As you may know, we devote an entire floor at Hotel deLuxe to guests traveling with pets. (They even get their own menu!) If you ask me, that floor should have Hollywood shots of Benji, Toto and Trigger… I’ll work on that.

But I understand that even though Hotel deLuxe is very accommodating of your canine companions, that’s not necessarily true of most Portland restaurants and shops. What to do? Well, one solution is to consult portlandpooch.com.

This hound-happy site identifies all kinds businesses devoted to your dog, from vets to doggy daycare to area dog parks to, yes, dog-friendly restaurants. So give Rex a good brushing and hit the town.

By the way, the closest bets (to Hotel deLuxe) are Crackerjacks and The Dragonfly Coffee house on NW Thurman and the Portland Brewing Taproom on NW 31^st.

Bon appetit!

I saw something this morning you don’t see every day: a woman carrying two dogs dressed like Captain and Tennille. Or at least that’s what I thought they looked like. The one had a captain’s hat on anyway.

Not a lot of people know that the third floor of the Hotel Deluxe is OK for pets. And I just learned that we’re now introducing room service for pets. (True!) I’ve got to take the hotel pet menu home and show Orson (my bulldog). I haven’t tasted them, of course, but I know he would go totally mental for the “Beef Liver and Bacon Balls”.

The food is just part of a bunch of new stuff for pets that includes everything from a private bed and a library of pet-related books. The hotel will even arrange pet services daycare and massage. Orson could definitely use the pet psychic!
