Pet-Friendly Hotels in Boston, MA

With a nickname like "America's Walking City," Boston is the ultimate pet-friendly destination, offering plenty to see and do for visitors and their furry companions. The town's rich culture and famous history come alive at the many landmarks and destinations, and most are just a short walk away. Stay near these fascinating attractions at our cat-friendly and dog-friendly hotels in Boston, where the amenities promise an amazing trip to Beantown.

Start by stretching your paws along the storied Freedom Trail, where manicured parks and green spaces line the bricked paved path. Here, you can explore the 2.5-mile-long trail that is home to 16 nationally significant historic sites, including museums, churches, meeting houses, burying grounds, a ship, and historic markers that tell the story of the American Revolution. The trail connects these iconic landmarks from Boston Common in downtown Boston through to the North End to the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown.

The Charles River Bike Path is a popular biking and walking trail that covers more than 20 miles through Boston, Cambridge and into the neighboring suburbs. This is the perfect place to enjoy beautiful views of the water, shady trees, and unique bridges along the trail. You can even jump in the river yourself, since dog-friendly canoes and kayak adventures are easy to find along the waterfront.

While walking is the most popular way to explore Boston, getting around the city is also easy on the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, or the "T" as it is affectionally referred to by locals. Leashed pups can hop aboard with you and can catch a ride to whatever adventures await you. The "T" offers subways, buses, trolley cars, and boat rides to just about everywhere in the Greater Boston area and beyond.

Take a thrilling cruise around the famous Boston Harbor on a dog-friendly ride. There are designated cruises that welcome pups to feel the wind in their fur on the high seas where you can whale watch and enjoy the stunning city skyline.

The oldest city park in the county, Boston Common is a must-see legacy in the heart of Boston. Pups are allowed throughout the park and dogs will especially love the off-leash areas where they can run, romp and roam. The park also features a carousel, recreation courts, and a scenic pond. Another time-honored destination is the Boston Public Garden, America's first botanical garden. Stop by to see and smell the English landscape garden, statues, trees, flowers and pond.

For pups that enjoy the finer things in life, head to the SoWa Art and Design District, a vibrant collection of artist studios, galleries, boutiques and restaurants. Here, you can experience unique community events and eclectic offerings, including the Sowa Open Market, live entertainment and weekly art walks. We're ready to host you at our hotels in Boston that accept pets for an incredible trip for you and the whole family.
