Sometimes, vacation isn’t complete without our furry companions, even when planning a trip to Universal Orlando. That’s right, you can take your four-legged family member with you on vacation, and Universal has several dog (and cat!)-friendly resorts! Each hotel allows guests to bring up to two dogs (per room), and the one-time pet fee is $100 per stay. Pets are required to have up-to-date vaccinations.
Here are Universal Orlando’s pet-friendly hotels:
- Hard Rock Hotel (only Garden View rooms)
- Loews Portofino Bay Hotel (only Garden View and Bay View rooms)
- Loews Royal Pacific Resort (only Standard rooms)
- Loews Sapphire Falls Resort (only Standard rooms)
Each of the four pet-friendly hotels at Universal is part of the Loews Loves Pets program. At check-in, pets receive treats, bowls, and placemats (so cute, I’m dying!). And get this…if you’d prefer not to travel with ALL your pet stuff, the resorts provide pet beds, litter boxes, scratching posts, pet toys, and more!
Other pet perks include (per their website):
- “Pet-in-Room” signs for your guest room door so our teams know who’s in residence
- Gourmet room service menus for cats and dogs, developed by our hotels’ Executive Chefs
- Creature comforts like specialized bedding, leashes, collars, litter boxes and litter, litter scoopers, pet placemats, and water bowls.
- Dog-walking route maps, doggie pick-up bags, and connections to the best pet-walking and pet-sitting services in town
- Recommendations for nearby parks and local pet-friendly cafes and restaurants
Here’s a brief look at the Loews Loves Pets program (filmed at a Loews hotel in Minnesota):
