Best Pet-Friendly Hotels in Dallas – Fort Worth

New to the Hilton brand, The Highland Dallas is the first hotel in Hilton's boutique Curio Collection and aims at adding sleek personality to the hotel. So far, recent guests haven't been disappointed with the swanky digs or the customer service, saying staff goes out of their way to meet their needs (including those of your four-legged friends). Pooches aren't the only ones pampered at this property, however: Treat yourself to a massage or yoga class at the Exhale Spa before spending a lazy afternoon by the infinity pool and an evening at the popular Knife restaurant. When it's time to sleep, you'll find Italian Frette linens and 32-inch flat-screen TVs in your room. And while these features – combined with a great seat near the southeast corner of Southern Methodist University's campus – surely capture guests' attention, most visitors say that it's the warm, welcoming staff that make their stays memorable. Members of the Hilton Honors loyalty program may use their existing points for perks like free room upgrades.

Shopaholics take note: This member of the expansive Westin family may be a hike from downtown Dallas and downtown Fort Worth, but its seat next to the Galleria Dallas shopping center allows for prime access to your favorite stores. The decor at The Westin Galleria Dallas is hip and modern; boasting simple yet trendy furnishings and city views. Previous guests loved the hotel's rooftop pool and splash deck, which is lined with private cabanas for those who prefer to take their refreshments in the shade. Recent guests also praised the menu at The Second Floor Regionally Inspired Kitchen for its ability to please a variety of taste buds. Plus, the hotel features The Oceanaire Seafood Room. Visitors also commend the customer service and describe the staff as extremely friendly and helpful. And because this hotel is part of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here.

The Westin Dallas Fort Worth Airport is ideal for early morning fliers and those in need of some shut-eye during a long layover. Guests love the on-site amenities – which include a rooftop pool and a fitness center – as well as a free airport shuttle and 24-hour room service. Guest rooms are fairly typical of a Westin property in terms of looks, but features like the brand's signature Heavenly Beds and dual shower heads feel luxurious to recent travelers in transit. The in-house BlueFire Grille's Southwestern cuisine is also a perk. Yet not all travelers were wowed by this hotel, citing noise from the nearby freeway and cleanliness issues as reasons to stay away. If you do decide to stay here, you can earn loyalty points (good for free nights and other perks) through the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program.
