Pet-Friendly Hotels in Arlington, Texas
Traveling with a dog to Arlington is mostly a question of highways and parking. Interstates I-30 and I-20 cross the city, Six Flags Over Texas sits to the north, and AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field and the entertainment district lie farther south. Many hotels here accept pets, and several offer free parking and easy access from the interstate, which matters when a dog has been in the car for hours. The hotels on this page are described as pet-friendly in their listings. I note distances as the listings give them, and I remind you that rules on size and fees differ, so ask each hotel before you arrive with an animal.
Arlington is a sports and theme-park city between Dallas and Fort Worth. It is built for cars, with interstates, big parking lots and hotels that sit close to the road, which makes a trip with a dog easier than in a dense downtown.
Pet-friendly stays along I-30 and I-20
A pet-friendly stay in Arlington works best when the hotel is easy to reach from the interstate and has parking and outdoor space nearby. I list hotels whose descriptions say pets are accepted, and I add what makes each one practical: free parking, a shuttle, a pool, a kitchen or a quiet garden. I avoid promising details about pet fees or weight limits, because the listings do not give them.
The Loews Arlington Hotel and Live! by Loews - Arlington, TX are the premium pet-friendly choices near the stadiums. The Loews Arlington is a two-minute walk from the stadium district, with pet-friendly rooms, city views, free WiFi, an infinity pool, spa facilities, a sun terrace and a garden, and it holds a 9.3 rating from 781 reviews. Live! by Loews is six minutes from AT&T Stadium, with pet-friendly family rooms, a pool with a view, an outdoor fireplace, a restaurant and a bar, with 9.3 from 819 reviews. Both suit event weekends and guests who like a hotel with some atmosphere.
The Drury Plaza Hotel Dallas Arlington is the highest-rated choice here, with 9.5 from 1,313 reviews. Its listing describes pet-friendly family rooms with free WiFi and toiletries, an on-site restaurant and bar, an outdoor pool, a hot tub and free parking, 1.9 kilometers from AT&T Stadium and 5 from Six Flags Over Texas. The La Quinta by Wyndham Arlington North 6 Flags Dr is pet-friendly and less than half a mile from Six Flags, with a daily shuttle covering DFW Airport and Cowboys Stadium, rated 8.6 from 1,222 reviews. Ratings and review counts come from the listings as published, and I would still read recent guest feedback before booking a stay.
For longer stays with a dog, kitchens help. The Residence Inn by Marriott Arlington lists pet-friendly family rooms with kitchens, a sofa bed, a fitness center and a year-round outdoor pool, 2.2 kilometers from Six Flags. The Homewood Suites by Hilton Dallas Arlington South has pet-friendly rooms with kitchen facilities, a seasonal outdoor pool, a lounge, an outdoor fireplace and barbecue areas. The Residence Inn by Marriott Arlington South offers pet-friendly rooms with kitchenettes, a terrace, an outdoor fireplace and grocery delivery, 10 kilometers from AT&T Stadium. The distances quoted come from the hotel listings, not from a route calculation, so check the real drive time for your hour of travel.
For simple access from the highway, two hotels stand out. The La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fort Worth Arlington West is half a mile from Interstate 30 and lists pet-friendly rooms, complimentary daily breakfast, free WiFi and abundant free parking, six miles from AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field. The Hampton Inn & Suites Dallas-Arlington-South sits just off Interstate 20 with pet-friendly rooms, an outdoor pool, a gym, free parking and daily breakfast in the lounge. The Sanford House Inn & Spa is a four-star boutique inn with a garden, rated 9.2. Ratings and review counts come from the listings as published, and I would still read recent guest feedback before booking a stay.
A traveler's perspectiveFor a dog-friendly base close to the stadium district, I would choose the Loews Arlington Hotel: pet-friendly rooms with city views, a garden and a two-minute walk to the stadium district. For a budget-minded trip along Interstate 30, I would pick the La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fort Worth Arlington West, with free parking and breakfast. My advice is to call the hotel and confirm pet rules before you book.

