Seven Pet-friendly Hotels With the Best Perks
When hotels started accommodating furry guests into their doors, it created a big surge of pet-friendly hotels that brought immense happiness to pet owners worldwide. For the past several years, the pet friendliness factor has evolved from merely allowing access to four-legged creatures.
Today, your beloved pooch and kitty can experience the same luxuries afforded to their leisure-seeking owners. Here are some of the best perks from seven pet-friendly hotels who fully understand the essence of pet pampering.
Dog massage
Las Ventanas al Paraiso, Los Cabos
Traveling can take its toll on your body that’s why a massage can be the most soothing treat to have. Las Ventanas al Paraiso in Los Cabos extends the same courtesy with a massage for your pet, after the dogs hit the beach or pool while riding a portable cabana.
Gucci feeding bowls
Rome Cavalieri, Waldorf-Astoria, Rome
At Rome Cavalieri, Waldorf-Astoria in Rome, the four-course meal for pets is served on Gucci feeding bowls placed on golden trays for a touch of haute couture dining. Dogs are also treated to clay masks and revitalizing massages, which are perfect after a long flight.

Swarovski crystals and dog training
Mandarin Oriental, Miami
Aside from receiving treats, bottled water and a golden collar tag with the Mandarin Oriental logo, dogs are given a bathrobe decorated with Swarovski crystals. Your dog can also take part in boot camp under the guidance of a certified dog trainer who teaches proper dog behavior.
Burberry raincoats
The Ritz-Carlton New York
Its privileged location on Central Park is matched by the range of amenities at The Ritz-Carlton New York. The extensive features of the courtesy package for dogs include 22-karat gold plated ID tags and beds made from wrought iron. And just in case you need to go outdoors on a rainy day, the hotel provides Burberry raincoats to keep you and your dog dry.
Recording session
Loews Hotels, Nashville
Your dog could be the next country superstar to take the Grand Ole Opry by storm. At Loews Hotel’s Nashville property, dogs will get a session with a voice coach before cutting their own CD in a recording studio. This perk comes along with luxurious beds, gourmet room service and other pet-pampering amenities. On the other hand, surfing lessons for dogs are offered in the chain’s Santa Monica property.
Pet-icure
Kimpton Hotels, Denver and New York
Downtime with your pup means sitting side by side enjoying massages and pedicure! Being welcomed by special concierge named Tulo, a cocker spaniel, can mean nothing else but pet-friendly policies at Kimpton Hotels in New York and Denver. Pet-sitting, dog walking, cat scratch posts and kitty cuisine are some of the services to expect for your pets.
Private beach
Inn By the Sea, Maine
Inn By the Sea on Cape Elizabeth in Maine brings out a full range of pet-centric services. Turndown biscuits, maps & guides to dog-friendly shops and activities are some of the amenities your dog receives when you stay at the inn. When the New England weather gets cooler at the end of summer, the hotel’s swimming pool is opened only to the dogs for two weeks.
Traveling with your pets is now more enjoyable than ever, with the kind of attention and treatment that they get. Animals do appreciate these surprise perks when they go with you on your vacation. The only concern, however, is to try telling your dog or cat not to tag along on every trip you make!
