With so many Hong Kong staycations being offered this year, pet owners might be put off by the idea of having to leave their fur babies behind. The solution? Bring them along!
Hong Kong is now home to a variety of brilliant pet-friendly hotels promising to pamper your pet in style – think luxury amenities, delicious in-room dining, and fun activities galore. We’ve rounded up eight of Hong Kong’s best pet-friendly hotels for a staycation to remember:
Rosewood Hong Kong
Let your pup live in the lap of luxury with Rosewood Hong Kong’s fun-filled Four Legged Friends package. This no-expense-spared staycation includes an array of in-room goodies for your pet – like natural ProVet treats, a chew toy, plush bed and food bowl – alongside a sumptuous in-room breakfast and luxurious afternoon tea for both you and your furry friend to feast on.
The package also includes a special 45-minute pet yoga class – insert downward dog joke here – with the option of adding on even more VIP perks, such as pet photoshoots, wholesome meals from their specially-designed pet menu, and grooming or training sessions, if you so desire. Even better, with each pup staycation, Rosewood Hong Kong makes a donation to the SPCA to help homeless animals… it’s a win-win all-round.
