Does Miami have any off-leash dog parks?

Use one of the fenced in areas, or romp through the larger wide-open spaces. Other off-leash dog parks in Miami include Amelia Earhart Dog Park, Perrine Wayside Dog Park, and Dog Chow Dog Park.

Any advice for how to party in Miami?

Miami doesn’t go to sleep with the sun, that’s for sure. Prepare to stay up well after midnight to get the full Miami party scene experience. Leave Sparky at the Chesterfield Hotel & Suites, a South Beach Group Hotel or Mandarin Oriental, Miami and head for Miami Beach nightclubs. After you sip on some creative concoctions at spots like the Rec Room, STORY, and Purdy Lounge, you’re sure to be wagging your tail. To spend time surrounded by fresh night air and twinkling stars, check out a rooftop bar near the Miami skyline. If you lose track of time and greet the sun, go get your pup and make a beeline for the strong coffee in Little Havana.

Whether you’re headed to Miami to get your toes in the sand or a frozen cocktail at a hip lounge, heading south is sure to put a spring in your step. Make one of our top dog-friendly hotels in Miami your new home, and you never have to trade the amenities you love to bring your pooch along.
