Pets Are Welcome At Sonesta

Be Our Guest—and Bring Your Best Friend, Too

Travel is better with your furry companion. That’s why we’re thrilled to welcome guests and their pets with our PAWS (Pets Are Welcome At Sonesta) program at Sonesta Hotels nationwide. And because we’re just a little bit pet-obsessed, we’re excited to announce our new partnership with Best Friends Animal Society®. Together, we’re working to make an impact in the lives of homeless pets through volunteering, adoption opportunities, and more. So next time you book a PAWS pet-friendly room with us, you can feel extra warm and fuzzy.

Make Traveling with Pets Simple

When you and your pet check in, we’ll greet you with a PAWS Welcome Letter and complimentary dog treats. Plus, we’ll have your room ready with a water dish, feeding bowl, waterproof mat for use during your stay. Pamper your pet with the addition of a cozy pet bed at Royal Sonesta, Sonesta Hotels & Resorts, and Sonesta Select hotels.

PAWS leashes, bandanas, pet waste bags, and other pet supplies are available for purchase at our pet marketplace. In addition, there are designated pet walking and potty areas at select hotels where space allows.
