The InterContinental Miami Hotel has successfully defended its crown as the highest-ranking dog-friendly hotel on earth against the latest wave of freshly certified hotels, some of which are considered the world's best hotels. They hold a clear lead over every other hotel we have certified so far because this hotel is home to the 'IHG Dog Friendly Godmother' Gina Genna. Her dog-friendly policies and practices rule the dog-friendly hotel world, and her hotel easily outranks all the other InterContinental Hotels & Resorts we have certified, a deeply impressive and hard-earned accomplishment. Gina also throws the best dog-friendly parties anyone has ever been to. Well done that team, we at Ranked By Roch are very proud of you.
