We all deserve a little luxury when we travel — our pets included. And because some hotels are more accommodating to our four-legged friends than others, we asked members of the TPG Lounge to share the various ways their pets have been pampered while traveling.
Steak is Served
When Andrew Larson stayed at W Boston Hotel and Residences, his adorable pup not only had a nice walk with the hotel staff, but was treated to a room service meal of top-notch beef.
Doggie Bag
During her stay at Aloft El Segundo, Suzzane Gratton was beyond pleased with the swag her furry companion received: a gift bag with everything a dog could ask for.
Room With A View
While staying at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, Karen Brenes‘ loveable pup was treated to her own bed and one killer view.
Canine Concierge
You don’t have to have your own pet to enjoy one while staying at The Craddock Terry Hotel in Lynchburg, as Brandon Governor found out when this four-legged staff member greeted him upon arrival.
Warm Welcome
When Emily Sinatra Coats arrived at The Westin Monache Resort in Mammoth, she was happy to be served complimentary Champagne while her dog, Ziggy, got some treats of his own — without the bubbles, of course.
