与Permane毛皮和羽毛的朋友:8酒店nt Pet Residents

The postoriginally appeared on Yahoo! Travel.

Ever been to a hotel that has full-time residents? No, we're not talking aboutcelebritiesorEloise, but rather residents of the furry or feathered variety that act as mascots at various properties. These domesticated residents often greet guests upon arrival, and can be seen wandering around the lobby or grounds. Whether it be two friendly St. Bernards or a white Birman cat, these animals are more like hotel staff than pets, but they prefer petting to tipping. So if you have to leave your pooch or kitten at home while traveling, you can still get your pet time in at these eight hotels.
