Can’t bear the thought of leaving your pooch at home? When you stay at one of Opal Collection’s dog-friendly hotels and resorts, 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.
Explore our full collection of 29 dog-friendly hotels and resorts below, including locations in the New York Adirondacks; the Maine and New Hampshire coast; Nashville, Tennessee; 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).”
5:30 p.m.
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.”
6:30 p.m.
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.”
7:30 p.m.
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.”
