Hilton Hotels & Resorts Pet Policy Overview

Hilton’s official pet-friendly page says more than 5,000 hotels across the U.S. and Canada welcome pets, with fees that vary by hotel. In practice, Hilton brand policies are not fully uniform: some brands commonly allow both dogs and cats, while some Canopy properties list dogs only, and weight limits can differ by property.

Pet Fee Usually $75 for 1–4 nights and $125 for 5+ nights at many U.S. Hilton brands; some properties charge more or use per-night pricing

Weight Limit Varies by property; examples found range from 45 lbs to 75 lbs, with some Home2 properties allowing up to 150 lbs

Number of Pets Allowed Typically 2 pets maximum per room

Deposit Required Usually a non-refundable pet fee rather than a refundable deposit

Breed Restrictions No chainwide breed restriction listed on Hilton’s pet-friendly hub; property-specific rules may apply

Pet Types Accepted Often dogs and cats; some Canopy properties list dogs only

Where Policy Applies Hilton’s pet-friendly page covers over 5,000 hotels in the U.S. and Canada

For dog owners, Hilton can be a strong option, but you should still check the exact hotel page before booking. Hilton’s official pet-friendly hub gives the broad chain overview, while individual hotel pages show the binding details for fee amount, accepted pet types, and any weight cap.

Tips for Staying at Hilton Hotels & Resorts with Your Dog

Start on Hilton’s official pet-friendly page, then click through to the exact hotel you want because Hilton’s pet rules are set at the property level. Before booking, confirm the pet fee, whether the hotel accepts dogs only or both dogs and cats, and the maximum combined weight allowed. If your dog is large, pay extra attention to weight caps because they vary widely across Hilton brands and even between hotels in the same brand. At check-in, ask whether pet-friendly rooms are limited and whether there are designated relief areas on-site. For longer stays, Homewood Suites and Home2 Suites can be especially practical because their suite layouts give you more space and, in many cases, kitchen access for storing your dog’s food. If you are choosing Canopy, verify the pet type policy carefully, since sampled Canopy pages may list dogs only. Finally, keep screenshots or a confirmation email showing the pet terms you booked under, since fees and restrictions can differ from one Hilton property to another.
