11. WE WELCOME
DOGSWe believe that the superior comfort of our hotel should
be accessible to our four legged friends. For this reason,
in all our hotels, our guests can stay in the company
of their dog!
When a guest makes a reservation and informs us that
they will be bringing their dog with them, we prepare
the room with a “dining area” carpet, a water bowl,
a food dish and a comfy dog bed. Members of our team
are always happy to offer friendly and attentive service
to our four legged guests.
