Auberge Resorts Pampers Pets with New Amenities

MILL VALLEY, CALIFORNIA (July 5, 2006) – Not allowing guests’ four-legged friends to play second fiddle to their owners, Auberge Resorts has unveiled new pet amenities at three of its properties: Calistoga Ranch, Napa Valley; Esperanza, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico; and the Inn at Palmetto Bluff, South Carolina. Pets accompanying guests can now enjoy luxurious custom pet beds, pet room service menus and attentive treatment their owners have become accustomed to at Auberge Resorts.

The highlight of the new dog beds will be daily-changed, custom-fitted Italian linen sheets by Rivolta Carmignani, renowned for their soft and luxurious sheets made with 100 percent natural fibers. The beds are fitted with custom velvet exterior fabric featuring signature colors at each of the three properties: nutmeg brown at Calistoga Ranch; copper at Esperanza; and sage green at Palmetto Bluff. Another integral part of the beds is orthopedic pads and topped with a down-filled cushion for maximum comfort.
