Opal Paws Program
Dog Friendly Resorts & Hotels
New England, New York & Florida
Can’t bear the thought of leaving your pooch at home? When you vacation at a participating Opal property, you don’t have to. In addition to welcoming well-mannered canine companions, the collection’s Opal Paws program goes even further to make sure they feel just as pampered as you do by outfitting their stay with a custom dog mat and bowl, as well as a goodie bag of dental stick treats, biscuits, and more. If looking to venture off-property, many resorts also offer a concierge-vetted list of destination dog-friendly activities and attractions to ensure your furry friend can always follow along.
Find our full list of the 26 participating properties below, including locations in the New York Adirondacks, the Maine and New Hampshire Coast, and southern Florida and the Keys.

Arrival & Check-In
“When we arrive, the nice lady behind the front desk greets me with bowls, bones, and even a comfy mat. While, at first, I assume I’m just a special pooch, I’m told that all well-mannered dogs receive this kind of treatment at all Opal resorts and hotels.”
Relaxing in Our Room
“While my dad gets settled in our Marina Suite, I cozy up on my mat and get busy with my bones. Dogs are also welcome in the main hotel, but I like these townhouse-style accommodations, perfect for families (my mom and human sibling will be joining us tomorrow).”
Strolling the Grounds
“Next, we explore the historic hotel’s sprawling grounds, from the gardens to the marina, but my favorite part is sitting with my dad on the grand lawn.”
Dining Out
“There’s even an outdoor dog-friendly dining area at the on-site restaurant, Latitudes! Dad orders dinner while I people watch patrons heading inside to the seasonal waterfront dining destination.”
A Balcony Evening
“I think the thing I already love most about our Marina Suite are the balcony views and salty ocean sniffs. And I’m planning to spend the rest of the evening watching the boats bob in Little Harbor.”
Opal Unpacked
The West Street Hotel has a beloved mascot, an English lab by the name of Finn! His best trick? Wooing and befriending every guest. Here are some of Finn’s favorite things, from treats to toys and activities he woofs very much.

Please Note Our Dog Policy:
Opal Collection hotels and resorts welcome well-mannered dogs. Guests bringing dogs must have them leashed at all times when outside of the room and will be charged a non-refundable fee of $100 per night, per dog; maximum of two dogs per room. Room type and location restrictions may apply, including our pool, restaurants, and beach per city ordinance. Guests will be responsible for any property damage inadvertently caused by their dogs. Housekeeping service during your stay should be arranged either when you and your dog are not in the room, or if you are, the dog must be leashed or crated.
Service dogs are welcome at the hotel and are not subject to the policies and restrictions described above. Under the ADA, a service dog is defined as a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability. The task(s) performed by the dog must be directly related to the person’s disability.
Please note emotional support and anxiety relief dogs do not qualify under the ADA guidelines of a service dog and are subject to our policy above. Please be aware that it may be a violation of local or state law to misrepresent a dog as a service dog.
