Austin welcomes pets at many downtown and South Congress hotels. Below: verified hotels with published pet fees and weight limits, plus AUS tips.
Policies change: confirm with the hotel. Pet fees, weight limits and the number of pets are set by each brand and often by each hotel, and can change without notice. We read every chain’s official page on . Call or message the hotel to confirm before you book, and declare your pet at check-in.
Last checked on each chain’s official website. Fees in US dollars, weights in pounds. Brand rules are a starting point: a franchised hotel in Austin can differ. Rows marked Check could not be read on the official site.
