With so many Hong Kong staycations being offered this year, pet owners might be put off by the idea of having to leave their fur babies behind. The solution? Bring them along!

Rosewood Hong Kong

Let your pup live in the lap of luxury with Rosewood Hong Kong’s fun-filled Four Legged Friends package.

The package also includes a special 45-minute pet yoga class – insert downward dog joke here – with the option of adding on even more VIP perks, such as pet photoshoots, wholesome meals from their specially-designed pet menu, and grooming or training sessions, if you so desire. Even better, with each pup staycation, Rosewood Hong Kong makes a donation to the SPCA to help homeless animals… it’s a win-win all-round.
