The Saguaro Palm Springs is one of the most recognizable hotels in the Coachella Valley — a burst of color against the desert landscape that feels fun and playful from the moment you pull up. More importantly for dog owners, the hotel welcomes dogs and makes it easy to bring your pup along on a Palm Springs getaway. With 244 rooms, multiple restaurants, bars, and event spaces, The Saguaro has the feel of a full-service resort.

The pool area is the social hub of the hotel, surrounded by lounge chairs, cabanas, and a lively atmosphere that picks up on weekends. Dogs are welcome to hang out with you in and around the property, which gives your trip a relaxed, inclusive vibe that many pet-friendly hotels aim for but few pull off this well. The on-site dining options mean you don’t have to go far for a good meal. Several of the hotel’s restaurants and bars have outdoor seating where you and your dog can enjoy a meal together in the warm desert air. The staff is accustomed to canine guests and generally happy to bring out a water bowl without being asked.

The Saguaro’s location on East Palm Canyon Drive puts you close to downtown Palm Springs, where you’ll find dog-friendly patios, boutique shops, and the kind of walkable streets that make an afternoon stroll with your pup genuinely enjoyable. For more active outings, the Indian Canyons hiking trails and several dog parks are a short drive away. If your dog needs some exercise and space to run, Desert Regional Dog Park is accessible and gives you a change of scenery from the hotel grounds.

The guest rooms are modern, comfortable, and spacious enough to share with a dog, with the bold, colorful design extending throughout. It’s a lively, social hotel that genuinely knows how to make dog owners feel at home without making a fuss about it. Grab a drink poolside, let your dog lounge on the lounger next to you, and settle in.
