The Donald Likes Your Dog...For a Per-Stay Cleaning Fee, Of Course
Where: United States

We've gotta admit: When we think Trump, pets aren't one of the first things that come to mind. (Gold-plated animal statues, maybe.) So we were pleasantly surprised to learn that Trump Hotels are pet friendly. As long as your pet has an allowance Donald wouldn't scoff at, of course.
Hilton may only charge a $50 pet fee but to bring Fido to a Trump will cost you a Trumpian $250-per stay cleaning fee.

Hilton Throws Animal Owners a Bone by Cutting Pet Fees to $50
Pet owners, get ready to start planning more trips with Fido. Hilton's making it cheaper for you to stay in its hotels by slashing its brand-wide pet fee from $75 to $50.
It's a pretty good per-stay rate considering what other hotels charge. Checking in with your four-legged friend at Andaz 5th Avenue or Andaz Wall Street will incur a $100 fee.

Andaz Wall Street Rolls Out The Doggy Welcome Mat

There's a lot to love about Andaz hotels, from Free WiFi and snacks to the relaxed service in beautiful spaces. Now that Andaz Wall Street has a new pet program, our crush just got bigger.
The best part of the program: there are no weight restrictions. The bummer? Bringing your pet incurs a $100 one-time non-refundable fee. We suppose if you're bringing your fur-baby to Wall Street, this is but a drop in the ocean, but pet fees in general make us growl. (Does it really cost $100 for the extra cleaning?)

Hard Rock Chicago Wants Your Pet To Party Like a Rottweiler While You're Gone

Just like dogs and cats, hotel pet policies and packages come in a variety of breeds. It can be hard to stand out from the pack. (Ha. OK, enough with the doggy puns.) But the Hard Rock Hotel Chicago's pet package caught our eye, not because of its rock-dog name—the Party Like a Rottweiler Pet Package—and not because of the usual poop bags, toy, and dog bowl amenities either. Nope, it's the pet cam that has us intrigued.
If you're going to leave your dog in your room when you go out, you may borrow the hotel's pet cam free of charge, you see—and access the video feed from wherever you go, on your laptop, iPhone or other handheld device.

The Crescent San Francisco Opens The Burritt Room Lounge and Bar Tonight

After having soft-opened last fall, The Crescent San Francisco tells us they are now officially open from top to bottom and to celebrate the accomplishment, the hotel is opening their second floor bar, The Burritt Room.
Starting tonight, The Burritt Room will offer a nightly bar menu from 5pm until midnight Sunday-Thursday with extended hours until 2am on Saturdays and Sundays. Bartender Kevin Diedrich will be mixing up cocktails with "fresh and seasonal" local ingredients and putting his own spin on classic drinks.
There's also an adjacent space which can be rented out for private parties and live music events, which the hotel says will be invite-only. Perhaps a nod to the Rose Bar Sessions at GPH?.

The Eventi Celebrates Its Grand Opening, Wants You to Adopt a Doggie
Even though New York City's newest Kimpton Hotel, the Eventi, has already been open and accepting guests since mid-May, there's got to be a ribbon-cutting eventually. C'mon, you can't forget a ribbon-cutting!
So earlier this week, the Eventi officially celebrated its grand opening with just that, except that it was a floral garland snipped on the hotel's Chelsea rooftop, accompanied by performances from the kids at the local Korean Traditional Performing Arts Association and an appearance from Bebe Neuwirth, who stars in the current Addams Family Broadway musical. They even set up a special, one-day-only flower market on the street in honor of the district's history.

How Do You Know if a Dog is Staying On Your Hotel Floor?
Well, when you're staying at at W Hotel, all you have to do is look at the Do Not Disturb signs hanging from the doorknobs. That's because the W puts out special DND signs for guests who are staying with pets as part of their PAW program--Pets are Welcome. It's their own "dog tag" if you will. It reads:
Why that sounds like an animal! (Actually it is, please be careful.) WOOF
This is one that we snapped at the W Hollywood the other month. While there may be some issues with hotel guests getting into the pool area, we're pretty sure dogs aren't allowed poolside either.

