摘要

Donna Quadri-Felitti, academic chair and clinical associate professor of hospitality and tourism at New York University, once dismissed pet-friendly hotels as overhyped.

Quadri-Felitti blogged about herstayatthe FourSeasons Washington, DC with her dog, Pisa the Puppy, who was pampered with a special bed, toy, puppy treat, bottled water, ceramic bowls and a menu of doggie-food itemsthat could be ordered compliments of the hotel. "The total pet service was consistent with the other delights that have made the company one of the leaders in luxury," Quadri-Felitti wrote. "It reinforced everything you might imaginethe FourSeasonsto be."
