1. Hilton Garden Inn Augusta
Less than 2 miles from Augusta National, the Hilton Garden Inn is a great option if you’ll be a patron at the Masters, but also don’t want to board your pets!
In addition to being dog and cat friendly, this hotel offers an indoor pool, business center, and connecting rooms. If you’re too tired from the tournament to make dinner reservations, there’s a restaurant on site too!
Make reservations on their website.
(FYI. To bring a taste of the Masters home with you, purchase a copy of the Junior League of Augusta’s Tea-Time at the Masters cookbook, available on Amazon.)
2. Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton – Washington Road
Hampton Inn & Suites, owned by Hilton, has many of the same amenities and policies as the Hilton Garden Inn. These two are also approximately the same distance from the National!
While the pet fees are the same, the Hampton offers free breakfast, an outdoor pool, and a higher Trip Advisor rating. Finding lodging for the tournament can be a challenge, though, so don’t be surprised if this place books up quickly!
