Vacation season is fast approaching, and for those clients who want to take Fido along with them on the family trip, many hotels are pampering guest’s best friend as much as the traveler. Now, Fido can live the glam life and explore the world, too, while the family travels.
Belmond has launched a Pet Set package available at properties around the world, and many other hotels are offering special services for Fido including special treats, massages, dog walks, and personalized amenities.
At Belmond Le Manoir au Quat’Saisons, in Oxford, England, Fido not only has plenty of land to explore and stretch his legs, but there are also Le Chameau boots fit for the owners to tag along with them. And then, when Fido reties back to his room, an all-day doggy room service awaits with his favorite treats. Rates start at $730 per night. For more information, visit belmond.com.
