space and the shortest trip to the promenade, with the Palladian, Belltown Inn, and Edgewater all clustered there. Lower Queen Anne near the Maxwell is quieter with easy access to Seattle Center. If you want trails instead of sidewalks, head to Kenmore or Kirkland.

Do Seattle hotels provide dog beds and bowls?

Many do. The Alexis provides a bed, bowls, a waterproof mat, and treats through its PAWS program; Staypineapple gives you a bed, treats, waste bags, and a collapsible bowl to keep; Hotel Vintage hands over bowls and treats at check-in. At Kimpton Palladian and the Woodmark, beds and bowls come on request, so ask at booking.
