India’s first luxury hotel for dogs, Critterati opened in Gurugram. It is considered as South Asia’s first luxury hotel for dogs that charges approx. Rs 4,500 per night for a suite.
Chief executive Deepak Chawla opened Critterati to offer the wealthy an alternative to more down-at-heel facilities in India.
According to him, “No decent dog owner would want his dog to stay in bad conditions.”
What are the amenities?
A luxury suite in the hotel offers a huge bed with a velvet headboard, television and a private dog-flap leading onto a balcony.
There is a swimming pool, a spa with ayurvedic massage oils and a vet on 24-hour call, while a medical unit with operating theatre is being built.
The menu in the cafe includes rice & chicken, muffins, pancakes and ice-cream with bacon, a particular favorite, all that can be washed down with non-alcoholic dog beer from Belgium.
Busy day
Mr. Chawla says in standard kennels animals can be left alone for long hours.
“Here things are quite different. It starts from 7 am with potty breaks, then breakfast, then again a potty break, then play sessions for around two hours, then swimming sessions, then again play sessions, plus time in the café.”
