The Kimpton Hotel Monaco in Denver, CO has a sparkling new addition to its room service: The Puppies + Prosecco Package. The limited-time promotion for National Dog Day (that’s today, but also every day) enables guests to order puppies and Prosecco to their rooms.
Available for select days in August, the private puppy party includes six to 10 furry friends for an hour of rambunctious playtime. A bottle of bubbly is paired with Italian Cicchetti side dishes. A puppy expert will be on hand to help monitor the pups, as well as answer any questions, such as, “Can I adopt this adorable dog?”
Amazingly, you can: Pups are up for adoption via the Lifeline Puppy Rescue, and 50 percent of hotel package proceeds go to the organization. Get a little too buzzed, and you might just go home with a new roommate.
This amazing amenity is available to Kimpton Hotel Monaco guests who book a Luxury Suite between August 23 – 26, 2019. As a side note, National Prosecco Day is on August 13…just sayin’.
