Hotel Bel-Air is introducing the Precious Paws Program, a five-star amenity program designed to cater to man's best friend. The Dorchester Collection hotel gives pups the royal treatment the moment a pet steps it's paw on-property. Pet perks include: a "chic neckerchief" given upon arrival to fancy up the collar, a private photo shoot to make your pet feel like a cover girl or boy, and a frame for your furry playmate centerfold as a check-out souvenir.

Rooms are doggy-ready too. They feature dog beds and read-to-go dog bowls. Doggy turn-down service includes peanut butter treats personally made by the in-house pastry chef. (The recipe is available at check-out.) And if by chance your room attendant is afraid of dogs, or your dog is afraid of room attendants, the rooms are equipped with personalized door tags that alert staff when your dog is in the room.

“We have implemented this new program to make the hotel even more inviting for not just our two-legged friends, but the four-legged ones as well,” said General Manager Tim Lee, who we are pretty sure must have gotten a kick out of saying that.

The PP Program doesn't discriminate. It's for dogs of all sizes. The hotel says the program is complimentary, but there is a pet fee of $200. That $200 goes to a deep cleaning of the guest room upon departure, "to ensure the next guest is unaffected if allergic to pets." If only that rule applied to two-legged guest rooms. There's nothing like finding a hair that doesn't belong to you in your guest bed!
