Dog-Friendly Hotels in Colorado Springs: Fees & Rules

Quick Picks by Trip Type

For a walkable downtown base, Kinship Landing on South Nevada Avenue offers pet-friendly Junior Queen and Junior Queen plus bunk rooms for dogs, and Hyatt Place Downtown sits a few blocks from Acacia Park with a two-dog limit. Both put restaurants and the Tejon Street corridor within a short stroll, which matters on a trip where you will walk the dog several times a day.

For a resort stay with amenities, The Broadmoor and Cheyenne Mountain Resort both publish dog policies, including a dedicated in-room pet menu at the Broadmoor. For northern Colorado Springs and the Air Force Academy area, Flying Horse Resort & Club is the most detailed policy of the group, with a written rule sheet covering fees, dog limits and where dogs cannot go.

Budget travelers should look at the I-25 South and airport clusters, where Home2 Suites and the Radisson sit close to Quail Lake Park and its walking paths. Extended-stay rooms with kitchens are common in this corridor, which makes feeding and storing dog food simpler than in a standard hotel room.

How Colorado Springs Is Laid Out for Dog Travelers

The city spreads north to south along Interstate 25, with downtown Colorado Springs at the center and Garden of the Gods west of downtown along the Garden of the Gods corridor. A car makes the difference here: hotels downtown are walkable for evening strolls, but the big open spaces and trailheads sit several miles west and north.

North of the city, the Air Force Academy area and the Tri-Lakes communities cluster along Academy Boulevard and I-25, where Flying Horse and several chain hotels sit near neighborhood walking trails. South of downtown, the airport corridor is convenient for early flights and puts you close to Quail Lake Park.

Downtown Colorado Springs Hotels That Take Dogs

Kinship Landing charges a nightly pet fee for its dog-friendly Junior Queen and Junior Queen plus bunk rooms and caps guests at two dogs under 80 pounds, so a large breed needs a different address. The hotel sits at 415 South Nevada Avenue, a short walk from the downtown core.

Hyatt Place Downtown at 201 East Kiowa welcomes up to two dogs per room and charges a $75 pet fee, with Acacia Park nearby for quick walks. The Antlers, A Wyndham Hotel at 4 South Cascade Avenue, accepts dogs up to 75 pounds and charges $75 per pet, and it publishes grassy relief areas on the property for arrivals and late-night breaks.

The Mining Exchange, A Wyndham Grand Hotel at 8 South Nevada Avenue publishes no size limit on dogs and provides a grassy relief area, which makes it the downtown pick for a big dog. All four downtown properties put you within walking distance of coffee shops and the Tejon corridor, and the dog friendly restaurants colorado springs guide covers which patios accept dogs.

Luxury and Resort Stays: The Broadmoor and Cheyenne Mountain

The Broadmoor at 1 Lake Avenue charges $100 per night with a maximum of two pets per room and supplies pet bedding, treats, trail guides and a dedicated in-room pet menu. The trade-off is cost: this is the most expensive pet line item among the published downtown-area hotels, and the resort's grounds are formal enough that leash manners matter.

Cheyenne Mountain Resort at 3225 Broadmoor Valley Road welcomes dogs under 80 pounds, provides dedicated dog walking areas and points guests to nearby pet services through its Bed and Biscuit program. Its lakeside setting south of downtown gives you room for longer on-property walks, though the weight cap rules out many large-breed travelers.

Flying Horse Resort & Club: The Full Written Policy

Flying Horse Resort & Club in northern Colorado Springs publishes a detailed dog guideline sheet: dogs must be leashed at all times on property, all dogs must be registered at the front desk on check-in, and a maximum of two dogs is allowed per guestroom or villa. A nightly fee applies per dog, and dogs cannot go on the golf course, greens or golf carts.

The same guidelines exclude dogs from restaurants, tennis and pickleball courts, the spa, the athletic club, the Kids' Cabin and the pool deck, in line with state and El Paso County rules; only ADA-defined service animals are permitted in the athletic club and pool areas. Housekeeping has to be arranged in advance so the dog is with you or out of the room during service, and unattended dogs that disturb neighbors draw an hourly charge.

The resort sits near Fox Run Regional Park, which has a five-acre off-leash area, and the Black Forest Section 16 open space, where dogs stay leashed. The resort lists its address as Weiskopf Point, though the street number differs between its own page and the visitor bureau listing, so confirm the exact address when you book rather than relying on a navigation pin.

North Colorado Springs and the Air Force Academy Area

Best Western Plus Peak Vista Inn & Suites on Commerce Center Drive accepts dogs up to 80 pounds and provides waste bags and treats, and it sits about four miles from Garden of the Gods. Fairfield Inn & Suites North is the closest pet-friendly hotel to the Air Force Academy and welcomes both cats and dogs, with grassy relief areas on site.

Embassy Suites Colorado Springs on Commerce Center Drive also publishes pet amenities with grassy relief areas and complimentary waste bags, and it is a short drive from the trailheads at Garden of the Gods. This cluster works well if your itinerary centers on the northern attractions and you want easy highway access.

Budget and Extended-Stay Options

The Radisson Hotel Colorado Springs near the airport welcomes dogs under 50 pounds with a per-pet charge and a two-pet cap, and it points guests to the fields at Sky View Sports Complex for exercise. That weight limit is the tightest in this group, so travelers with medium or large dogs should look elsewhere in the airport corridor.

