Pet-Friendly Hotels in Detroit for Dog Owners
Downtown Detroit is compact enough to explore on foot with a dog, and its pet-friendly hotels sit close to the action. The Godfrey Detroit, Curio Collection By Hilton and the Detroit Foundation Hotel share the best score here, 8.9, the first with city views and spa and wellness facilities, the second in a historic building in central downtown. MGM Grand Detroit adds a casino, a full-service spa and an indoor infinity-edge pool, while Hotel Indigo Detroit Downtown is a short walk from the Fox Theatre. For longer stays, Kasa Cadillac Square Detroit offers apartments with full kitchens.
Detroit is a city of grand early 20th-century buildings, many now restored as hotels, with stadiums, theaters and Greektown packed into a walkable downtown. The Detroit River runs along its southern edge, with Canada on the far bank, and the riverfront has become a popular place to walk.
Restored landmarks, casino resort or apartments
Traveling with a dog in Detroit works best from a downtown base: Campus Martius Park, Cadillac Square and the Detroit RiverWalk give you green space and riverside paths for daily walks, and the main sights are close together. Every hotel on this page accepts pets, so the choice depends on style, from a casino resort to a historic inn or an apartment with a kitchen.
The Godfrey Detroit, Curio Collection By Hilton and the Detroit Foundation Hotel lead this selection with 8.9 each. The Godfrey, with 608 Booking reviews, offers air-conditioned rooms with city views, an American restaurant, a bar, a fitness room, a 24-hour front desk and spa and wellness facilities. The Detroit Foundation Hotel, set in a historic building in central downtown, pairs rooms with city views and streaming services with an American restaurant, a bar and a fitness center. I would pick the Foundation for its character and central address, and the Godfrey when spa facilities matter on a trip with your dog.
MGM Grand Detroit is the full resort option on this page, a five-star hotel that also welcomes pets. It combines an on-site casino with a full-service spa, an indoor infinity-edge pool, several dining options and live entertainment, and rooms come with large flat-screen TVs and spa-inspired showers. Its 8.2 score comes from 490 reviews. It suits travelers who want everything under one roof, though a casino resort is a busy setting for a nervous dog. Hotel Indigo Detroit Downtown by IHG, a short walk from both MGM Grand and the Fox Theatre, is the calmer alternative nearby, with a gym and a business center.
For character, two smaller hotels stand out. The Siren Hotel, an Ash Hotel, is a four-star property in central Detroit with a bar, a 24-hour front desk and spa and wellness facilities, rated 8.4 from 487 reviews. The Inn on Ferry Street is a historic inn that blends old-world elegance with contemporary comforts and serves complimentary coffee and pastries every morning, with a score of 8.1. Both are pet-friendly and feel more personal than a large chain hotel. I would choose The Inn on Ferry Street for a quieter stay with your dog, and The Siren for evenings out downtown.
For longer stays or travelers who prefer to cook, Kasa Cadillac Square Detroit offers apartment-style units in a historic building in central downtown, each with a fully equipped kitchen, a private bathroom and city views. Its 7.8 score is the lowest on this page, a point to weigh against the space and the kitchen. Hilton Garden Inn Detroit Downtown, close to the Music Hall Center and the Fillmore Detroit, is a practical middle ground: rooms with a microwave and refrigerator, an American breakfast and a fitness center, rated 8.1. Both are pet-friendly and keep the downtown parks within reach for dog walks.
A traveler's perspectiveWith a dog, I would book the Detroit Foundation Hotel: it shares the top score on this page, 8.9, and its downtown address keeps Campus Martius Park and the Detroit RiverWalk within reach for morning walks. For a longer stay, I recommend Kasa Cadillac Square Detroit, whose apartments with full kitchens sit by Cadillac Square in a historic building.
