The Pet-Friendly Advantage: Room to Roam in the City
If you’ve ever traveled with a dog to a major city, you know the struggle. You book a “pet-friendly” hotel, only to discover the room is so small you can barely fit your suitcase—let alone a dog crate.
At Sonesta Hotel Baltimore Inner Harbor, we don’t just tolerate pets—we welcome them. Our secret weapon? Space. Learn more about our pet-friendly approach here: PAWS (Pets Are Welcome At Sonesta).
Why Size Matters for Dog Owners
In downtown Baltimore, many historic hotels have very small standard rooms. That’s tough when you have a 50-pound Golden Retriever. Our rooms are generously sized, giving you the square footage you need to actually relax.
Room to stretch
Plenty of floor space for a dog bed and water bowls without blocking the bathroom door.
Room to breathe
When you and your pet aren’t on top of each other, everyone sleeps better.
The PAWS Policy: Simple & Fair
We keep our pet rules simple so you can enjoy your trip. We participate in the PAWS (Pets Are Welcome At Sonesta) program.
- The Fee: $50 per stay (non-refundable). Many nearby hotels charge $100–$150.
- The Allowance: Up to two pets per room.
- The Limit: No breed restrictions, with a weight limit of 50 lbs per pet.
Quick tip: Bring your dog’s favorite blanket or a small item that smells like home. It helps them settle in faster—especially after a long drive.
The “Morning Walk” Advantage
The biggest anxiety for urban pet owners is: “Where do I take them for a walk?” You don’t need to worry about busy highways here. We’re just a short walk from the Inner Harbor Promenade.
The Route
Exit the hotel, head south, and in about 6 minutes you’re at the water’s edge.
The Promenade
A wide, brick-paved path that hugs the harbor—perfect for a long sniff-walk away from car traffic.
Rash Field Park
Want a destination? Walk about 0.7 miles along the water to Rash Field, which features green space and activity areas.
Perfect for Extended Stays
Whether you’re here for a week-long convention or a month-long medical visit, our in-room essentials make long-term stays easier.
Mini-fridge in every room
Store your own food (and your dog’s fresh food) without hassle.
Valet laundry
Keep your wardrobe fresh without hunting for a laundromat.
Real desk space
Workstations that help you stay productive while your dog naps at your feet.
