Hotels around the world now offer five-star levels of pampering, including gourmet food and treats and luxury beds for jet-setting pets of animal lovers.

Travelling can be exhausting, and even human frequent fliers need advice on how to relax during a stressful flight; it’s no wonder that jet-setting pets need some TLC, too.

The Little Nell in Aspen, Colorado, welcomes pets as overnight guests throughout the hotel and can be walked by hotel attendants as part of the service.

This has not gone unnoticed by the hospitality industry, which is happy to cater to whims and demands are greeted with smiles.
