Orlando is the most-searched US city for pet-friendly hotels. Most big chains take pets here, but fees, weight limits and the number of pets differ by brand and by hotel. Below: the brand-wide rules from each chain's official site, plus sourced Orlando tips for the airport and 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.
