Best Pet-Friendly Hotels in Palm Springs
Where the dog is genuinely welcome, not merely tolerated
Palm Springs Spots Editors · Published Aug 28, 2026 · Updated Aug 28, 2026
Palm Springs is an easy dog town — patios allow them, the Downtown grid is walkable, and plenty of hotels take them without a fuss. The variables worth checking are the fee, the weight limit, and whether the dog can sit with you at the pool.
Fees and limits
Pet fees in the valley are usually a flat charge per stay rather than per night, but weight caps vary. Some properties allow dogs in the room only, not poolside.
Summer heat is the real constraint
Pavement in June through September can hit temperatures that burn paws within minutes. Walk early morning or after dark, and pick a hotel with shaded ground and grass if you are visiting in summer.
Where to walk
Downtown's grid and the Uptown Design District are the easiest on-leash walks. Most desert hiking trails within the city limits restrict dogs, so plan neighborhood loops instead.
