SOLVANG'S MOST PET-FRIENDLY HOTEL
Nestled in one of America’s most dog-friendly towns, The Marlo stands out as Solvang’s most dog‑friendly hotel. With welcoming policies, nearby pet‑friendly restaurants, and endless opportunities for treats, your pup will feel at home in our garden retreat.
Take a stroll a couple of blocks away for unlimited tail wags, and stops for belly rubs in the heart of Solvang’s shopping and restaurant district for the best of both worlds for you and your pup.
Treats? Oh Yeah!! We've Got Treats.
SAY HELLO TO OUR FURRY FRIENDS
Our four-legged guests are part of The Marlo story. During your stay, pups are invited to have their moment in front of the camera with a keepsake Polaroid, lovingly added to our Dogs of Marlo collection.
Whether they are here for courtyard lounging, Solvang strolls, or a cozy getaway with their favorite humans, each pup brings a little extra warmth to our hygge-inspired retreat. If your dog would like to be featured, just let our team know. We would be happy to make them part of the wall.

Dog-Friendly Solvang: Cafés, Walks & Stays
Some places are easier with a dog.
Solvang is one of them.
Maybe it’s the slower pace, the open spaces just beyond the village, or the way afternoons naturally drift outdoors—but here, bringing your dog doesn’t feel like an adjustment. It feels like part of the experience.
If you’re planning a Solvang getaway with your dog, this isn’t about finding places that allow them. It’s about discovering the ones that quietly welcome them in.
