Unusual:“Pet Friendly” hotels in the United States

It's because the founder of the Kimpton hotel group used to bring his Chianti dog to the office that his hotels have developed a real welcoming policy for pets... and whatever the animal!

Dogs, cats, but also occasionally penguins, kangaroos, iguanas, lemurs, bears and even pigs:all these "customers" who have paraded through Kimpton hotels since their creation in 1981 have been entitled to real preferential treatment thanks to the program "pet friendly". For example ? Specific menus, baskets, toys and even fun activities to share with their owner such as meeting Santa Claus during the holidays... In some hotels, dogs are even appointed "directors of the pet relations program". Their mission? Greet customers, guard hallways and rooms, and even test out local restaurants, parks, and pet shops!

Don't have a pet? No problem ! Thanks to the "Goldfish" program, you can request a fish in your room. Of course, the hotel staff will take care of feeding it and cleaning its aquarium. Don't push the envelope too far, Maurice...
