Pet Friendly Hotels

Have always admired Ann Jame's work.  Interesting note, I posted about an

uber-cool boutique hotel in Paso Robles two days ago not knowing who the project

designer was.  Well, while exploring Ann Jame's portfolio I discovered she was the designer

for the Hotel Cheval.  She appears to be a very sought after designer in the Santa Barbara/

Montecito area (lucky girl).  

Dear Ann, I am a huge fan.  Lets meet for coffee--my treat :)

or

If you would rather meet for a glass of wine at Hotel Cheval, that would be great too!

Following are pictures of one of her Montecito projects.  I love how she does Spanish

with a contemporary vibe.  It always looks clean and fresh.

 I remain a huge fan of Spanish Colonial design.  Recently told my sister that I absolutely have to visit

San Miguel De Allende.  A few days later she sent me an article saying that San Miguel De Allende

had been chosen the best city IN THE WORLD to visit.

And my ADD just kicked in...

This is random, but I'm wondering what you think about the trend in high-end properties

to include dogs.

 There is the best photo of a doggy water fountain on Hotel Cheval's site.

Please let me know if you travel with your dogs.  Do you have a story about a place

that treats dogs especially well?  Do they sleep on the bed with you?
