When our families go on vacation, we pets prefer to come along. If we can’t, second choice is to stay at home, surrounded by adoring fans who will do our bidding. But I’ve just discovered an option for pets that’s just as tempting as staying at home—maybe even better!
Wag Hotels are luxury hotels for dogs and cats, located in Sacramento and San Francisco, Calif. (with one coming soon in Sunnyvale, Calif.). Small, medium and large rooms ($48, $55 and $60 per night, respectively) include comfy beds, two playgroups a day, room service and classical music. Suites are also available. A luxury suite, my favorite, includes everything a regular room has, plus a plasma TV, Web cam (so my peeps can see how I’m doing) and premium bed for only $85 a night.
Add-on services cover everything from swim time in the hotel’s indoor pool (and what Labrador would say no to that?) to a roof-top walk and playtime with a buddy to Zen massage and a blueberry facial.
The cats have it good too, in a separate Cattery that offers two-story condos with a view of a tropical fish tank. Scratch pads, beds and private litter box are also included ($30 per night).
I’m glad people are finally recognizing that pets like luxury just as much as humans do. So give us a treat the next time you have to leave us at home.
