Should staycations include pets? We review the W Hong Kong’s new animal-friendly and totally Instagrammable hotel package, Pets Are Welcome

Next time you take a staycation, bring your dog or cat along to W Hotel’s fur-friendly Pets Are Welcome programme, which offers complimentary pet toys, gourmet pet food, and a guide to nearby pet-friendly experiences – but what about the hotel gym, spa, and restaurants?

We’re at the W Hong Kong and my dog Brooke has no idea why she’s suddenly so popular. Granted, she’s the more sociable one of my pets – one of my cats hates human beings in general and the other is grounded for hissing at Rami Malek – so it’s fallen to Brooke to experience the hotel’s Pets Are Welcome (PAW) programme.

At 15.3kg, Brooke is just over the weight limit of 15kg – which seems to be standardised across Hong Kong’s pet-friendly hotels – but I manage to convince the powers that be that it’s nothing a good number two won’t fix.
