Dogs checking into Kimpton’s Hotel Palomar Dallas will be met by a friendly–and furry–face. This pet-friendly hotel has just named the hotel’s first director of pet relations: Kora, a four-month-old golden Labrador retriever puppy. Kora is in good company in Kimpton hotels, with seven other canine colleagues that also greet guests with a friendly tail wag and the best pet-friendly tips and treats.
Kora Special: To commemorate the new “top dog” position, Kimpton’s Hotel Palomar Dallas is offering a special Kora deal with 50 percent off the best available room rate.
Dates: The special Kora rate is available between November 1 and December 31, 2009. Just enter the KOR rate code when booking.
Pet Amenities: As part of the offer, Kora’s guests at Kimpton’s Hotel Palomar Dallas always benefit from a host of complimentary pet-friendly amenities including:
- Welcome board greeting pet guests by name
- “Hotel Guest” pet ID tags with contact information, for safety while out on the town
- Specialty pet bowl and bed for the stay
- “Doggie” bag with bottled water, designer treats, and Kora’s helpful recommendations for pet-friendly restaurants, dog parks, specialty stores, and other great resources
- Door hangers to alert guests/staff that a pet is in the room
- Steady supply of plastic bags for walking
For guests looking for a pet companion during their stay, Hotel Palomar Dallas even provides a goldfish to keep them company, upon request.
About Kora: “All of Kimpton’s amazing boutique hotels welcome dogs, cats, and other pets – with no fees or special deposits and without weight or size limits, says Andrew Wright, general manager of eco-and pet-friendly Hotel Palomar Dallas. “With her friendly demeanor and love of people and animals alike, we knew Kora would be the perfect addition to our team, eager to make pet-friendly travel an even more pleasant experience at our hotel.”
“Kora will make sure that every four-legged, creeping and hopping guest who comes through the door at Hotel Palomar Dallas is welcomed in style,” says Wright. “She even has her own e-mail address — kora@hotelpalomar-dallas.com — where guests can contact her with any special requests or questions for their pets’ stay.”
Kora made her official debut as director of pet relations at a Hotel Palomar Dallas’ posh Howl-O-Ween Spooktacular event benefiting her favorite charity, Operation Kindness – North Texas’ oldest and largest no-kill animal shelter. Throughout the year, Kora will host other pet-friendly events and announce new deals or packages for pet travelers.
