Perched atop a rugged oceanside bluff in Northern California, just 30 minutes from San Francisco and Silicon Valley, The Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay offers a 5-star luxury resort experience. This retreat welcomes guests and their dogs to enjoy unparalleled comfort and breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. The Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay provides a range of dog-friendly amenities, ensuring that every member of the family enjoys a memorable stay. Guests can savor the coastal breeze while strolling with their dogs along the scenic coastal trails or relaxing on the hotel terrace.
The resort’s pet policy allows up to two dogs weighing 40 pounds or less in designated pet-friendly Guest House rooms. A pet fee of $250 per stay applies, plus $20 per pet per night. Upon arrival, dogs are treated to beds and bowls provided by the hotel, so you can travel light. One of the highlights for canine visitors is the resort’s dedicated in-room pet dining menu, curated with gourmet meals that are both nutritious and delicious — your dog gets to dine in true Ritz-Carlton style. A grassy relief area on the property makes bathroom breaks convenient and stress-free.
Dogs must be leashed or held in arms at all times while on the resort grounds. Pets are not permitted in the main building, lobby, club lounge, spa, fitness center, The Conservatory, Navio restaurant, Ocean Terrace, or the Ocean Lawn. However, the surrounding Half Moon Bay coastline offers incredible walking opportunities, with the California Coastal Trail passing right by the resort and miles of blufftop paths stretching in both directions.
Beyond the pet-friendly accommodations, The Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay provides an extraordinary range of amenities for human guests as well. The resort features a world-class spa, a state-of-the-art fitness center, an indoor pool, and complimentary WiFi throughout the property. Two championship golf courses — The Old Course and The Ocean Course — offer some of the most scenic links on the West Coast. Gourmet dining options range from the refined Navio restaurant to more casual fare, and the resort regularly hosts special events and seasonal programming.
For dog owners who want to combine luxury with a coastal getaway, The Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay delivers. The combination of five-star service, stunning Pacific views, thoughtful pet amenities, and easy access to the Half Moon Bay coastline makes this a top-tier dog-friendly resort destination in California.
