These Dog Concierges Have Written a Book, Have You?

November 20, 2009 at 3:29 PM | by MsRebecca | 0 Comments

It’s that time of the week again: Cute Hotel Doggie Friday! And today we give you not one but two adorable hotel doggies. Because we’re nice like that. Both of these smilin’ fools work for Fairmont Hotels—Catie Copley (the black lab) at the Fairmont Copley Plaza in Boston, and Santol (a Bernese mountain dog cross) at the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac in Quebec City.

They have the lofty title of Canine Ambassador, and enjoy all the perks that go with it—business cards, email addresses, comfy beds in the lobby, plenty of attention from guests and staff, and of course, their own kids’ book. Catie Copley’s Great Escape tells the story of Catie and Santol each visiting the other’s hotel. It’s the second book for Catie, who is apparently so popular that she has her own merchandise in the Copley Plaza’s store.

As everyone throws themselves full throttle into Thanksgiving prep, let's pause for a moment and think of how much joy our four-legged friends give us. That's right, it's time for Cute Hotel Doggie of the Day!

Today's little surfer dude may not seem seasonally appropriate but we can all benefit from a little cubicle dreaming on a Friday. Besides, this Frenchie is just too damn cute not to share. We found him on the Facebook page for Loews Hotels, snapped hangin' four paws in this year's Loews Coronado Bay Resort annual Surf Dog competition.

When we first heard about dogs surfing we thought it was just a fad for rich hippies or a marketing gimmick, but it looks like the sport is a keeper for Loews. Their contests have raised over $15,000 for charity and attract pups from all over the U.S.

Take Your Best Friend Back to Your Room at Quail Park Lodge

In the world of dog-friendly hotels, there are the ones that let you bring your own pup, ones that want to pamper your pup with toys and fancy room service, and there are ones that have their own furry friends on hand at the concierge desk. We love all of these incarnations, but here’s yet another spin on getting your doggie fix on the road. At Utah’s Quail Park Lodge, dog-loving guests can volunteer at the nearby Best Friends Animal Society, and, once they’ve fallen in love with one of the adoptable dogs there, they can bring them back to the hotel for a sleepover date.

This “Puppy Therapy” package goes beyond getting your very own furry bed warmer for the night—spending time with your temporary charge helps socialize him for adoption. So don’t feel like you’re teasing the doggie with hotel-life luxury only to send him back to the shelter—you’re actually helping him develop the nice behavior that will speed up his transition to his forever home.

More Hotel Halloween Doggies! What more do you want on this Friday afternoon before Halloween? These awesome photos come to us from the Hotel Monaco Alexandria, which held its Howl-o-ween Costume Contest on Thursday. And just to show anyone worried about puppy labor laws that canine concierges do have a chance to clock off and get loose, here is the hotel’s Director of Pet Relations, bichon frise Charlie getting into the Halloween spirit. He’s dressed as chef Derek Simcik from the hotel’s restaurant Jackson 20—right down to the tattoos.

Then there was Scooby, decked out in Oktoberfest lederhosen, who took home the Top Dog award of the evening. (Kudos for hitting two October festive occasions in one, Scoobs!)

Cute Hotel Doggie Friday: Howl-o-ween Edition

Friday is now officially Cute Hotel Doggie Day here at HotelChatter, and in honor of Halloween, we felt it was our duty to bring you Dogs At Hotels in Halloween Costumes. It looks like quite a few properties have had Halloween parties for their four-legged guests this week, including Houston’s Hotel Derek.

Dog Days Out are a regular affair at the pet-friendly Hotel Derek, but this Wednesday was a special Howl-o-ween Spooktacular. As you can see from these photos, it wasn’t just the dogs who dressed up: owners were welcome to come in costume, too. (Which seems fair, considering how silly and perturbed some dogs look when they’re in costume.)
