It’s always hard saying goodbye to our furry friends when embarking on your new vacations… but it doesn’t have to be anymore! You can take your dogs with you to enjoy the luxury stay at some amazing spots. Follow along below to see The Best California Dog-Friendly Hotels. 

Fairmont Sonoma Mission & Inn

The elegant and amazing Fairmont Sonoma Mission & Inn hotel is the perfect dog-friendly stay. Aside from the gorgeous Mission-inspired architecture, you’ll also really love their fabulous pools which I tried out during my stay at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission & Inn  you can read here.

A beautiful lobby entrance takes my breath away every time.

The Fairmont Sonoma Mission & Inn is the perfect way to pamper yourself and your furry friends. There’s plenty to interest your dog, with many pet amenities such as dog beds, bowls and acres of lawns. There are also several nearby trails for the perfect morning or evening walk.

Ernestine definitely made the most of the dog treats available at the concierge.

We absolutely loved staying at the Fairmont Sonoma and can’t wait for our next visit!

The Healdsburg Hotel

If you know me, you know I love to visit the Hotel Healdsburg! I’m not the only one that loves it, my Frenchie Ernestine is also a big fan of this gorgeous hotel. It’s perfect for you both to have an amazing and relaxing stay.

Are you looking to get away to make the most of Sonoma’s wine country and experience some of the world’s finest vineyards, restaurants and shops right at your fingertips? Then this is the place for you!

The hotel staff make sure to make your pet feel at home, with their own dog bowl and bed.

Kenwood Inn & Spa

My stay at this beautiful inn in Kenwood was absolutely gorgeous. Ernie & I stayed here in the summer and they made all sorts of great accommodations for her to feel at home! They only have one dog-friendly room, so make sure to call the inn to find out the availability!

My dog Ernestine loved this grand entrance. We both felt very special during our stay, especially with breakfast in bed…

 The staff at the Kenwood Inn & Spa made traveling with my dog so easy.

Little River Inn

The Little River Inn is about as classic as it gets. This hotel’s gorgeous victorian architecture perfectly captures the spirit of Mendocino and their location on the coast is unmatched! Not only do I have a blog post that goes into detail about my stay at The Little River Inn here but I also have a separate blog post dedicated to their restaurant.

Upon checking in we were welcomed with a dog bed, bowl and treats for Ernestine. I love it when hotels are dog friendly AND have the amenities so you just show up with your dog and food and they provide the rest!

Mark Hopkins Intercontinental Hotel

I was immediately speechless upon arriving for my Mark Hopkins Intercontinental Stay because of the glorious entrance. It almost feels like you’re arriving to a different country due to the elegant and historic charm.

Ernestine had the absolute best time at this hotel, can’t wait to come back!

Montage Healdsburg

One of the best parts of the Montage Healdsburg is that it is a fantastic dog-friendly hotel. I love taking Ernestine with me on any adventure I can and she loves it just as much.

Ernestine loves getting treated like a princess wherever she goes, and the staff at Montage Healdsburg were no exception. They are beyond dog-friendly and perfect for traveling with your dog.

As soon as you walk into the rooms at Montage Healdsburg, you’re greeted by the most gorgeous views. A beautiful living space, bedroom, and bathroom guaranteed to make your stay special.

Ernestine was just as excited to be greeted in the hotel room with an array of items for her.

Olea Hotel

On my recent trip to Glen Ellen, I stayed at the Olea Hotel which is a super luxe boutique hotel that’s dog-friendly. Olea Hotel sits on the hillside of Sonoma Valley where the views of the valley are picture-perfect.

Ritz Carlton San Francisco

The Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco has so much to offer, and there’s so much to love. Truly one of the best San Francisco Luxury Hotels! I highly recommend the Club Level (literally the BEST of the BEST) which offers guests a private lounge throughout the day for snacks, drinks and of course breakfast service.

Daylight views of the lounge. Read more about the fabulous lounge and my experience on the full post here.

Stavrand Hotel

You’re guaranteed to have a beautiful and luxurious stay when visiting The Stavrand Hotel in Guerneville. Located in the Russian River Valley, there is so much to do from wine, food, and hiking. They also treated my Ernestine like royalty while we stayed here which made it that much more special.