A 2-minute walk to the stadium with an infinity pool and spa
Check availabilityWhy guests love itFor a family weekend built around a game or a concert, location is the argument: the stadium district is a 2-minute walk, so there is no parking to manage with children in tow.

Pets are accepted, and the 24-hour front desk helps after a late return.

AT&T Stadium is about 2.2 km away, close enough for a game day while staying away from the crowds.

A South Arlington base with an indoor pool year-round
Check availabilityWhy guests love itAn indoor pool is the main family asset at the Hilton Garden Inn Dallas/Arlington South, useful in the Texas summer heat and on rainy days alike. The on-site restaurant and bar save a drive after a day at the stadium, and the family dog is welcome in pet-friendly rooms. AT&T Stadium is about 10 km away and Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport 29 km, so a car is needed. A 9.0 score from 360 reviews is very reassuring.

A 136-room Aloft on East Lamar Boulevard, a short drive from both stadiums and Six Flags
Check availabilityWhy guests love itThis is a compact, modern base for a ballgame or a theme-park weekend rather than a resort. Its 136 rooms date from 2019, the W XYZ bar keeps a live-music programme in the evening, and the re:fuel pantry stays open around the clock for snacks after a late game. Globe Life Field and AT&T Stadium sit within a few minutes' drive, and Six Flags Over Texas, is just as close. Families should know two things. The outdoor pool is open in summer only, so a spring-break visit means no swimming. And the hotel runs no shuttle of its own: in a city without buses or trains, a car or a rideshare does the work, unless the Arlington Trolley serves the hotel during your stay. In summer, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor water park is on the same boulevard, at 1800 East Lamar, a few blocks west.

Steps from Six Flags with a shuttle to the airport and stadium
Check availabilityWhy guests love itThis is the address I would give a family planning a Six Flags Over Texas day: the park is less than half a mile away, so a tired child can be back in the room quickly. The outdoor pool and hot tub help everyone recover afterwards. Rooms have a microwave, refrigerator and coffee facilities for easy snacks, and the daily shuttle to DFW Airport and Cowboys Stadium means one less car journey. Pets are welcome.
Caravan Court Hotel
Arlington

A retro motor-court hotel under the old Caravan Motor Hotel sign, opened in June 2026
Check availabilityWhy guests love itThis is a design-led hotel aimed more at couples and groups of fans than at young children. Rooms come with a SMEG fridge, a Nespresso machine, a 50-inch smart TV and a wireless charging pad, and the mix of 88 kings and 48 double queens means families of four can find two beds. The resort-style pool with four cabanas is the draw in summer, while the rooftop Elora Sky Club and the martini bar set the evening mood, which can mean more noise than a family motel. The garden, the terrace and the outdoor fireplace give a quieter corner, and there is an electric car charging station on site. AT&T Stadium is a walk of about 19 minutes; Six Flags Over Texas needs the car.

The outdoor pool is the evening reward for children, and pets are welcome, so the dog can travel along. Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is about 19 miles away. The hotel is south of the stadium district, so plan to drive to AT&T Stadium or Six Flags.

Free parking at the hotel helps if you arrive by car, and the in-room refrigerator keeps drinks and snacks cold between outings. Rooms are simple, with a 45-inch flat-screen TV.

Local tips
- 1Call the hotel to confirm pet rules, since size limits, fees and the number of animals per room are rarely stated in a listing.
- 2Ask where dogs may walk on the property, and whether a garden, terrace or grass area is close to your room.
- 3Choose a hotel with free parking and highway access if you drive in with a dog, so there is no long walk from a garage.
- 4Avoid leaving a dog alone in the room, and ask about the hotel's policy before you plan a day at Six Flags or a game.
- 5Look for a kitchen if you stay several nights, since it helps with feeding schedules and avoids restaurant stops.
- 6Remember that Texas summers are hot: plan dog walks early in the morning or after sunset, and keep water handy.
