To mark National Dog Day earlier this week, Crerar Hotels launched their search for the perfect pup who will become the face of its new Dogs of Crerar Hotels campaign.
The AA Small Hotel Group of the Year, which owns and operates a collection of dog-friendly four-and-five-star luxury hotels and inns across the country, is calling on guests to share their favourite photographs and videos of their four-legged friends at a Crerar Hotel property. The winning pooch will claim the title of Crerar Hotels new ‘ambassadog’ as well as enjoying a complimentary stay at a property of their choice.
Niall O’Shaughnessy, General Manager of Loch Fyne Hotel & Spa and parent to Callie and Willow, the hotel resident pups, said, “We’ve always believed that dogs are part of the family – which is why it’s so important to us to make their stay just as warm as welcoming as that of our two-legged guests.
“Therefore, what better way to celebrate the launch of our new Dogs of Crerar Hotels campaign than giving one lucky pup the chance to be our very first ‘ambassadog’ and experience our new dog-friendly offering first hand.
“We’re looking for a friendly, cheeky pup who isn’t afraid to show their personality in front of a camera.
“We’re really excited about our new dog-friendly package and can’t wait to see all the joyful pictures and videos captured at our hotels between our guests and their four-legged friends.”
Crerar Hotels has also announced a partnership with Edinburgh-based luxury dog accessories brand Stocky & Dee, who have developed a bespoke range of limited-edition collars, bow ties and poo bag holders in the colours synonymous with each hotel.
Mairi Robb, founder of Stocky & Dee, said, “We’ve designed a bespoke range of products with Crerar Hotels to help make their four-legged guests experience even better. Whether it’s a charming bow tie or the full set it will be a nice memento and will act as a reminder of their lovely stay.
“Each piece is carefully handmade by our team in Edinburgh, we use luxurious yarns and velvet to create our products with quality metal fittings and a dual branded tag to showcase both brands.”
