Why leave your best friend behind when they can enjoy a 5-star stay too?

Your dog has seen you in your pajamas for three years straight—don't you think they deserve a change of scenery? Why leave your best friend behind when they can enjoy a 5-star stay too? If you’re tired of scrolling through Instagram seeing people taking their golden retrievers to Lake Como while yours is stuck at a kennel, this is for you. We’re breaking down the logistics of domestic road trips and international flights so your cat or dog can finally upgrade from the backyard to the bougie life they were clearly born for! Where would be your ideal 4 paws up vacation destination?

Italy gave dogs the green light to board regular flights.

Italy’s civil aviation authority approved new rules that let medium and even large dogs travel in the airplane cabin with their people.

It’s a huge change. For years, most bigger dogs had to ride in the cargo hold. Now, when an airline opts in and safety rules are met, they can stay in the cabin.

There are guardrails. Dogs must be in an approved carrier that can be secured to the seat or placed without blocking aisles or exits. Airlines can cap the number of pets on each flight and set their own extra conditions. Seats can sell out fast.

First flights with large dogs in the cabin are already rolling out in Italy. More airlines are expected to follow as they update procedures and cabins.

Why this matters is simple. Cabin travel cuts heat and cold risks, keeps families together, and lowers stress for animals and owners. It’s kinder and more transparent than sending a pet below deck.

If you plan to fly, check your airline’s policy, book early, and make sure your carrier and paperwork match the rules. Practice calm crate time before you go. A little prep goes a long way.

For a lot of dogs, “no more cargo hold” can finally be true.

Traveling with Pets on Our Tours? We’ve Got You Covered!

For those bringing pets along on our upcoming adventures, rest assured—we understand the requirements for crossing the borders and will guide you through the documentation you’ll need. We’ve helped hundreds of guests navigate this over the years, and we’ll make sure you’re prepared every step of the way.

We also have day trips planned throughout the tour. Since pets can’t always join us on those outings, we’ve built a trusted list of reliable local dog sitters.

Your pets are part of the journey too, and we’re here to help make it smooth and stress‑free for everyone.

Flying with your dog from Toronto could soon get a lot easier 🐶✈️

Pet-focused airline Vicuna Air is planning to add Toronto to its routes, offering flights designed specifically for dogs and their owners.

The service includes different travel options, even a “Furs Class” where pets can fly in the cabin with you instead of cargo.

Flights aren’t cheap (some luxury routes can cost thousands), but the goal is to make pet travel safer and less stressful for pets and their owners.

Would you pay for a flight like this for your dog? 👇

Why Kimpton Hotels Are the Best Hotels for Traveling with Pets (2026 Guide)

Traveling with your pet shouldn’t feel like a compromise—it should feel like an upgrade. And when it comes to truly pet-focused hospitality, Kimpton Hotels consistently set the gold standard.

If you’ve ever struggled to find a hotel that genuinely welcomes your dog (not just tolerates them), this guide will show you why Kimpton is widely considered the #1 hotel brand for pet-friendly travel in the U.S..

🐕 1. No Pet Fees (Yes, Really)

Let’s start with what most travelers care about first: cost.

Unlike many hotels that charge:

$50–$150 per stay
Or nightly pet fees

👉 Kimpton Hotels charge ZERO pet fees.

No deposits. No hidden costs. No size-based upcharges.

This alone can save travelers hundreds of dollars—especially on longer stays.

🐾 2. No Breed or Size Restrictions

Most hotels say “pet-friendly,” but then limit:

Weight (usually 25–50 lbs)
Breed restrictions
Number of pets

Kimpton does the opposite.

👉 They welcome:

Large dogs 🐕
Multiple pets
Even unconventional pets (yes—cats, birds, and more)

This is a huge differentiator, especially for travelers with larger breeds who are often turned away elsewhere.

🛏 3. Thoughtful In-Room Pet Amenities

At Kimpton, your pet isn’t an afterthought—they’re part of the experience.

Expect:

Plush pet beds
Food & water bowls
Complimentary treats
Cleanup supplies

Some locations even provide:

Door hangers (“Pet in Room”) for privacy
Personalized touches depending on the property

👉 This eliminates the need to overpack and instantly makes your pet feel at home.

🐶 4. “Pet Concierge” Services

Here’s where Kimpton moves into luxury-level pet travel.

Many properties offer access to:

Dog walking services
Pet sitting
Grooming referrals
Local vet recommendations

Staff are trained to provide hyper-local, pet-friendly insights, including:

Nearby parks
Dog-friendly restaurants
Walking routes

👉 This is the difference between traveling with your pet and traveling comfortably with your pet.

🍷 5. Social, Pet-Inclusive Atmosphere

Kimpton hotels are known for their signature evening wine hour—and yes, your dog is invited.

You’ll often see:

Dogs lounging in the lobby
Staff greeting pets by name
A relaxed, welcoming vibe

This creates a community feel that’s rare in traditional hotels.

🌆 6. Prime Locations in Dog-Friendly Cities

Kimpton properties are strategically located in:

Walkable downtown areas
Near parks and green spaces
Close to dog-friendly restaurants and attractions

Popular pet-friendly destinations include:

Chicago
San Diego
New York City
Miami
Denver

👉 This makes exploring with your pet easy and stress-free.

🧠 7. They “Get” Pet Travelers

Here’s the real reason Kimpton stands out:

Most hotels ask:

“Can we allow pets?”

Kimpton asks:

“How do we make pets part of the guest experience?”

That mindset shift shows up everywhere—from policies to service to overall atmosphere.

💼 Why This Matters for Travelers (and Why It Converts)

For pet owners, travel decisions are often based on one question:

👉 “Will my dog be comfortable here?”

Kimpton removes that uncertainty entirely.

Instead of worrying about:

Restrictions
Extra fees
Judgment or inconvenience

Guests can focus on:

Relaxing
Exploring
Enjoying the trip together

🐾 Final Verdict: Are Kimpton Hotels Worth It?

Absolutely.

If you’re traveling with a pet and want:

Zero fees
True flexibility
Thoughtful amenities
A welcoming environment

👉 Kimpton Hotels are one of the best choices available—period.

✨ Pro Tip (From a Travel Expert)

If you’re booking a Kimpton stay:

Ask for:

A room near an exit (easier walks)
Nearby pet-friendly dining recommendations
Any seasonal pet perks or events

Small details like these can elevate the entire experience.
