Pet-Friendly Hotels in San Francisco

Traveling to San Francisco with a Pet

San Francisco is walkable but hilly, so the right neighborhood matters. Embarcadero, Fisherman's Wharf, Union Square and the Marina each offer different access to parks and attractions. Many days are cool enough for comfortable extended walks.

Always verify the pet policy directly with the hotel before you book. Fees, pet limits, accepted animal types and rules about leaving pets unattended can change by property and room type.

Where to Stay

Embarcadero for waterfront walking and downtown access
Marina for parks, bay views and flatter streets
Union Square for a central hotel base
