Sunday Read › Hotels Are Ready to Pamper Your Pup
by Julie Weed for The New York Times
I’ve become the type of person who treats their dog better than they treat themselves at this point. But as much as I want to spend every waking moment with my springer spaniel, Rosie, I also have zero desire to take her on vacation. Mainly because I don’t want to turn into a meme when she does something stupid on the plane. After traveling with her a handful of times before having kids, well, we soon realized the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze.
This week’s Sunday read is for those who do enjoy traveling with their pets. Or people who love throwing away money. Or both.
Here’s an excerpt:
Hotels have indoor dogs covered, too. With 24 hours’ notice, the Pan Pacific will provide a linen floor mat embroidered with the pet’s name by an in-house team of tailors, and the pet can take it home. And meals created by a dog nutritionist for the hotel include organic eggs, nitrate-free bacon and lamb sausages, “thinly sliced, cooked ‘sous-vide’ then pan-fried” (18 to 28 British pounds, or $23 to $35).
The Plaza Hotel in New York City offers a white Plaza dog bathrobe as part of its Pampered Pup Package. The robes come in five sizes, or for an extra $100 to $175, a custom-size robe can be ordered 30 days in advance. The package also includes a dog bed, dog macarons and Evian water. Costs depend on the room type and date of stay.
