So who doesn’t like to travel? The answer is no one, especially our favorite furry friends. Dogs USA and Have Dog, Will Travel give us the “low down” on swanky hotels with special pet services.
Fair and Just: Lush and luxurious, The Fairmont Copley Plaza in Boston offers dogs a cushy bed, plush toys, treats, and a water bowl in the room. But it gets better: The Hotel has its own dog, Catie Copley(featured), a friendly black Lab who resides in the lobby to greet guests.
W ASAP: The uber-hip W hotels, owned by Starwood Hotels welcomes dogs with a kit that includes a bowl, ID tags, and information about fun doggie activities in the area. www.whotels.com
How Loew Can You Go? Loews Hotels has a “Loews Loves Pets” program that includes all the basics – bed, bowls, toys – but goes one step further into luxury amenities, such as specialized meals brought up from room service, including grilled lamb, chicken, liver or salmon. The concierge can arrange pet walking and sitting services, and each hotel has a pet closet where you’ll find extra leashes, collars and even pet videos. It’s a dog’s life, but someone’s got to live it! www.loewshotels.com
Putting on the Ritz: The Ritz Carlton hotels accept pets, and a few of them go the extra mile to pamper pooches in style. The Ritz in Sarasota, Florida, employs people trained in canine massage, so your puppy can have a spa day with you. Some of the Ritz hotels have a “Pampered Pet Program”, that includes dog biscuits, dog tags and grooming. www.ritzcarlton.com
