Condé Nast Traveler posted a list of unusual hotel amenities from the 2012 Gold List of top hotels. One of the Top Ten, which they claim is the Gold Standard of the Gold List, The Peninsula Beverly Hills offers dog amenities fit for a king!  Here’s what CNT says:

“At The Peninsula Beverly Hills, canine guests are treated to personalized towels, plush doggy beds, walks around the neighborhood by white-uniformed staff, and a special “people-food-for-dogs” menu, with eats like a Bow Wow Beef Burger and Spot’s New York Strip. Owners can keep the doggy bag for themselves!”

Pet friendly hotels are plentiful. Once relegated to more moderate priced accommodations, you now have options across all price ranges. Dog sitting? No problem! Is Fido craving a walk in a stylish dog park in San Francisco? It can be arranged! Does Fifi want a new “do” in LA? Pick from a plethora of high-end doggie spas and styling centers!

I know my 2 four-legged kids, Winnie and Willie, would love to live in the “lap” of luxury. I’m just not sure I’d spend the bucks to take my dogs with me. As it is, they stay at Woofs Play & Stay, which offers lonesome owners like me the opportunity to observe them via video camera and I like my vacations that way. They have theirs and I have mine and rarely, if ever, shall the twain meet.

What’s your opinion on traveling with your pet?
