Dog Friendly at the Swan

Our dog-friendly rooms

We accept all types of dogs without size, breed, or weight restrictions at our dog friendly hotel in Port Townsend, as long as they are well-mannered and non-threatening. Fido is allowed in our Ground Floor Guest Rooms and one of our Guest Cottages. A pet fee of $25/night per dog applies. We offer complimentary dog treats, a variety of dog supplies (just in case the food bowl got left at home), a comfy dog bed to use during your dog’s stay, and designated clean-up baggies. If you need help arranging a dog-sitter or dog-walker, we’ll be glad to assist. Stop by the front desk to pick up a walking map of dog-friendly areas/dog parks. Your well-behaved dog will be greeted as a welcome guest at The Swan Hotel, and be sure to check with any stores and restaurants for dog-specific rules before entering.

We’ll ask you to sign our Dog Policy form at check-in.
