A city hotel is responding to a boost in trade by launching a new offer of luxury hampers to treat guests.
But this time the customers it is keen to pamper are of the four-legged variety. In a move set to have tongues - and tails - wagging, INNSiDE on Newcastle quayside is focusing its attention upon dogs and it is now offering a pick of hampers catering for an overnight stay, weekend break or special birthday. And these include treats and toys as well as bedding and 'essential items' to ensure that each visiting pet feels top dog.
The 161-bedroom hotel's new addition to its services follows what it says is a 75% increase in dog stays over the past year, with many owners booking specially to celebrate their four-legged friend’s birthday. The INNSiDE by Meliá hotel has taken the lead by joining up with local independent pet boutique Purple Hound to provide the range of stylish hampers for guests staying there with their pets.
