My Friendly Pets

As promised, I told you I would be back with more information about the Kimpton Hotel’s pet friendly services. I hope you have had a chance to check out the hotels via their website. Click here to see.

One of the unique attributes about this website and the services offered are the clever podcasts available which discuss the hotels and Kimpton’s broad varieties of amenities and services available. I listened to the podcast on the pet friendly services which you can listen to by clicking here. The podcast is extremely entertaining as it is presented from the perspective of one of the Kimpton dogs. The dog discusses the hotels and then goes on to express the beliefs and attitudes of the Kimpton Hotel organization and how they feel about the animals who are part of the lives of their guests and their employees. In fact, employees of the Kimpton Hotels are provided with pet insurance coverage for their own pets. What a wonderful benefit!!! Anyone who has had an emergency visit to the vet or even some routine pet checkups knows how costly that can be. The Kimpton Hotels located in particular areas usually adopt or sponsor local animal shelters in those areas to aid with funding or assist with other needs of the shelter.

Both of the Kimpton Hotels that are located in my area are found in New York City. I’m a mere 90 miles from the Big Apple and can be there in a hop, skip and jump by train. One of the Kimpton Hotels is located at 70 Park Avenue and the other, the Muse Hotel is located near Times Square in the heart of the theatre district. Both of course are pet friendly and welcome dogs, cats, and other pets regardless of size (oh my!)! The pampered pooch package offered at the Muse Hotel presents its guests with a beautiful room and a basket full of pet treats including delicious snacks for the pup as well as their own special food and water bowls. Don’t forget about the luxury bed you heard about in the podcast.

While the Kimpton Hotels are warm and welcoming to any type of dog, please keep in mind that there are certain guidelines for all guests and some specific to the canines. Up to date veterinary records are a requirement. Dogs must be on a leash in common areas. You cannot leave your dog unattended in the room, and why would you? The reason you brought your dog was to spend quality time together!!! There are some other contingencies that guests with pups must agree to when checking in. They are common sense and common courtesy stipulations and you wouldn’t expect anything less of an upscale establishment such as the Muse!!!

In the near future, I hope to provide you with an on-site review of one of the Kimpton Hotels in New York City, as the managment has been gracious enough to offer me a tour of their facility and a dog’s eye view of all that they have to offer to both their two-legged and four-legged guests!!! So stay tuned!!!
