Several Rome, Italy, hotels welcome canine guests, and some even offer special services for your pet. In fact, the entire city is officially dog-friendly; in 2007, Rome's Office for Animal Rights passed legislation banning electric and pointy dog collars and fining dog owners who don't take their pets on regular walks. If your dog needs some exercise, take it to Bau Beach, an off-leash park with swimming, toys, treats and lots of room to run.
The Rome Cavalieri not only allows dogs, it provides VIP---very important pet---treatment. Small dogs receive the Cavalieri's Pampered Pet service, which includes menus just for dogs, with options such as tuna, game and meat, rice and vegetable soup; a dog walking service; a dog sitting service; and "spa treatments" at a nearby pet spa, including bathing, massaging, skin treatments and brushing. The hotel's 15-acre grounds are open for dog walking. You can even order a cashmere dog sweater with your pet's name sewn on in fake gems. Hotel amenities for human guests include LCD televisions, marble bathrooms, high-speed Internet access and automatic shutters. Some rooms also feature city views, private balconies and king-size featherbeds. The Cavalieri also has a full-service spa with indoor pool and fitness center, several restaurants and bars, and a world-class art collection.
