Minneapolis welcomes travelers with pets through a solid selection of downtown hotels that allow dogs and cats. Most properties in the city center connect to the climate-controlled skyway system, making winter walks easier for both you and your dog. Pet policies vary: expect fees between $50 and $150 per stay, weight limits around 75 pounds, and a maximum of two pets per room. The Warehouse District and areas near Target Field offer the highest concentration of pet-friendly options, with easy access to parks like Loring Park and the Mississippi Riverfront.
Top-rated hotels such as Hilton Minneapolis (connected to the convention center, indoor pool) and Hyatt Regency Minneapolis (on-site restaurant, spacious rooms) are reliable choices. For a boutique experience, The Royal Sonesta Minneapolis Downtown provides farm-to-table dining and skyway links. Those seeking luxury can book Hotel Ivy (spa, hot tub) or Four Seasons Hotel Minneapolis (two pools, nightclub). Budget-conscious travelers find good value at Embassy Suites By Hilton (complimentary breakfast, indoor pool) and Hewing Hotel (rooftop pool, rustic-chic design). Always confirm current pet policies directly before booking.
