Explore Pet Friendly Activities in NYC

At The Peninsula New York, we believe every guest—paws included—deserves to feel right at home. Located at 700 Fifth Avenue, just steps from Central Park, the hotel provides the perfect base for exploring New York City with your four-legged companion.

The hotel welcomes one dog or cat weighing up to 65 pounds per room for a $150 fee per stay. Upon arrival, pets are welcomed with thoughtful amenities including a plush pet bed and food and water bowls to ensure a comfortable stay. For canine guests, dog-walking services can be arranged through a Peninsula Page for an additional fee with advance reservation, and a special dog menu is available upon request.

To ensure the comfort and safety of all guests, pets are not permitted in the hotel's restaurants, banquet rooms, The Peninsula Spa, or Fitness Center. When traveling throughout the hotel, pets should be carried by hand or transported in a carrier. Guests are kindly asked not to leave pets unattended in guestrooms for more than two hours and to ensure they are secured in a carrier or crate when alone.
