Traveling with a pet has become less of a niche request and more of an expectation. Across Greater Miami and Key West, hotels are embracing four-legged guests with elevated amenities, thoughtful service and easy access to the region’s best beaches, parks and neighborhoods. Whether it’s a welcome treat at check-in or a pet concierge on call, these properties prove that luxury extends to every member of the family.

At The Betsy, dogs receive the same warm hospitality as the guests who travel with them. The Michelin Key hotel in South Beach’s Art Deco Historic District is home to three beloved resident dogs: golden retrievers Betsy and Rosa, who serve as the hotel’s Canine Executive Officers, and Daisy, a rescued German shepherd. Guests often meet the trio at the hotel’s weekly Friday happy hour. Four-legged visitors are welcomed with house-made treats at check-in, and half of every pet fee is donated to the Harare SPCA in Zimbabwe, honoring hotel co-owner Lesley Goldwasser’s home country.
