Los Angeles, California, also known as LA, is known for being the home of the stars as well as sensational beaches. It is one of the most popular tourist cities in the United States, with about 50 million visitors every year. Los Angeles is also a pup popular place, with over 550 thousand households with at least one dog. That does not even count the millions of pets that visit with their pet parents every year.
The city is also known for its excellent weather, with very warm summers and mildly cool winters. In fact, you can enjoy outdoor activities in Los Angeles all year long without worrying about wearing a coat. The sun shines more often in LA as well, and July has an average of 364 days of sunshine, so you will be needing those sunglasses and sunscreen if you plan to visit in the summer.
So, knowing all this, you can see why there are so many dog-friendly hotels in the city. From traditional hotels with a pool and restaurant to fancy resorts with two and three-bedroom suites, several restaurants, a spa, and a fitness center. Many of them even offer entertainment like live music, comedians, or talented magicians. We found 15 dog-friendly hotels with a variety of amenities to share with you in hopes that finding what you want and need is easier.
