Be Our Guest—and Bring Your Best Friend, Too
Travel is better with your furry companion. That’s why we’re thrilled to welcome guests and their pets with our PAWS (Pets Are Welcome At Sonesta) program at Sonesta Hotels nationwide.
Make Traveling with Pets Simple
When you and your pet check in, we’ll greet you with a PAWS Welcome Letter and complimentary dog treats. Plus, we’ll have your room ready with a water dish, a feeding bowl, and a waterproof mat for use during your stay. Pamper your pet with the addition of a cozy pet bed at The Royal Sonesta, Sonesta Hotels & Resorts, Sonesta Select, and Sonesta Essential hotels.
PAWS pet food/treats, pet toys, pet waste bags, and other pet supplies are available for purchase at our pet marketplace. In addition, there are designated pet walking and potty areas at select hotels where space allows.

Registered guests with service animals do not follow the same rules and regulations, and the Hotel may not charge those guests a pet fee. An emotional support animal, however, is not considered a service animal and is not protected under the American Disability Act as an animal serving guests with disabilities. Emotional support animals therefore fall under the hotel’s PAWS pet policy and all its rules and regulations.
