Animal advocate Doris Day’s legendary Cypress Inn is celebrating puppy love throughout the month of February. At the iconic 1929 landmark, Director of Pet Relations Sadie welcomes pets with the Puppy Love package starting at $199 per night, double occupancy.

One of California’s first hotel properties to welcome pets in the mid-1980s, Cypress Inn has since welcomed everyone from parrots to pot bellied pigs.  Standard operating procedure includes concierges carrying grain-free all-natural dog treats and all of the Inn’s 44 crisp, contemporary guestrooms appointed with dog bowls, plush dog beds and in-room fireplaces.  Top treats for February include Tricks for an upgrade upon arrival (based on availability) and complimentary Cypress Inn logo collar tag for Fido to tout his travels.
