InDOGuration Special at Loews Hotels

If you are fortunate enough to be in the position to travel right now, you are probably still looking for a deal. This economy is no joke, and every little bit counts. While the Loews Hotels are by no means budget accommodations, they are having a special promotion right now for canine guests. In honor of the recent presidential inauguration and the future "first dog," Loews Hotels wants to let every dog experience the presidential treatment. Their Presidential Pooch Package is in effect for the first 100 days of the Obama presidency (until April 29, 2009). The special offers rates starting at $119 per night and includes the following:

• A one-night stay at one of Loews Hotels 17 properties for guests and their pets
• A special Stars and Stripes room service meal for dogs
• An American flag bandanna for dogs to wear home

I had the opportunity to experience the Presidential Pooch Package myself. I recently brought my dog with me to the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel in Nashville. They treated us like royalty - especially my dog! Plus, there was a great dog park right down the street. Check out my review to learn more.

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, a romantic getaway might be just the thing - and it can be even nicer if your dog can come along! Plus, if you have a Loews Hotel or other pet-friendly hotel in your area, then you can save on travel costs without missing out on luxury. Traveling with your dog can be a great bonding experience, too - if you plan properly. Please share your stories of past or future hotel stays with your dog!