SCP Hotel in southeast Colorado Springs welcomes both dogs and cats and keeps water bowls at the entrance, while MCM Elegante Hotel & Suites offers kitchen-equipped rooms, grassy relief areas and complimentary waste baggies. My Place Hotel near the Western Museum of Mining and Industry welcomes dogs and cats with a grassy relief area and on-site laundry.

Home2 Suites by Hilton I-25 South welcomes dogs and cats, provides grassy relief areas and sits steps from Quail Lake Park and its walking trails. The Hilton pet-friendly hotel directory lists a long roster of Colorado Springs properties across the DoubleTree, Hampton, Home2 Suites, Homewood Suites and Embassy Suites brands, which is the faster way to check which brand hotels accept pets before you compare individual policies.

Cats, Small Dogs and Big Dogs: Reading the Weight Caps

The published caps split Colorado Springs hotels into three groups: the Radisson turns away dogs over 50 pounds, The Antlers uses a 75-pound limit, and Cheyenne Mountain Resort and Best Western Plus Peak Vista both cap at 80 pounds, while Kinship Landing caps at 80 pounds but only for its dog-friendly rooms. The Mining Exchange publishes no size limit, which makes it the outlier for large-breed travelers downtown.

Cat owners have fewer choices, but SCP Hotel, My Place Hotel, Fairfield Inn & Suites North and Home2 Suites I-25 South all publish that they accept cats as well as dogs. If you travel with two dogs, confirm the per-room cap at booking, since several downtown properties allow two while others publish only a per-pet fee.

Pet-Rule Fine Print: Unattended Dogs, Housekeeping and Service Animals

Flying Horse is unusually explicit about unattended dogs: if a dog left in the room disturbs a neighboring guest, an hourly disruption charge applies, and deep cleaning or repairs after damage go on your account. It also requires a dog door hanger and a resort dog tag on the collar, so pack a spare collar clip in case yours is already in use.

Service animals sit outside the pet policies: Flying Horse notes that ADA-defined service dogs are exempt from its nightly dog fee, while emotional support, therapy and companion animals are not treated as service animals in restricted areas such as the athletic club and pool deck. Keep that distinction in mind when comparing fees, and register any dog with the front desk as the property asks.

What to Pack and How to Handle Heat and Pavement

Colorado Springs sits at high altitude with intense midday sun, and summer pavement around downtown and the Garden of the Gods corridor can get hot enough to hurt paws on an afternoon walk. Plan longer outings for early morning, carry water for both of you, and test pavement with the back of your hand before a long stretch.

Pack a leash no longer than six feet for trail use, waste bags for every walk, a collapsible bowl, a dog towel for dusty trailheads and a copy of vaccination records in case a hotel or park asks. Flying Horse's guide notes that Garden of the Gods visitors should keep pets on a six-foot leash, so a short fixed leash covers both hotel grounds and park trails.

Booking Checklist Before You Reserve a Pet Room

Ask three things when you book: the nightly pet fee per dog, the weight cap and the maximum number of dogs per room. Then ask whether the fee covers the whole stay or each night, since the visitor bureau's listings mix per-night and per-pet figures across properties.

Confirm where the dog relieves itself, whether housekeeping needs the dog out of the room, and whether any areas of the property are off limits. If you plan to leave the dog while you eat, check the unattended-dog rule first, then look at the dog friendly breweries colorado springs list for patios where the dog can join you instead.

Finally, map the nearest green space to your shortlist, whether that is Acacia Park downtown or Quail Lake Park on the south side, and check whether the hotel publishes an on-site relief area. For longer outings, the dog parks in colorado springs roundup covers fenced options including Bear Creek Dog Park in Colorado Springs.

Comparison Table: Hotel, Neighborhood, Fee, Weight Limit, Max Dogs

Kinship Landing, downtown, publishes a nightly pet charge, an 80-pound cap and a two-dog limit; Hyatt Place Downtown, also downtown, publishes a pet fee and a two-dog limit. The Antlers, downtown, charges per pet with a 75-pound cap, and the Mining Exchange, downtown, publishes no size limit and a grassy relief area.

The Broadmoor, near Lake Avenue, charges a nightly pet fee with a two-pet maximum; Cheyenne Mountain Resort, south of downtown, caps dogs at 80 pounds. Flying Horse, in the north, charges per dog per night with a two-dog cap, and the Radisson near the airport caps at 50 pounds with a per-pet fee and a two-pet limit. Treat every figure as the policy published at the time of writing and check it with the hotel when you book.

Plan Your Colorado Springs Dog Trip

Match the hotel to your itinerary first: downtown for walkable evenings and patios, the Broadmoor Valley for resort grounds and longer on-property walks, and the north or airport corridors for highway access and lower rates. Then check the published weight cap against your dog's actual weight, because an 80-pound limit is the most common cutoff in the city.

Once the room is booked, build the rest of the trip around green space, patios and trails, and keep a short leash and water in the car for high-altitude afternoons. For a comparable look at how another mountain city handles pet policies, the Dog-Friendly Hotels in Flagstaff guide follows the same fee and weight-cap approach, just as this dog friendly hotels albuquerque resource does for New Mexico.
