Six unmissable places to travel with your pet

Pets have become an integral part of our families. So much so that more and more often we want to involve them in various activities, including travel. Hilton is sharing five incredible pet-friendly destinations at some of its hotels in America to welcome cats and dogs.

1.Chicago, USA

Chicago has many parks dedicated exclusively to pets. A local favorite is Montrose Beach Dog Park, a 16,000-square-foot stretch of sand on the shores of Lake Michigan. Those who prefer quiet walks can take the opportunity to go shopping, as many of the city’s department stores are pet-friendly.

For lodging, furry visitors to Hilton Chicago and their owners will be able to purchase a “Fur Mama” package, which includes a “Fur Mama” T-shirt, plus a full list of nearby parks, veterinarians and boutiques.

2. Atlanta, Georgia

There are over 10 dog parks in Atlanta, a city that is definitely dog ​​friendly. Among them is the Piedmontese Dog Park, one of the most famous in the city, with 12,000 square meters of open space where they can play and run freely.

For a very enjoyable visit to Atlanta, the best option is the Waldorf Astoria Atlanta Buckhead, which pampers its dog and cat guests with a “Pawfect Stay” in the heart of the most upscale neighborhood. The package combines the luxury of Waldorf service with personalized pet amenities such as a leash, plush bed, meal pack, and a map of pet-friendly Atlanta parks.

3. Santa Barbara – USA

The city of Santa Barbara, located on the central coast of California, is a must-see destination for its Spanish colonial architecture and the Santa Ynes Mountains as a stunning backdrop. Pets of all sizes are welcome in downtown Santa Barbara, and with plenty of outdoor terraces and restaurants, it’s the perfect place to grab a bite to eat while our faithful companion basks in the sun. One plan might be to visit Chase Palm Park and Shoreline Park, or walk along Cabrillo Boulevard before heading to Zona Funk for a glass of wine at one of the local tasting rooms, many of which welcome friends.

For a relaxing end of the day, the best accommodation option is the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort. In addition to being pet friendly, this hotel also has a pet manager, an adorable dog named Franklin, who has been in this position since October 2018. This special “manager” always greets guests and teammates with excitement and enthusiasm. When you’re on duty, you never miss an opportunity to stop by the front desk for a treat and some attention from your team members.

4. Sao Paulo, Brazil

São Paulo is an enchanting destination that offers visitors and their pets a wide range of plans to spend their special time in parks, restaurants, malls and hotels. In December, the city received the largest dog park in Latin America. The Ibirapuera Park, covering over 9,000 square meters, has a variety of agility furniture, concrete benches with a metal structure for classes and wooden seats.

Just a 20-minute walk from Ibirapuera Park, Canopy by Hilton Sao Paulo Jardins is the perfect place for your pet. Like over 35 Canopy by Hilton hotels around the world, Sao Paulo welcomes four-legged guests with their own bed, food and water bowls, local treats and toys.

5. Lima, Peru

There are several pet entertainment options in Lima as the importance of these creatures in our lives becomes more and more evident. With malls, restaurants, shops, over 10 dog parks and some beaches that allow them, entertainment is guaranteed. The Hilton Garden Inn Lima Miraflores welcomes special guests in the perfect location to feel the Pacific breeze and enjoy a relaxing stroll through the city’s main attractions.

For adventurous travelers and their pets, select Hilton hotels in the UK and Ireland are offering Bone Appetit, a new dog menu developed in collaboration with veterinary nutrition experts and endorsed by DogFriendly, providing dog lovers with hotel and restaurant information. The menu includes dishes such as lamb roast and doguignon fillet.
