We have a small dog (a beagle) that I would like to have with me in New York sometime, as I go frequently, instead of leaving her at the daycare (yeah, we spend too much money on the dog). I always love to stay around the Times Square area... does anybody know of hotels that allow pets? Also where would one reccomend to take the dog on her bathroom breaks in NYC. Even though I see a lot of dogs in NYC, I have no idea where people walk them! Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Pets Allowed Hotels
Well, re the hotel, I saw on here on an Australian TV show that the Hotel Pennsylvania allows pets and even has an area in the hotel where they can %26#39;go%26#39; that%26#39;s covered in straw, they described it as a deluxe hotel, but the last time I was on this forum, it was apparently not so deluxe!

I am not sure how updated this list is, but it%26#39;s a start for you:

People walk their dogs on the street, but be aware that we have laws that require pet owners to ';pick up the poop';, so be prepared to do so, or suffer the wrath of the most polite people in the world!!!!
There are 5 milliion pets in the city of NY.
The link iddev gave you lists lots of pet friendly hotels and there are plenty of other websites that do the same. But if you%26#39;re in Calgary, you should check immigration laws. I wonder if there are any issues bringing pets across the border. And are you flying or driving? Flying with a dog is not an easy thing especially in summer. Unless you can bring the dog in the cabin with you, I wouldn%26#39;t do it.
Assuming you have the travel part sorted, I%26#39;ll add the Affinia hotels allow dogs. The Affinia Manhattan would be closest to Times Square, but frankly, with a dog, I%26#39;d try to stay in a more residential area where the streets aren%26#39;t flooded with people 24/7. If I were a dog I%26#39;d freak out in Times Square. The Affinia 50 or Dumont would be good. If you can afford it, the Regency is not far from Central Park. People walk their dogs on the street but you MUST scoop the poop.
PS do NOT stay at the Hotel Pennsylvania.
The Kimpton Hotels, www.kimptonhotels.com/pet_friendly.aspx, offer pet-friendly accomodations. We%26#39;ve stayed in a number of their hotels throughout the U.S. with our two dalmatians and never had a problem.
Try The Muse or 70 Park Avenue Hotel. While I%26#39;ve never stayed at either hotel, they get excellent reviews. Good luck with the pup!
The Rihga Royal, which isn%26#39;t on the list in iddev%26#39;s post, also takes pets.
I believe Westin, W, and Sheraton have specific pet perks %26amp; pet rooms.

The only requirement to take your pet across the border is a Vet%26#39;s statement of good health and a current rabies certificate.
The biggest problem will be that a beagle, while small, is probably too large to be carried in the cabin on a flight and will have to go in the luggage area. Personally, I wouldn%26#39;t subject any animal of mine to those conditions. I%26#39;d leave the dog at the day care that she knows and stay at the Ritz Carlton (they used to have a staff dog that you can borrow and/or take out for walks).
Thanks for everything guys. And yeah, I agree with you 1BCTraveler, it would probably be better to leave her behind. I couldn%26#39;t imagine stowing her away like luggage lol. But if I ever get the guts to drive across Canada and in to New York as I%26#39;ve been saying I%26#39;ll do she can come! The driving across Canada part is not what I%26#39;d need guts for... I just couldn%26#39;t drive in NYC!
