    Tradewinds Carmel is happy to be a pet-friendly option in Carmel-by-the-Sea – one of the most dog-friendly towns around!

    To accommodate our guests that have allergies, we offer pet-free rooms in almost all room categories. If you need to secure a room that is specifically NOT pet friendly, please contact the hotel directly.

    If you ARE traveling with your pet(s), leave a note about your pet(s) type, quantity, and size in the Booking Notes section during the online check-out process, or call to make your reservation so we can reserve the perfect, pet-friendly room for your visit. We charge a nightly fee of $50 per dog with a 2-pet maximum per room. We welcome service animals in compliance with federal and state laws.

    Please be aware that dogs and cats are the only pets allowed, they must never be left in a guest room alone, and are welcome only on our porches and exterior common areas of the hotel, and only while on leash. While we love our pets, not all of our guests feel the same way. For this reason, dogs and cats are never permitted in interior public spaces.

    As a condition of reserving a room at our hotel, you agree to pay a $250.00 fee per night if any pets are found in rooms not designated as pet-friendly, or if your animal causes stains or damage to a pet-friendly guest room.
