Pooch Chicago

by Matt B on July 20th, 2007

In the heart of Lincoln Park is a huge $4-million hotel with exercise facilities, spa treatments, air purification systems, a heated pool with ionized water, heated floors, and a concierge service. Sounds wonderful, right? Don’t start packing your bags just yet though. This place is for your dog.

Pooch Chicago is a sophisticated canine boarding hotel providing a clean and vibrant environment for your pet. The building has several indoor and outdoor play yards that are designed with the animals’ safety and comfort in mind. Worried about your petite pooch being trampled by a larger dog? No need; your four-legged friend will only be playing and socializing with pups his or her own size. Pet care specialists also keep an eye on the “kids” on a continual basis, making sure everyone is playing nice.

After all that playing, every Pooch gets a well-deserved night of rest and relaxation. Staying in suites in five different hotel wings (to reduce noise and stress), the animals are surrounded by luxuries like skylights, plasma TVs, soothing music, and comfy bedding. And if that weren’t enough, your friend can be treated to aromatherapy massages, milk baths, facials, and pedicures.

A dog’s life isn’t sounding so bad after all.
