2026 Canine Hospitality Award Winner
Hotel of the Year
InterContinental Miami holds the number one spot on our global leaderboard, the most dog friendly hotel we have ever assessed.
The Setting
On Biscayne Bay
The InterContinental rises over the water in downtown Miami, its tower looking out across Biscayne Bay with a palm-lined baywalk at its feet. It is a grand city hotel that never asks your dog to hide. Dogs are welcome through the bar, the terrace, the public areas and even the garden, in every single room, with no weight limit and no games at check-in.
Why It Won
Why It Won Hotel of the Year
Hotel of the Year goes to the single highest score in the entire Roch directory, and InterContinental Miami has held it for two years running. It did not earn the Most Dog Friendly Hotel on Earth crown on charm. It earned it on more than seventy verified data points, from where dogs are welcome to what waits for them in the room.
