The 10 Most Iconic Pet-Friendly Hotels in Los Angeles

From the Pink Palace to the Sunset Strip, these legendary addresses understand that the most important guest may be the one wearing a collar.

By Marco Pablo

Los Angeles has always understood the power of a plus-one. But lately, the city’s most important hotel guest may not be a producer, an actor, or someone avoiding the paparazzi. It may be the dog arriving beside them.

I couldn’t help but wonder: if a hotel remembers our pillow preference, shouldn’t it also remember the name of the person who sleeps at our feet?

From storied Hollywood hideaways to oceanfront grande dames, these are the ten most iconic hotels across greater Los Angeles where four-legged guests are invited to share the fantasy.

1. The Beverly Hills Hotel

Best for: The complete Pink Palace fantasy

Some hotels belong to a city. The Beverly Hills Hotel practically invented its city’s mythology. With its pink façade, banana-leaf wallpaper, legendary pool, Polo Lounge, and private bungalows, it remains one of the most unmistakable addresses in Hollywood.

Dogs receive their own welcome treat and bed, which feels appropriate. At the Pink Palace, even the smallest guest deserves a proper arrival.

Hollywoof check-in: Up to two fully house-trained dogs weighing no more than 45 pounds each are welcome. The fee is $150 per stay, and dogs cannot be left unattended. View the official pet policy.

2. Chateau Marmont

Best for: Hollywood mystery and discreet entrances

Chateau Marmont is less a hotel than a very beautiful secret everyone happens to know. Perched above Sunset Boulevard, it has witnessed enough Hollywood history to fill several memoirs, none of which it would ever confirm.

Dogs fit naturally into the Chateau’s private, residential atmosphere. They do not ask who is in the neighboring bungalow, and they never speak to the press.

Hollywoof check-in: Pets are welcome, but guests must notify the hotel in advance and sign a waiver at arrival. The hotel does not publicly list its current pet fee or size limits, so confirm directly before booking. Its rules also prohibit commercial or influencer photography without prior approval. Read the current booking terms.

3. Sunset Tower Hotel

Best for: Discreet, Art Deco glamour

At Sunset Tower, everyone notices who has entered, but good manners require pretending otherwise. Designed in 1929, the Art Deco landmark has long been one of the Sunset Strip’s most glamorous and guarded gathering places.

The hotel pampers pets with miniature Sunset Tower beds, bowls, and treats. William S. Hart Park sits beside the property, making the morning walk considerably more elegant.

Hollywoof check-in: A $100 non-refundable pet fee applies. See the hotel’s pet amenities.

4. Hotel Bel-Air

Best for: A private garden escape

Hidden among 12 acres of gardens, Hotel Bel-Air offers the rarest luxury in Los Angeles: the feeling that Los Angeles has disappeared. There are winding paths, bougainvillea, fountains, and swans gliding across the lake with the composure of lifelong hotel residents.

Dogs receive a bed, bowl, and treats, although the real amenity is all that greenery just outside the room.

Hollywoof check-in: The hotel charges $150 per stay and allows up to two dogs. Size restrictions apply, and the hotel’s official pages currently show conflicting weight limits, so confirm directly before reserving. Dogs cannot be left unattended. Check the hotel information.

5. The Hollywood Roosevelt

Best for: Genuine movie history

The Hollywood Roosevelt opened in 1927, hosted the first Academy Awards in 1929, and still stands directly across from the Chinese Theatre. Marilyn Monroe once lived here, and David Hockney painted the famous blue-and-white pattern at the bottom of the Tropicana Pool.

In other words, your dog will not simply be staying in Hollywood. They will be sleeping inside its opening credits.

Hollywoof check-in: Up to two dogs weighing 60 pounds or less are welcome for a $50 fee per stay. Dogs may remain in the room with a Do Not Disturb sign displayed, but housekeeping cannot enter while they are alone. Cats are not permitted, and dogs cannot enter the Tropicana Pool area. Read the official FAQ.

6. Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel

Best for: Rodeo Drive arrivals

Standing at the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and Rodeo Drive since 1928, the Beverly Wilshire became internationally recognizable as the cinematic home of Pretty Woman. Its grand entrance still makes every arrival feel slightly choreographed.

Pets receive water bowls, piddle pads, a Beverly Wilshire bed, and access to an “À La Bark” in-room dining menu. Because room service should never be reserved exclusively for humans.

Hollywoof check-in: Fully trained and vaccinated dogs and cats under 30 pounds are welcome. The hotel does not currently publish a pet fee online, so ask when booking. Explore its pet-friendly hospitality.

7. Shutters on the Beach

Best for: Barefoot coastal luxury

Shutters is the seaside version of Los Angeles glamour: white wood, blue water, flickering fireplaces, and the Pacific waiting beyond the windows. It feels less like checking into a hotel and more like borrowing an exceptionally elegant beach house.

Morning walks begin directly outside, with the Santa Monica shoreline, Ocean Front Walk, and miles of coastal scenery nearby.

Hollywoof check-in: The hotel welcomes up to two well-behaved dogs weighing 25 pounds or less. A one-time $125 fee includes a dog bed, bowl, and treats. See the official resort guide.

8. Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows

Best for: Historic bungalows beside the Pacific

The Miramar began welcoming hotel guests in 1921, when Santa Monica was becoming Hollywood’s preferred seaside escape. Its garden bungalows, palms, and ocean views still create the feeling of a resort concealed in the middle of the city.

This is the choice for a dog who appreciates both a private garden and a Pacific sunset.

Hollywoof check-in: A maximum of two dogs is allowed. The cleaning fee is $125 per pet, per stay. Animals must remain leashed and cannot be left unattended in the room. View the official guest-services policy.

9. The Langham Huntington, Pasadena

Best for: Grand-estate living

Opened in 1914, The Langham Huntington brings old-world resort glamour to 23 acres of gardens in Pasadena. It is slightly removed from central Hollywood, which is precisely the appeal: lawns, historic architecture, cottages, and enough room to breathe.

Its dedicated Dog Program may be the prettiest welcome on this list, complete with signature Langham pink.

Hollywoof check-in: The $150 Dog Program includes use of a pink porcelain pet bowl, a plush bed pillow, treats, a branded bandana, and the final deep cleaning. Explore the Langham Dog Program.

10. 1 Hotel West Hollywood

Best for: Modern, eco-conscious Hollywood

Not every icon needs to come from Hollywood’s golden age. With native greenery, natural materials, sweeping skyline views, and a location directly on Sunset Boulevard, 1 Hotel represents the city’s newer definition of luxury.

It is also one of the easiest choices for travelers with dogs. There is no added pet fee, proving that the chicest amenity may simply be being welcomed without conditions attached to the bill.

Hollywoof check-in: Up to two dogs may stay with no additional pet fee. Add them to the reservation before arrival. Read the official pet policy.

The Hollywoof Verdict

Los Angeles does not have one definition of glamour. Sometimes it is a pink bungalow hidden behind palms. Sometimes it is an Art Deco tower at sunset. Sometimes it is opening the balcony doors and letting the Pacific air into the room.

But perhaps the most meaningful luxury is not having to leave someone you love behind.

And in a city built on casting, the finest hotels understand that every memorable stay needs the right co-star.
