In Palm Springs, Riverside County, the historic Casa Cody Inn stands as the oldest operating hotel in the city, offering a romantic retreat with real history behind it. Founded in the 1920s by Hollywood pioneer Harriet Cody — cousin to Buffalo Bill — Casa Cody is a designated Class I Historic Site. This bed and breakfast-style inn has the kind of character that comes from nearly a century of continuous operation, with adobe walls, lush gardens, and a quiet courtyard atmosphere that feels far removed from the busier resort properties in town.

Travelers with dogs will appreciate Casa Cody’s welcoming pet policy. The inn’s garden grounds provide pleasant walking areas for leashed dogs, and the overall scale of the property — intimate rather than sprawling — makes it easy to manage with a pet. You won’t feel like you’re navigating a massive complex; instead, you get a more personal experience where staff recognize guests. Rooms and suites vary in layout, with some featuring private patios, fireplaces, and kitchenettes that give you flexibility depending on how long you’re staying.

The pool area is a peaceful spot to settle in during the afternoon, and the property’s mature trees and flowering plants create a shaded, comfortable environment even in warmer months. Early mornings are particularly nice for walking your dog around the grounds before the heat builds.

Casa Cody’s location in the Tennis Club neighborhood puts you within a short walk of downtown Palm Springs, where dog-friendly restaurant patios, shops, and galleries line Palm Canyon Drive. The Palm Springs Art Museum and the Thursday evening VillageFest street fair are also nearby. For off-leash play, the Palm Springs Dog Park is a quick drive away, and the Indian Canyons offer leashed hiking trails with dramatic canyon scenery that makes for a worthwhile day trip. The property itself is quiet enough that you’ll actually want to spend time there between outings, which matters when you’re traveling with a dog.
