We love our pets, and we know you do too. So it pains us to go on family vacation without that part of the family. We want to be able to take our little pals, ensure their their welfare, and include them in on the fun.
There are many resorts that do not allow Ms. Kitty, or doggos 1 and 2 but today, we have chosen some resorts that embrace your little buddy as much as they embrace their human guests. Here are our Top 5 picks for hotels and resort around the world that would love to have you, and your furry pal.
Up first, Miami is a hot spot for warm ocean breezes, sunny luxury, and of course animal lovers. The Mandarin Oriental Hotel puts you right into the Miami lifestyle with impeccable rooms, awesome service, spa, and outstanding views for you. You four legged pals will enjoy being pampered with amenities like plush pet beds, walking services, and in room pet dining menus. To go that extra mile while you take in Miami, schedule Fido a work out with a professional dog trainer, get him groomed, or have a play date with the pet butler there. He is also allowed on the beach and is going to love it as much as you do.
The Onyx Hotel in Boston also loves your pooch. With your visit, you will enjoy bringing your pet with no additional charges, regardless of weight or size. The Onyx offers dog walking, dog sitting, and an incredible in-room menu. Your doggy can have a sirloin, and your kitty can enjoy gourmet cat food if that suits her. What makes it an awesome stay for you is that it is close to many Boston attractions, that the awesome staff can help you visit. When you are in your luxe room, you can order up an in-room spa treatment, or simply enjoy the 4 star amenities that are comfortable and “wicked smaht.”
Viceroy L’Ermitage is a Beverly Hills, all-suite hotel that not only accepts your pet, they embrace them. Enjoy exemplary service, Italian linens, TV in your marble bathroom, large dressing room, lighting menu, and more unexpected amenities. This hotel gets super high marks for their extensive in room pet dining menu, and also a Canine Club, including a custom dog bowl in the room, courtesy dog bags, and a doggy interest map of the area. The pet menu is good enough for royalty with options like tuna tartar, foie gras, caviar, poached eggs, or Sparky’s name brand on request. Two paws up for the Viceroy L’Ermitage!
Taking your act out of the States? Well, you can take Sparky with you to Cabo San Lucas, and stay at the Las Ventanas al Paraiso. It is a 5 Diamond resort with local decor, artwork, limestone floors, fireplace, and wonderfully spacious suites. You are well taken care of with poolside service, personal butler, live nightly entertainment, exquisite spa and fitness center. Your pup will also be cared for very well with available doggy massages, and long walks with qualified resort staff. You can also get a pet cabana so that you and Precious can relax beachside together.
For my pet loving friends in the Northwest U.S., Portland’s Hotel Monaco takes a unique approach in welcoming your pet. You pets can get psychic help to solve behavioral issues or to make your friendship closer. The resident pet psychic is freely available to guests during Hotel Monaco’s complimentary wine tour. Your pets get to mingle with other sophisticated dogs here while you enjoy spacious guest rooms, free Wi-Fi, complimentary bikes, and chic decor at what is dubbed as the Most Beautiful Hotel in Oregon. The secret is that it is made even more beautiful by your four-legged pal’s company.
This concludes our Top 5 Pet Friendly Accommodations. There are many other choices but these echo as much luxury for you, as they do for your pet pals.
