No. 1 most pet-friendly hotel: TripAdvisor gave the top honors to the Affinia Dumont, which is part of the small, New York-based Affinia boutique hotel chain. Through Affinia's "Jet Set Pets" program, your dog will receive organic treats, a city-specific chew toy, and a signature canvas water bowl designed specifically for travel—all of which you can take home. While in the hotel, your dog can sleep on a plush pet bed and even book a session with a groomer or psychic. Expect nightly rates that start at around $200, excluding the $25 pet surcharge.

Kimpton chain with two hotels in Top 10: The San Francisco-based boutique hotel chain Kimpton deserves the "best in show" award for having two hotels that made the Top 10. The hotels are the Hotel Monaco in Portland, Ore., where rates start at around $130 a night, and Palomar Washington D.C., where rates start at around $180 a night. One bonus: Kimpton hotels don't charge an extra pet fee. Another: Kimpton hotels are also prepared to accept cats and other types of pets.

Cheapest hotel on the list: The Ocean Park Resort in Myrtle Beach, S.C., may not dole out fancy treats or pet beds, but if you're looking for a good rate at a hotel near the beach, then you'll be happy. Rates start at about $60 a night, excluding the $15 pet fee.
