At Cappuccino Hotel, the 6 rooms located on the 3rd floor are pet friendly (hence the name, Bark Room). All 6 rooms will include a wooden canopy-style bed, pajamas, toys and a Greenies dental chews pack – all for your pet. Up to 2 pets below 10kg’s (small and medium dog breeds) will be allowed in each room (there are no restrictions for guide dogs, however). A unique thing about the Bark Rooms is that they offer a special room-service menu for pets. Your pet will have a choice of pet- friendly pasta and seaweed soup. If it’s your pet’s birthday, you can have a birthday cake specially ordered as well. Hotel amenities for your pet include pet clothing, homemade snacks and health products among various other items (offered at the specialty shop located on the first-floor lobby), an outdoor terrace space of the restaurant which can be reserved for you and your pet to enjoy a meal together, and a hanoki bath to relax in (priced at 50,000 won). A pet stroller which may come handy when moving around the hotels’ vicinity is provided her as well – Cappuccino Hotel has really gone out of its way to provide excellent service for pets.
