Affinia Hotels Focuses on Pets

Last September, me, my wife, our two dogs, and a great friend were in NYC to see the US Tennis Open.  We stayed at the wonderfully pet friendly Affinia Gardens (215 E. 64th Street).  When we arrived, the hotel served up a welcome package that included a fold-up food/water bowl, treats, and a bag of doggie grooming products.

Yesterday, Affinia Hotels announced it is re-launching its popular pet friendly travel program, Jet Set Pets, to keep the furry member of the family feeling at home during any trip to New York, Chicago, and Washington, D.C.  Upon check-in at any of Affinia’s seven hotels, pets will receive these fun items that they can use during their stay and take home for future travels, including:

  • A signature nylon water bowl designed specifically for travel.
  • A city-specific chew toy: The Empire State Building for pets staying in New York; The Capitol Building for pets visiting Washington; and Al Capone for pets staying in Chicago.
  • A Robbie Dawg tin of organic treats in select flavors.

In addition, guests will receive a pet ‘Do Not Disturb’ for the door to alert others of the animal’s presence, a food and water bowl, a plush dog bed, and an extensive list of nearby pet services such as groomers, day care centers, local parks and dog runs, and pet-friendly restaurants.  Hotel concierges can arrange pet taxis, pet psychics and special occasion cakes for pets upon request.  A $25 fee per pet applies per stay in New York and Chicago.

The Affinia website has not yet been updated with the new information, so request your pet’s special treatment package when you make your reservation.
