Who says vacations are just for humans? In the charming coastal town of Del Mar, California, your furry friends can join in on the fun, too! Let’s stroll through some of the best pet-friendly hotels that’ll have your four-legged pals begging for a getaway.
Del Mar Beach Hotel: Where Old Meets New (and Dogs Are Welcome Too!)
Picture this: You’re lounging on a sun-soaked beach, the waves are crashing, and your loyal companion is beside you, tongue lolling and tail wagging. That’s the kind of experience you can expect at the Del Mar Beach Hotel.
This place has been around the block several times, but don’t let that fool you. They’ve given the whole joint a facelift, and boy, does it shine! It’s like your grandma’s house got a makeover from a fancy interior designer. The best part? It’s the only hotel right on the beach in Del Mar. Talk about location, location, location!
But what about your furry friend? Well, they’ve thought of everything. Your pup can enjoy the same swanky digs as you, with jaw-dropping ocean views. Just imagine the Instagram potential – #DogsOfDelMar, anyone?
Hotel Indigo Del Mar: Boutique Bliss for You and Your Buddy
If you and your pooch prefer a more intimate setting, Hotel Indigo Del Mar might be your cup of tea (or bowl of kibble). This boutique hotel is like that cool, artsy friend who always knows the best spots in town.
With ocean views that’ll make your tail wag, Hotel Indigo is a feast for the eyes. But the real treat? Their European-style day spa. We’re not saying they offer doggy massages (though that would be pretty awesome), but while you’re getting pampered, your pup can lounge in style in your room.
And let’s talk about those “many more amenities” they mention. We hope that includes some gourmet dog treats or a puppy concierge. A dog can dream, right?
L’Auberge Del Mar: Where “Fur Babies” are VIPs (Very Important Pooches)
Fancy schmancy alert! L’Auberge Del Mar is where you might expect to bump into a celebrity and their designer dog. But don’t worry, they’re not snobby about it. They roll out the red carpet for our four-legged friends.
From the moment you arrive, your dog is treated like royalty. They even get a “pooch welcome amenity.” We’re unsure what that means, but picturing a tiny bathrobe and gourmet bone-shaped cookies.
The folks at L’Auberge understand that your dog isn’t just a pet but a bonafide family member. They promise the same “gracious and personalized service” for your furry friend as they offer you. So, while you’re sipping on a fancy cocktail, Fido might be getting a belly rub from the concierge. Now, that’s what we call five-star service!
Les Artistes Inn: Where Every Dog Has Its Day (and Its Own Artsy Room)
Lastly, we have Les Artistes Inn, the hotel equivalent of that eclectic art teacher you had in high school. Each room here is inspired by a different famous artist, which means your stay could be a real trip (pun intended).
Imagine Fido lounging in a Van Gogh-inspired room or your cat giving you that judgmental look in a room that screams Picasso. It’s like sleeping in an art gallery but with more comfortable beds and fewer security guards telling your dog not to sniff the paintings.
While they don’t specifically mention their pet policy, the unique vibe of this place makes us think they’d welcome your furry Frida Kahlo or Salvador Dali with open arms.
The Bottom Line: Del Mar Loves Your Pets
So there you have it, folks. Del Mar isn’t just a paradise for humans; it’s also a doggy (and kitty) wonderland. From beachfront beauties to artsy retreats, there’s a perfect spot for every pet and their human.
Remember, while these hotels welcome your furry friends with open arms, it’s always a good idea to check their specific pet policies before you book. Some might have size restrictions, additional fees, or limits on pets per room. And let’s face it, no one wants to arrive at the hotel only to find out that your Great Dane is too big for the “small dogs only” policy.
So pack those chew toys, grab that leash, and get ready for a tail-wagging good time in Del Mar. Your pet’s dream vacation awaits!
