Pet Friendly Hotels in Charlottesville (2026)

Travelling with pets can be a challenge, but Charlottesville offers several good pet-friendly hotels that make it easy to bring your furry friends along. Whether you're looking for something centrally located for easy city exploration or you prefer something that offers a little more space (read: good dog walks), our Gurus have hand-selected a diverse range of properties. Our favourite hotels offer much beyond their dog-friendly policy, including farm-to-table dining, rooftop bars, and even in-house art galleries. So why not browse our collection to start planning your next getaway?

For city style

• Channel a glossy version of college life at playful Graduate Charlottesville, a university-themed boutique hotel. A curated and colourful fun aesthetic blends retro furniture, vintage art and antique touches. Enjoy buzzy dining, a rooftop cocktail bar, fun shared spaces and pretty rooms. For pet owners, there are dedicated floors, if you would rather not leave your four-legged friend behind.
• The Draftsman is a modern city hotel in a new-build tower with a boutique feel. Everything required for a short stay is on-site: farm-to-table dining, state-of-the-art gym and spacious luxe-style bedrooms with cosy touches. Playful public areas with artfully mismatched furniture and fun decor work well for downtime. For pet owners, two dogs are allowed per room, and there's a nightly charge.

For foodies

• The Clifton is a wonderfully romantic Manor house, sitting on 100 acres just outside Charlottesville (perfect for long walks with your four-legged friend). The rooms offer effortless elegance and modern comforts, with hardwood floors, velvet upholstery and vibrant artworks. Feast on farm-to-fork organic produce and local wines at the fine dining restaurant, a real lure!