The Crosby Street Hotel Loves Dogs, No?

Last year when we checked into the Crosby Street Hotel we were charmed by the abundance of dog art. The imposing painting in the Drawing Room, the framed collages on the lobby walls, and the paper mâché doggies posed near that big head sculpture in the front window. (Sidenote: since "mâché" means chewed-up paper, it seems like the perfect medium for creating dogs, who know all about this method.) On our return visit last week, we were thrilled to find even more doggies that we hadn't encountered the first time round.
Now, there are framed photo collages of local dogs in the elevators. And when we heard that the second elevator had yet more doggie pictures, we sent ours up empty just to wait for the other one. The dogs' local status seemed to be confirmed by our elevator-mate exclaiming, "There's Bob!" when she spied one of her friend's dogs in the frame.
Because we're dog nuts, and because we miss our Friday dose of Cute Hotel Doggies, we put together this lil' gallery of all the dog-related pieces at Crosby Street. Most of it's accessible to non-guests as well, so next time you pop into the Crosby Bar for an $18 cocktail, don't forget to stroll around and take a peek.

There's a Porcupine in a Penthouse on Park Avenue!
It's true! If you've been watching the early morning TV shows that broadcast from New York, you may have noticed that some of the zoologists and animal care takers of the San Diego Zoo have been making the rounds to chat up their new Polar Plunge exhibit, which opens in March and gives their resident polar bears a whole fresh environment.
But no, they didn't bring any polar bear with them to New York, even if the temperatures here are about right for them. Instead they brought a few more portable critters, specifically two endangered tortoises (one a spider tortoise!) and prehensile-tailed porcupine. The staff and their small traveling circus have made the penthouse of the pet-friendly 70 Park Hotel their zoo away from home, and we dropped by yesterday to say hi.
After the jump, the cutest animal pictures you will see today!

Santa Paws is Visiting All The Good Little Dogs, Thanks To Kimpton
Where: United States

Oh, c’mon, you knew this was coming. Cute Hotel Doggies with Santa! Some hotels put up massive Christmas trees and wreaths, others offer delicious holiday spreads—and then there’s Kimpton, which loves dogs so much it set up a Santa photo op for them in cities all over the country.
Our picture was taken at Manhattan’s still-new Ink48, which you may recall is all the way west on 11th Avenue. That made for a bit of a trek in frigid weather, and may explain why we were one of the few dog owners to show up for the event.
Everyone at the hotel was very welcoming, and the lobby was cozy on a winter’s day, but we were a bit disappointed with the Santa. He was jolly—but not old, and not fat. The hotel offered costumes for the canine guests, but we refrained, since Winnie prefers the stylin’ look of her own scruffy fur.
She was, however, quite enamored with the dog treats that were hung on that little Christmas tree as ornaments. (Whoever put them there surely does not own a dog.) We managed to prevent her from tackling the tree to get the treats by bribing her with a biscuit from the hotel’s jar at the front desk, but then she caught sight of a Frenchie puppy and refused to look at the camera. Dogs!

Long Beach Hotels Going to the Dogs This Weekend

Yes, this dog has dreads. He’s a Puli. If you’re staying in a Long Beach hotel this weekend, you’ll probably share an elevator with one of these guys. You might also see an Afghan hound in foils, or a sheepdog wearing booties. Dogs with crazy hair will be all over Long Beach this weekend, thanks to the 2009 AKC/Eukanuba National Championship dog show. If you loved Best in Show, or just like checking out adorable doggies, you can buy a ticket to the show, scope out the “Meet the Breeds” exhibit at the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center—or just hang out in one of the hotel lobbies and watch the spectacle.

Surf's Up for This Frenchie in San Diego

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.
