10 of the Best Pet-Friendly Hotels in New Orleans, LA

While deciding to bring your favorite pet along on a New Orleans trip may prevent you from visiting a few select boutique or historic hotels, other locations actively welcome pets. In fact, many hotels in New Orleans offer pet-friendly accommodations and packages. As you plan your getaway, stick with hotels that make it abundantly clear that pets are not only allowed, but welcomed with open arms. Here are 10 of the best pet-friendly hotels in New Orleans, Louisiana.

1. The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans

  • Address: 921 Canal Street
  • Pet Fee: $150
  • Highlights: Convenient location, friendly concierge

Offering the epitome of luxury for humans and dogs, The Ritz-Carlton reflects the elegance of a historic Southern mansion but does not prevent canine companions from enjoying this lavish setting. This AAA Four Diamond stay is preferable for visitors with small dogs, however, as The Ritz-Carlton maintains a strict limit of 30 pounds and just one pet per room. Make the most of the convenient Canal Street location and be sure to check out the courtyard.

2. The Windsor Court

  • Address: 300 Gravier Street
  • Pet Fee: $150
  • Highlights: Sauna, steam room, pet program

The Windsor Court does not merely allow pets, it actively encourages them to visit with their Pampered Pets Program. This AAA Four Diamond hotel offers many pet-centric perks, including plush beds and upscale water bowls. The concierge can even help you find pet-sitting services so you can take a break and check out the region's more human-focused attractions. Otherwise, you can make the most of the hotel's walking map as you explore New Orleans' iconic sights with your dog by your side.

3. The Roosevelt New Orleans, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel

  • Address: 130 Roosevelt Way
  • Pet Fee: $175
  • Highlights: Convenient location, spacious suites available

Treat your four-legged friend to a glamorous experience at the AAA Four Diamond designated Roosevelt New Orleans. Only small dogs and cats are allowed (due to a strict weight limit of 25 pounds) but for the luxury-minded guest, this historic hotel is ideal.

The French Quarter beckons, as, just a block away, it's easily accessible for humans and canines alike. Spacious suites provide plenty of room for pets and humans to relax.

4. Q & C Hotel/Bar, Autograph Collection

  • Address: 344 Camp Street
  • Pet Fee: $75
  • Highlights: Designated pet-friendly rooms with blackout curtains

Once the tallest structure in New Orleans, the AAA Three Diamond Q & C Hotel is now one of the city’s trendiest boutique hotels. Offering cozy, but beautiful rooms, this hotel blends historic and contemporary styling to great effect. Get cozy in an exclusive robe as you cuddle with Fido or grab coffee from the Keurig so you’re ready to enjoy an active day together.

5. Hotel Monteleone

  • Address: 214 Royal Street
  • Pet Fee: $100 base fee plus $25 per night
  • Highlights: Pet package with treats and toys, pet-friendly city guide, in-kennel dining

Historic hotels abound in New Orleans, but Hotel Monteleone arguably has the strongest vintage vibes. This AAA Four Diamond hotel is well-known for its luxurious lobby and rooftop pool, but pet lovers will be far more impressed by its status as a pet-friendly hotel

Hotel Monteleone's exclusive pet package offers several perks: adorable monogrammed bowls for food and water, for example, plus gourmet treats and even chew toys. Best of all: an upscale menu that includes Bow Wow Burgers and Puppucinos for dessert.

6. Homewood Suites By Hilton New Orleans

  • Address: 901 Poydras Street
  • Pet Fee: $75
  • Highlights: Full kitchen, up to two pets allowed

If you plan on visiting New Orleans with more than one pet, look to the AAA Three Diamond designated Homewood Suites for spacious and comfortable accommodations. These suites are perfect for longer stays in which you and your pet explore at a relaxed pace; you can prepare tasty meals in the full kitchen or enjoy a delicious hot breakfast each morning. A quick walk will take you and your canine buddy to all the top attractions in the French Quarter.

7. Hampton Inn New Orleans French Quarter Market Area

  • Address: 501 Elysian Fields
  • Pet Fee: $75 for up to 4 nights, $125 for 5 nights or longer
  • Highlights: Located near walking paths, large pets allowed

There are multiple Hampton Inn locations in the New Orleans area, but relaxation-minded pet owners will likely be drawn to an appealing option just outside the French Quarter. Although major attractions remain readily accessible, this AAA Three Diamond hotel is in a more peaceful part of town.

One of the biggest perks for dog lovers: this hotel is located just one block from the Cres Park Trail, which makes for an excellent outing with energetic pups. Washington Square is also nearby. With a maximum weight of 75 pounds, this is one of few options available for large dogs.

8. Alder Hotel Uptown

  • Address: 4545 Magnolia Street
  • Pet Fee: $65
  • Highlights: Located near walking trails, multiple pets allowed

The AAA Three Diamond Alder Hotel Uptown welcomes both dogs and cats (under 50 pounds), although they cannot be left unattended in rooms. This is another situation in which staying slightly outside the French Quarter is advantageous: a short drive will take you and your dog to the Audobon Park Trail — perfect for a leisurely and shady stroll. The hotel's mid-century modern styling is visually appealing and private balconies offer views of the Freret Street neighborhood.

9. Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery

  • Address: 535 Tchoupitoulas Street
  • Pet Fee: $55
  • Highlights: Pet package, detailed pet-centric recommendations

Pets are a big deal at the Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery, which goes to great lengths to welcome dogs and their humans. As a historic hotel, this AAA Three Diamond property was created when several former warehouses were merged.

The affordable pet package provides plenty of food and treats, plus water bowls, toys and pet beds. Don't forget to read the hotel's curated list of pet recommendations, which details all the best dog-walking services and grooming salons.

10. Hotel Tonnelle New Orleans, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

  • Address: 2203 St. Charles Avenue
  • Pet Fee: $75
  • Highlights: Spacious rooms, located near parks

Pet-friendly boutique hotels can be difficult to find, but Hotel Tonnelle offers the best of both worlds: a contemporary, personalized feel and the opportunity to share this chic atmosphere with your pet. Situated within the peaceful Garden District, this AAA Three Diamond location offers a secluded feel but is actually close to top attractions.

Sizable rooms are ideal for sharing with pets, with perks including skyline views and access to the streetcar. A reasonably short walk will take you and your dog to the lovely Coliseum Square Park, which is a favorite among both local and visiting pet owners.
