Many Miami hotels allow pets -- and you can use our handy search function to see all of them -- but the hotels on this list offer everything from gourmet food to four-legged pedicures. Size and species restrictions are common, so if your best friend happens to be a cat, an iguana, or a 110-pound great Dane, hotels like the Epic and the Loews are more flexible. Whenever booking a room, be sure to call and confirm that your pet fits that hotel's specific policies.
Update Availability and Prices
1.
Epic Hotel
The Epic is a pro at pampering -- doggie mats, bowls, and Yip-Yap breath mints come standard in the rooms booked for guests traveling with dogs. Pets can also get pedicures, a shampoo, toys, and one-hour daily walks as part of the Epic Pet Getaway package. Like all other Kimpton Group hotels, there is no cleaning deposit required, no hidden fees, and no restrictions on weight, size, or even type of pet -- cats, birds, turtles, and snakes are all welcome. Best of all, there are no off-limit areas for pets in the resort -- feel free to take Precious to the pool.

Loews Miami Beach Hotel
- Average Price: $256/avg. night
- Pearls: Rating: 4.0 Pearls
- Location: South Beach, Miami
Offering pet tags, bowls, and gourmet room-service treats -- for both pets and humans -- the Loews is an especially pet-friendly hotel. Leashes, collars, beds, scratching posts, pooper-scoopers, litter boxes, catnip, and rawhide bones are also available by request (and for a price). Located directly on the beach, the location is also perfect for walks on the boardwalk. There are no weight restrictions on pets -- unlike at most hotels -- but there is a one-time $25 fee, a two-pet maximum, and some off-limit areas around the hotel pool. Third-party pet-walking and -sitting information is provided at check-in.
