Like Mary and Joseph, you and Fido might find yourselves without a bed for the night this holiday. Reserving a room at a pet-friendly hotel will give your merry mutt much cozier accommodations than the couch at your sister-in-law’s place.

BringFido is here to help you find the perfect spot to spend the festive season with your pooch. Choose the dates of your stay, use filters to select pet fee and policy preferences and book a hotel that’s close enough to make it for family dinner but far enough away for a good night’s rest. Remember that when you book with BringFido, you enjoy the benefit of our Pet Friendly Guarantee, and you’ll never pay a booking fee. When you're ready to make a reservation, save time and book online or call us at 877-411-3436 to speak to one of our friendly agents. Either way, our service is free.

With all the excitement and noise, kids and pets may not mix well, especially if your pup isn’t used to so much commotion. Rather than running from little humans, give your dog the gift of personal space by reserving a pet-friendly room at her favorite hotel where she’s treated with the grace and dignity she deserves.

With no limits on the number or size of pet guests and no pet fee, every furry, feathery or scaly friend can enjoy a sophisticated stay at dozens of Kimpton Hotels around the country. Plush loaner pet beds, food, water bowls and mats are available at all locations. Some Kimpton Hotels even employ a Director of Pet Relations to greet canine customers with a sniff and a wag at check-in, leting them know they’re safe.

“We’re just not dog people!” is a phrase that sends shudders down Fido’s spine. When your cousin asks if you can put your best friend into a kennel for the holidays, it’s hard not to book her a night there instead. All jokes aside, even if they do love and appreciate your pup, your family's home might not be equipped to care for him. A big-city apartment may not be near any grassy relief areas, or may not permit visiting pets.

Fido knows when he’s not wanted, so why not book a place he always will be? In the concrete jungle of New York, for instance, the pet-friendly Gild Hall A Thompson Hotels welcomes dogs to stay for free and is located within walking distance of Chinatown, Battery Park and more.

Your pooch looks on in wonderment at your plate piled high with food every year, but it’s all too rich for him. You can’t risk him making a mess on your aunt’s new rug, but he does deserve a delicious meal just like everybody else. Treat your terrier to a holiday feast of local ground beef, grilled chicken breast or salmon at The Little Nell in Aspen during your family vacation to the slopes. Or, if you’re visiting somewhere else, these pet-friendly hotels also cater specifically to your pup’s needs and culinary dreams. Fido deserves to be satisfyingly stuffed this holiday season!

That inflatable snowman is up again. It’ll be waving at you during your whole stay. Wouldn’t you and your pooch rather see something new this year? A pet-friendly hotel offers a change of scenery for the holidays.

Haven’t you always dreamed of spending Christmas in the tropics? The Islander Resort in Islamorada, FL invites dogs to stay in tropical-view rooms. The resort spans 24 lush acres, has a private dog park and welcomes leashed pups to join you on its private beach, allowing Fido to trade snow for sand this year.

Anybody who’s seen “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” knows that pets and decorations don’t mix. In fact, the results might be even more disastrous than a trashed house. Chocolate treats, low-hanging glass ornaments and wreaths made from holly can all be dangerous to a dog’s health. Instead, check in at a beautifully decorated hotel where your leashed buddy can enjoy the festive trimmings from a distance.

From gingerbread decorating to decking the halls with gorgeous decorations, The Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge, MA will get you and your little helper into the Christmas spirit in no time. Four-legged guests receive treats and bowls at check-in and will love walking down the snow-covered streets to the grounds of the nearby Norman Rockwell Museum.

What’s the best way to break it to your loved ones that you’re staying at a hotel? Your eyes meet your pup’s, and it suddenly becomes clear. The excuse has been there all along! Simply explain how he might bark at night or shed on the furniture and that a pet-friendly hotel down the street can probably fit you in. Then sneak off to your room and snuggle in with your canine conspirator for a little peace and quiet.

Wherever you travel and however you plan to spend the holidays, start your search for the “pawfect” pet-friendly hotel on BringFido. Then fall asleep to visions of sugar plums while Fido dreams of Santa Paws.
