Honestly, I can\u2019t imagine taking our office dog Jimmy on a long flight\u2026 In this article other examples of HosPETality, like: the Chief Happiness Officer at the Fairmont Tokyo, enjoying a martini, beer or ice cream with your dog, off-leash play areas, a \u2018Dog Stick Library\u2019 and more. ^Marjolein<\/p>\n

This article follows up on our earlier HosPETality piece from 2022<\/a>, with more examples of pet-friendly initiatives.<\/em><\/p>\n

HosPETality at Fairmont Hotels & Resorts and off-leash areas<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Recently, we wrote about the way dogs are welcomed at Fairmont Hotels & Resorts<\/a> \u2013 sometimes even by a Chief Happiness Officer or Director of Pet Relations! Several of their hotels have resident dogs who are available at set times for cuddles or walks with guests. Naturally, water bowls, a dog blanket, and treats are always ready for visiting dogs. Also handy: maps with local walking routes, I can\u2019t tell you how often I\u2019ve been searching for a nice, safe trail near a hotel!<\/p>\n

Another great touch: fenced-off areas where dogs can run free. We came across an area like this at the Alpin Resort Sacher<\/a> in Seefeld \u2013 after a leashed walk, the dogs could have a good run around in a field behind the hotel. These kinds of off-leash areas can now even be spotted occasionally along highways in France and Germany. Got the space? Why not! Perhaps even in collaboration with a dog food brand.<\/p>\n

Spoiling your guests\u2019 four-legged friends<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you think treats like a puppuccino are only popular outside Europe, think again. We follow the account Op stap met Luuk<\/a> (\u201cOut and about with Luuk\u201d), where they go for dog ice cream at ijsk\u00e2ld<\/em><\/a>, with locations in Lemmer, Urk, Sneek, and Emmeloord in the north of the Netherlands. Apparently, ijsk\u00e2ld offers two flavours especially for dogs: green bean, and banana-peanut butter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve also noticed more and more restaurants in France allowing dogs inside the dining room, as well as on the terrace. We were reminded of this when we came across a reel from Worldwide Winston<\/a> \u2013 about the luxury travels of a corgi who even flies in the cabin<\/a>! According to them, Ocean House in Rhode Island<\/a> is \u201cthe best dog-friendly hotel<\/a>.\u201d This Relais & Ch\u00e2teaux property welcomes dogs with warm broth upon arrival while their humans enjoy a glass of bubbly. They also have a special dog menu.<\/p>\n

Personal HosPETality experiences with Jimmy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A few months ago, we stayed at Le Richebourg H\u00f4tel, Restaurant & Spa<\/a> in Vosne-Roman\u00e9e, where Jimmy was welcomed with her name on a food bowl, some treats, and the option to order from a dog menu. Dogs were welcome in the dining room, with tables seating dogs spaced apart to avoid distractions.<\/p>\n

At Maison Heler, part of the Curio Collection by Hilton<\/a>, we found food bowls in our room featuring our national mascot dachshund Takki \u2013 plus a plush toy! I\u2019m still trying to find the same bowls for our office.<\/p>\n

Enjoying a drink with your dog?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

On Instagram, we came across a reel<\/a> from Emily Jane Johnston, who loved enjoying a martini with her dog \u2013 shaken, not stirred! The bartender at Maison Assouline<\/a> even made a special puptini<\/a> for her golden retriever.<\/p>\n

Less elaborate, but also fun for terraces: there\u2019s even beer for dogs<\/a>. Why not put it on the menu? There are plenty of places where owners enjoy having a beer together with their dogs. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Doggie Restaurant Weekend in July in New York<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Officially called CESAR Restaurant Weekend<\/a>, it took place on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 July in New York, but on other dates also in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Nashville<\/a>. Dog food brand CESAR invites dog owners to dine out together at participating restaurants \u2013 in New York, for example, at City Vineyard by City Winery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We wrote about this weekend in our trends we spotted week 34 2024<\/a>: it remains a great idea for restaurants to team up with a dog food brand for a special event \u2013 especially if you\u2019re located near an off-leash area! And for restaurants by the water: a Dog Stick Library<\/a> is also always highly appreciated by guests and their dogs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
