Who hasn’t dreamed of
living full-time in a lavish hotel with decadent feather pillows, 24-hour room
service and attentive staff?
For some lucky animals
that dream is a reality, with dogs, cats, peacocks and even a water buffalo
kept as pets by hotel staff around the world.
Animal
lovers on holiday can look forward being greeted in
reception by some of their favourite pets, making the following hotels their
perfect vacation stay.

Sands
Brock
the Norfolk terrier belongs to Harry Cragoe, owner of The Gallivant, a hotel
and restaurant opposite Camber sands.
Nearby day trips
include the Romney salt marshes, Dungeness, the quintessentially English town
of Rye and the Kentish Weald villages.
Hampshire
Oliver
Beckington is one of the most loved members of the team at
Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire.
Oliver, a black
Labrador, often greets guests on arrival and is typically to be found pottering
around the reception area, taking long walks across the Estate or enjoying a
well-deserved snooze on his beanbag in front of the fireplace.
Beckington also enjoys
sharing countryside walks across the Estate with his four-legged friends and
showing them around his favourite spots on the Estate.
Vauxhall
Waggers
a miniature chocolate labradoodle lives at Staybridge Suites London, a 93-suite
hotel located in the Albert Embankment.
The team depends on
Waggers to help welcome and check in guests on arrival and he has even had
one-to-one training for the role.
Phuket,
Thailand
The newly-opened
Keemala, a luxury hotel in the coastal town of Phuket in Thailand, has two
resident water buffaloes who help to
keep the lawns trim.
The animals were
rescued and have been staying with staff ever since.
Warwick
castle
Warwick castle, where
guests can stay overnight in a tower suite, a glamping lodge or medieval tent,
is home to 40 pet peacocks.
Over the summer a brood
of peacocks have been born at the Castle.
Four times each day the
peacock family enjoy a feast of
mealworms, with the occasional salad leaf as a treat.
Paris
Nearly four years ago,
luxury five star hotel the Castille Paris decided to adopt a Chartreux called Heliot to watch over the property.
Always happy to be
cuddled all day, Heliot often climbs on the reception desk to say hello to the
clients.

Boon
the dog, now 12 years old, inspired the name of the Boon Hotel & Spa in
California.
According to staff,

guests and leading them to reception.
