Dogs Available at the Better Hotels

Here in Calgary where I live, one of the top-end hotels has a resident dog for guests who miss having a furry friend greet them at the day's end, or who feel funny walking without a leash in hand.

The Sheraton Suites is one of our swanky downtown hotels, where at least some of the National Hockey League teams stay when they come to play against the Calgary Flames. So, if it's good for the Sheraton Suites, maybe every hotel needs a dog. The Sheraton's website says they allow dogs up to 80 pounds, for an extra charge. Hmmm. I love my dogs but sometimes the vacation is partly to get away from them.

Just kidding!

(You can see a picture of Ben the Dog here on the staff page, with Erin from Sales.)

This picture from addedentry shows a smart-looking doggy at the Hotel Goldener Adler, in Bern, Switzerland. I think addedentry was on his honeymoon. Congrats, and thanks for sharing the picture.

Good post!!

I agree - it's always good to have a dog around.

Here in Oz, we banned dogs from 'public premises' when we went thru the anti-bacterial phase in the 80's.

But in small country pubs, right under the 'No dogs allowed' sign, there's always a bluey or a kelpie laying about.

As there should be.

Thanks for the comment. I'm surprised to hear that about dogs being banned in Oz, though now you mention it, I didn't see any out and about in the cities.

But what I found surprising was that sparrows were flying around and living happily in more than one coffee shop, including a Starbucks in downtown Melbourne. I'd rather have a dog on the ground than a bird overhead. The birds are cute, but the mess... not so much.
