Miami rounds out our top three US cities for pet-friendly hotel searches. Beach and luxury hotels often have stricter pet rules than airport and highway chains, so compare the brand rules below and confirm with your hotel. Below: each chain's brand-wide rules from its official site, plus sourced Miami tips for MIA and county dog parks.
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 Miami can differ. Rows marked Check could not be read on the official site.

MIA lists these service animal and pet relief areas: Official source
Miami-Dade Parks has three kinds of dog parks. Posted rules: vaccinations up to date, a current rabies tag on the collar, leash until inside the fence, no more than 3 dogs per person, no puppies under 4 months. The county page also still lists 'Pitbulls are not allowed', citing the county ordinance. A 2023 Florida law (HB 941) ended local breed-specific bans, so this line may be outdated: ask the park before you go. Official source
