At This Hotel In Aspen, This Adorable Bernese Mountain Dog Will Come and Tuck You In At Night

Vacations – we love them, and if your idea of a dream vacation is escaping to snow and winter fun, you might want to consider planning a trip to Aspen.

The only downside to traveling is that sometimes our furry friends can’t come with us. While we have several pet sitters we know and trust, it’s just not the same when our beloved pets aren’t there to share the experience with us.

Whenever possible, we like to look for hotels that allow pets, and we’ve found an amazing one in Aspen. The St. Regis Aspen Resort is definitely a luxury hotel with their very own spa, amazing restaurants and suites with marble bathrooms and custom leather beds. Yet, they have one other truly unique perk – their very own dog.

Yes, the resort has adopted a Bernese Mountain dog named Kitty Jacob Astor IV. This is the first time ever that the Aspen property has had a resident dog. Kitty is named after the St. Regis’ Hotel founder, John Jacob Astor IV, who had a dog named Kitty. Kitty was born in July 2018, and around Christmas, the hotel announced that the dog would officially live there. It was their very own Christmas present.

Kitty has his very own Instagram page where you can see him playing in the snow, interacting with hotel guests and running down the hotel’s halls. Kitty also helps with the children’s storytime, guest airport arrivals and is even available to wish guests goodnight.

While you can certainly enjoy interacting with Kitty during your stay at the St. Regis Aspen Resort, that doesn’t mean that you can’t bring your own beloved pet with you. The hotel welcomes dogs and even has many amenities just for them. There’s a one-time $75 fee and a $25 per day fee per room to bring your pets with you, but since that’s per room and not per pet, that means that if you have multiple dogs, you’ll still only have the one fee.

If you want to take your dog(s) with you to enjoy the snow, the hotel offers dog hiking vests, dog booties, dog carriers and more amenities to make sure your pet is able to maximize his enjoyment outside.

If you want to venture out without your pet once in awhile, the hotel also offers dog walking and dog sitting services.

Upon arrival, guests with pets will also be provided with a dog bed and a dog bowl. There are even exclusive menu options for pets.
