Aloft Philadelphia Downtown charges $75 per pet per night, non-refundable, for up to two dogs per room at 40 lb each. Bring two dogs for three nights and the pet fees come to $450. The Renaissance Philadelphia Downtown also bills by the night: $50, non-refundable, for up to two pets at 25 lb each. That's $150 for three nights, or $300 if it counts each pet. We couldn't tell which. At Philadelphia Marriott Old City, two dogs of up to 25 lb each cost $50 for the whole stay.

Four of the 41 Philadelphia hotels we list take pets for free, and eleven don't take them at all. Most of these policies come from the hotels' own pages or their chains', read on 29 and 30 October 2026. Aloft, Four Points, Independence Park, the Sofitel and Club Quarters were read again on 13 November.

No fee

At the Kimpton Palomar, any number of pets stay free, with no size or weight limit. The Kimpton Monaco in Old City accepts pets of any size or breed, also at no charge. The Windsor Suites is the only hotel with a confirmed policy that names cats. Dogs and cats stay at no additional charge there, though not on the Skyline Level or in the 24th-floor pool area. The Four Seasons doesn't charge either, but only for dogs up to 25 lb, and only in its designated pet-friendly rooms.

Among the hotels that charge, Aloft and The Logan take dogs only, and The Ritz-Carlton names one dog and says any other pet needs the hotel's approval. The Palomar and the Monaco don't name a species in what we read, and neither do several others, so check before you bring a cat.

The Sofitel says pets are welcome and prints no fee. Ask what it charges when you book.

$50 and $75

The Sheraton Philadelphia University City Hotel charges the same $50 as Marriott Old City, once per stay, and allows one pet per room up to 80 lb. No other hotel here prints a higher weight limit.

Besides Aloft, nine hotels charge $75. At Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square it's per stay, with up to two pets per suite, and the hotel says it has no breed or weight restrictions. The Study at University City charges it per pet per stay, so two pets come to $150. The Study appreciates advance notice. The Logan charges it once, for dogs. In Rittenhouse Square, The Warwick charges it once for its dog-friendly rooms. Loews Philadelphia Hotel takes it per stay at check-in, per the hotel's own site. The Logan and the Study print no weight limit, but neither says it has none, the way Sonesta does. With a big dog, ask them first.

The other four, all Hilton-branded like the Logan, say only that the $75 is non-refundable: Home2 Suites, the DoubleTree by Hilton, Hilton Philadelphia at Penn's Landing and Homewood Suites, whose figure comes from its hotel-info page. None says whether that's per night or per stay. Per night, three nights would cost $225 instead of $75.

$100 to $250

At The Notary Hotel, $100 covers one pet per room, up to 40 lb. The Westin charges the same $100 for pets up to 50 lb and allows them in every room. Both call the fee non-refundable and charge it once per stay.

The Residence Inn Philadelphia Center City charges $150 per stay, non-refundable, with up to two pets per room. Nothing we read says whether two pets pay it once or twice. The Rittenhouse also charges $150 per stay, for one pet per person, and asks you to arrange it 48 hours ahead.

The W has the Westin's 50 lb limit but allows one pet per room, for $250, again non-refundable and once per stay. Even that beats Aloft on a long trip: one dog there passes $250 on the fourth night. At the Ritz-Carlton, $250 gets one dog up to 30 lb. A 30 lb dog fits there and not at the Four Seasons, which stops at 25 lb.

Hotels that take no pets

Eleven hotels say no: the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown, Motto by Hilton, The Inn at Penn, Holiday Inn Express Philadelphia Penn's Landing, Four Points by Sheraton, Independence Park Hotel, Morris House Hotel, Society Hill Hotel, Penn's View Hotel and the Cambria. Independence Park's answer comes from Best Western's page for the hotel, Penn's View's from its booking policies, and the Cambria's from Choice's listing, which adds that service animals are free of charge. Society Hill lists a charge of up to $1,000 if a pet is found, and says service animals are welcome.

Six hotels whose pet policy we couldn't confirm

For the Hilton Garden Inn, one version of the policy we found in October said dogs or cats to 25 lb and another said not allowed. The versions we found for the Hampton Inn and the Canopy disagreed too. On the info page for the Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District, the Pet Policy heading had nothing under it in October.

Club Quarters doesn't mention pets on its own page. The Club Quarters chain has a pet offer, but it books a Boston hotel, so it doesn't cover this one. Nothing we read from The Rooms at Fitler Club addresses pets. Call any of the six before you bring an animal.
