A new hotel in Gurugram has all the trappings of a luxury getaway—for your pooch
There’s a rooftop swimming pool. A spa with aromatherapy massages on offer. Air-conditioned rooms with velvet-upholstered bedding that range from standard single to a royal suite with attached balcony. Round-the-clock personal assistance. A medic on call. A leisure room with your favourite TV channels and lots of games to keep you entertained. A fitness instructor. Healthy, freshly cooked meals. A shopping centre and café. And lots of smiling, happy people to pat your head and tell you how cute you are.
That sure sounds like it’s doggy heaven.
Critterati, a luxury pet hotel in Gurugram, has held nothing back when it comes to pampering your four-legged family. Launched eight months ago by hotelier and realtor Deepak Chawla and his wife Jaanwi, the five-storey property near the swanky Galleria market in Gurugram’s DLF Phase IV has its sights set on being the most luxurious dog hotel in all of South Asia.
Offering day boarding as well residential services to wealthy dog owners from across north India– they even have customers travelling in from as far as Punjab and Madhya Pradesh to leave their furry darlings when out travelling—the hotel has quickly made its mark and upped the ante for dog kennels and boarding centres in the NCR.
