The Critterati Dog Hotel in the city of Gurugram is a niche hotel that caters exclusively to dogs. Critterati is the talk of the town for more than one reason. It is not a run-of-the-mill dog boarding facility but luxury at its best for the uber-conscious dog parents and their pooches. Plush suites with the whole shebang, spa, round the clock medical care, terrace-pool, dog café, bar, playroom and a grooming parlor all packed in this first of its kind Dog Hotel. Doesn’t it look better than the human hotel you last checked-into?
At $70 (RS. 4500) a night you can treat your furry baby to a decadent lifestyle and pampering of a special kind. Deepak Chawla chief executive, Critterati, opened the Hotel to offer an upscale setting to pets owned by a stratum that was always uncomfortable with regular Kennels. He told mail online that decent dog owners were never interested in sending their dogs to common dog boarding facilities that are operating in the country.
The hotel boasts an ultra luxury salon for pets.
