Kimpton Hotels - A place for you and for your dog!!!
As we get closer to the vacation season, gas prices or not, people are going to want to get away. There is nothing like a trip where you stay at a luxury hotel with your family and I mean your whole family….Fido included. We all need to relax and to feel pampered. Kimpton Hotels seek to do just that. But in addition to taking care of our every need, they welcome the dogs in our lives with open paws(oh I mean open arms)!!!
Kimpton Hotels was founded in 1981 and it currently operates 38 hotels worldwide that are “known for its collection of stylish independent lifestyle hotels that are coupled with fine chef-driven restaurants”. Kimpton prides itself on what they call their “signature elements” which include, care, comfort, style, flavor and fun!! Kimpton Hotels embrace the concept of “pet friendly”. As with the other first class amenities offered at Kimpton Hotels, their pet friendly accomodations are more than pet friendly, they are pet adoring.
Years ago when hotels or motels said that they were “pet friendly”, it usually meant that the hotel was low quality and really didn’t care about the guests at their establishment. The people at the Kimpton Hotels understand the family concept of the “family pet” and work hard to insure that dogs that are guests in their hotel are treated just as well as the family members of those dogs.
The concept of being “pet friendly” was so important to the management of Kimpton Hotels that in their hotels, they utilize the services of canine helpers as ambassadors to the many guests that come to visit. These pet ambassadors welcome new guests, greet returning guests and boost the morale of employees and management alike. These “Directors of Pet Relations” set the tone for pet acceptance in luxury hotels. Guest dogs can have their pictures taken with the ambassador dogs. The ambassador dogs also participate in many of the hotel activities, adding the fun and spontaneity to things that only a loveable pooch can do.
