If you like to take your dog along on your family trips but have a hard time finding a place to stay, try one of these luxury hotels offered by Kimpton.  They have hotels in various places and even though we have not stayed at one of these yet, we hope to do so b/c the rooms look so nice and surprsingly the rates are not too bad.  They offer pampering services for your dog; dog walking, dogsitting and special meals.  I will certainly share my experience but in the meantime if anyone takes advantage of this, please share your thoughts and experience.
