A hotel stay is a chance to spend one-to-one time with that special someone in your life \u2013\u00a0an anniversary, a birthday \u2013\u00a0and why should it be any different when it comes to your four legged fur baby? Yes, that\u2019s right, you can now spend a night with your fur baby in the lap of luxury.<\/p>\n

The Langham Sydney<\/a> is the only luxury hotel in Sydney to have opened its doors to guests of the feline and canine variety. And we\u2019re not just talking a crate thrown in the corner. If you\u2019ve got a pampered pet, this is the hotel for you!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m the first to admit my pet dog is my fur baby \u2013\u00a0she\u2019s got me wrapped around her little paw. I take her everywhere. Everywhere that she can go, that is. I miss her terribly when I\u2019m travelling, so the chance to take her with me, to share with her the joy of a five star hotel, well, I\u2019m in! Yes yes, I\u2019m kidding, sort of. There\u2019s something outrageously decadent, and fabulous, about spending an entire afternoon, evening and morning with your pup, in a five star hotel.
\n\"The
\nThe Pampered Pets Program is open to dogs and cats under 20kg, and they\u2019re made to feel welcome from the moment you walk up to the hotel. Stop and let them have a quick sip at the pink, Langham-branded water bowls at the front entrance, before heading inside the lobby to check in. Walking through the Langham\u2019s marble and flower-filled lobby with your dog is weird and wonderful at the same time. For a serious dog lover like me, its mainly wonderful. You\u2019re not made to feel awkward at all, especially when the hotel staff rush over to give your pet a pat! They seem just as delighted to have a dog in residence for the evening as Sheba, who sniffs and snuffles around the lobby while we check in.<\/p>\n

She continues to sniff all the way to our room, straining at the lead to charge down the hallway, and launching straight into the room, like a kid in a candy shop, as soon as I let her off her lead. Once every corner has been inspected, she promptly plops down on her bed. Not on our big enormous king size bed, but on her very own Langham doggie bed. Pink and gold, it\u2019s the perfect size, and I think she looks quite at home! The hotel staff have kindly left a bottle of water next to her water bowl (yep!), so she\u2019s all settled in before we\u2019ve even carried our bags through the door.<\/p>\n

The Langham Sydney sits on Kent Street in the CBD, the back of the hotel rooms look straight out at the water and Barangaroo Reserve, the new park precinct that wraps around the harbour. Sheba is pretty happy with her little balcony, and we throw open the doors so she can look out at the view \u2013\u00a0we appreciate it too! The reserve makes a great spot for an afternoon walk, with plenty of grass and pedestrian paths filled with families, dogs and Sydneysiders enjoying the weekend sunshine. After a long walk, Sheba is more than happy to stretch out on her bed, as are we, for evening\u00a0of reading and room service.
\n\"Langham
\nYes, room service. Pets have their very own room service menu, with special dishes like Woof Woof, slow cooked beef ragout, or ocean trout sashimi, cooked fresh. Now that\u2019s what I call catering to dietary requirements! Sheba goes for Lassie\u2019s Favourite, a bowl of Angus beef with vegetables, while we chow down on burgers, chicken soup and a moreish chocolate brownie sundae. Her food comes with ours, under a silver cloche and is delivered straight to her dog bowl. It\u2019s as close to fine dining as she\u2019ll come \u2013 it\u2019s a real treat for both of us.<\/p>\n

She doesn\u2019t get to join me for breakfast, with my husband taking turns with me to pop down for a bite to eat \u00a0\u2013 but for us it\u2019s not a big deal. The food-service areas of the hotel, the Palm Court and Bistro Remy are off limits \u2013\u00a0but the hotel offers pet sitting, so you can pop out for the evening or try out the restaurant stress free. Babysitting, but for pets!<\/p>\n

For dogs that are well-behaved, like Sheba, who hopped onto her bed as soon as we turned the lights out, and stayed there through the night, this is a really fun, rather fabulous experience. We\u2019ll be back, because a dog really is man\u2019s best friend, and who doesn\u2019t want to treat their best friend?!<\/p>\n
