Brown's Hotel, London

Opened in 1837 in the heart of Mayfair, Brown's Hotel is still one of the top addresses in the British metropolis. And while dogs and their masters enjoy pampering moments in the spa and first-class gourmet experiences, Bello and Co. can also feel like royalty. Exquisite dog cookies, made by the chef's secret recipe (Adam Byatt), are also available, as is a cosmetic bag from William Morris At Home.

Among other things, it contains a paw and snout balm for the furry friends. The Doggy Guide leads you to the best lampposts in Mayfair, and meals are served à la Bark: raw minced beef fillet, for example. Well-behaved dogs can accompany their two-legged friends to dinner at Charlie's or the Drawing Room.

It's not just poodles that feel at home at The Mark Hotel. No wonder, as it offers luxury vacations with dogs directly opposite Central Park, one of the largest inner-city green spaces in the world. Located on Madison Avenue in the heart of Manhattan, the hotel is a style icon. And a little of this even rubs off on the four-legged guests. The stylish collection of dog accessories is inspired by the hotel's unmistakable interior design.

Bowls, coasters, dog beds ... all of this makes the hearts of design-loving guests beat faster. You can also find designer items from Poldo Dog Couture in The Mark's online store. How about a Signature-look bomber jacket and a raincoat for your dog? Yes, please! And to make sure the little treasures want for nothing, they are served gourmet cuisine. Of course, this is also devised by star chef Jean-George Vongerichten. Delicacies such as fresh salmon with a light cucumber, apple and spinach salad or an oatmeal dessert with blackberries, blueberries and strawberries are just right for your four-legged friends.
