Paws Here:
Four Seasons Hotel Washington, DC

No bones about it: If you love your dog, travel, DC, and luxury in equal parts, there is no place better in the world to stay at than the Four Seasons Hotel at the edge of Georgetown.

The last time I checked in with Jesse, a bon vivant cocker spaniel of my long acquaintance, the following goodies greeted us in our suite on a silver platter:

  • Six home-baked, heart-shaped crunchy dog biscuits sitting on a doily on yet a smaller silver platter
  • a crystal bud vase holding a single dendrobium orchid
  • a bottle of Evian
  • a dog bowl with paws for feet
  • a squeaky toy in the shape of a newspaper
  • and a personal, hand-written letter from the assistant manager, welcoming Jesse to The Four Seasons Washington, DC.

Jesse was a well-traveled pet, but this, I could tell, impressed him mightily.
