Traveling with FIDO is fun at Kimpton Hotels
August 26, 2025 • Travel
Over 78% of American families travel with their pets each year, and as guests plan their fall, winter, and holiday vacations, they know that at a Kimpton hotel, they’ll always have a home.
Kimpton Hotels, an IHG Brand, believes that travel is always more fun when everyone can come along, whiskers, scales, feathers, hooves, and paws included. That’s why their pet policy is simple and heartfelt, if a guest's pet fits through the door, they’re welcome to stay. There are no size limits, no breed restrictions, and our favorite part to share, there are no pet fees either. Just open arms and likely a treat or two from the welcoming Hotel Team.
While the Kimpton Tryon Park Hotel in Charlotte, NC, has only hosted cats and dogs so far, the pet love across Kimpton hotels goes beyond the ordinary. Over at the Kimpton Hotel Monaco in Salt Lake City, the guest lists have included pigs, snakes, and even a kangaroo. Meanwhile, the Kimpton Hotel Palomar Phoenix which is currently undergoing a multi-million dollar renovation, has rolled out the red carpet for bunnies hopping in for a stay.
Each pet is greeted with the same warmth, care, and “you belong here”, spirit. “Pet friendliness isn’t just a policy at Hotel Monaco Salt Lake City, it’s a reflection of our inclusive, people-first culture. By embracing pets, we create a space that feels more like home, where every guest is valued, paws, scales, and all,” said Jared Tomlinson, Director of Sales & Marketing.
In addition to being a pet friendly, zero pet fee brand, many hotels go above and beyond to offer their pet guests cozy amenities like plush beds, toys, treats, and even coats appropriate for the season, while also offering up dining spaces so pets can stay with their humans while they explore the culinary scene each property has to offer.
