Traveling to Tacoma with a pet doesn't mean compromising on comfort or style. The city offers a selection of hotels that welcome furry guests, ranging from budget-friendly chains to boutique stays with character. For example, the Best Western Plus Downtown Tacoma provides straightforward rooms and a fitness center, while the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Tacoma Downtown (also known as Hilton Garden Inn Tacoma Downtown) offers contemporary decor and is steps from the University of Washington Tacoma. On the higher end, Hotel Murano boasts a spa and wellness center, located in the museum district near the Glass Museum.
For a truly unique experience, consider the McMenamins Elks Temple, a historic hotel with a family-friendly restaurant, bar, and outdoor seating, just under a mile from the Museum of Glass. Budget-wise, you can find pet-friendly rooms starting around $120 per night, though rates vary by season and pet policies. Staying in downtown Tacoma places you within walking distance of attractions like the Tacoma Art Museum and the Greater Tacoma Convention Center, with easy access to public transportation. When booking, always confirm the pet fee and any weight restrictions, and plan for nearby parks for daily walks.
