New York City is the second most-searched US city for pet-friendly hotels. Space is tight and rules vary a lot by hotel, and some budget chains' NYC locations take no pets at all. Below: each chain's brand-wide rules from its official site, plus sourced NYC tips for JFK and the city's dog rules.
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.
