Hyatt Hotels Pet Policy 2026
Hyatt’s pet rules vary widely by brand and property, so it’s important to compare fees, weight limits, and dog restrictions before booking.
Hyatt Hotels Pet Policy Overview
Hyatt does not appear to publish one chain-wide pet policy that applies to every brand and hotel. Instead, pet rules are typically set at the property level, with many U.S. hotels allowing dogs only and using similar fee and weight-limit structures. Always confirm the exact policy on your specific hotel’s Hyatt policy page before booking.
Across Hyatt’s portfolio, the most common pattern is a dog-friendly policy with a 50-pound individual limit and a 75-pound combined limit for two dogs. However, there are meaningful exceptions by brand and hotel: some Hyatt House and Hyatt Centric properties follow the common 75/100-dollar structure, some Grand Hyatt and Hyatt Regency hotels add deep-cleaning fees for longer stays, and certain Thompson or international properties use very different rules. Public-area access is usually limited, and dogs are commonly prohibited from restaurants, pools, fitness centers, and meeting spaces.

Tips for Staying at Hyatt Hotels with Your Dog
Before booking, open the exact Hyatt hotel’s policy page rather than assuming the same rules apply across the chain. Hyatt’s pet policies are often property-specific, even within the same brand. Check whether the hotel accepts dogs only or both dogs and cats, confirm the maximum number of dogs allowed, and look closely at the weight rules because many properties use a 50-pound individual limit and 75-pound combined limit for two dogs. If you are staying at a Hyatt Regency, ask whether advance notice is required, since some locations require notice at least three days before arrival and may charge an extra fee if you do not provide it. At check-in, expect to sign a pet waiver or acknowledgment form at some hotels. During your stay, keep your dog leashed in public areas, do not bring your dog into restaurants, pools, fitness centers, or meeting spaces unless the hotel specifically permits it, and coordinate housekeeping because many Hyatt hotels will not service the room while a dog is inside unattended. If your stay is longer than a week, budget for extra cleaning fees, which are common at Hyatt House, Hyatt Regency, Grand Hyatt, and Hyatt Centric properties.
