Minneapolis Hotels That Allow Dogs

Sniff out Minneapolis dog-friendly hotels.

1. Hewing Hotel

It’s a care that extends to every guest that walks through their doors, whether they walk on two legs or four. Pupper can snuggle up on a BarkBox Memory Foam dog bed and watch Barks and Rec reruns while you relax and enjoy the views from their Rooftop Lounge (no dogs allowed up that high; it’s too heckin’ scary). A $75 non-refundable pet fee will be applied to your stay. 

2. Hotel Emery
