InterContinental Miami

InterContinental Miami Dog Friendly Review

The InterContinental Miami has attained our highest A+ rank, they have the highest dog friendly score in our entire directory, and they easily took the 'Dog Friendliest Hotel On Earth' crown when we certified them. With all of their rooms being dog friendly, availability won't be an issue, meaning you can always get a room for you and your canine companion. The level of canine inclusivity at this hotel speaks for itself, dogs are welcome in their bar, terrace, public areas, and even the garden, and best of all they have no weight limits so all dog breed sizes are welcome, all of which fosters a welcoming environment for canine guests.

There is a dog park right across the street, the hotel provides guidance on nearby routes, and the public green spaces and parks close by are convenient for those frequent calls of nature. The InterContinental goes the extra mile with Paws Patio, their signature weekly event on the Bayside Terrace, a vibrant local gathering every Wednesday evening with free pup cups, cool-down fountains, market stalls from local vendors, and a bar where you can meet locals with their dogs.

In the room itself your dog is properly looked after, with food and water bowls and a dog bed provided on request, and free treats kept at reception so your dog quickly falls in love with the front desk team. Unusually for a luxury hotel, dogs can also be left alone in your room, there is a published policy covering it and housekeeping are briefed at check-in whenever a dog is staying, so you can head out for the evening knowing your companion is safe and expected.

New for 2026 is their in-room canine dining menu, chef-prepared four legged fine dining delivered straight to your door. Your dog can tuck into a Pampered Pup Chicken Plate of organic chicken with fresh raw carrots, a Luxe Pup Steak Bowl of tender chopped steak, or crunch through chicken chips between meals. If you are an IHG member there are even more perks, book their PETS and POINTS package and you get a bonus of 2,000 IHG Reward Points, a custom Bark Box with treats and a custom designer dog bandana!

Their services are just as strong, the hotel can arrange dog walking, dog sitting and even grooming if you need to visit somewhere your dog cannot come with you, and poop bags and dog toys are yours for the asking. Canine care runs deeper than perks here too, they hold a formal vet partnership with Chewy Vet Care, keep a vet on call for emergencies, and carry specific insurance coverage for canine guests. There is a flat fee of $100 per stay, which is reasonable given the perks, inclusivity and services on offer, and you can bring up to two dogs per room.

What really sets this hotel apart is Rocco, their dedicated canine concierge and a fantastic resource for anyone staying with a dog. Message Rocco any time, day or night, and he will point you to dog friendly restaurants nearby, the closest dog beach, walk routes and emergency vets, and help you order from the canine menu, so you always have an expert on everything dog friendly in Miami right in your pocket.
