To this day, dogs can stay at the Hotel, accompany their owners in the restaurants, and even join our Members’ clubhouse, The Kennels. We thought that it was only fitting to dedicate an entire event to them, just as we do with cars and horses at our other flagship meetings.
As a team, we have a deep understanding of what really amuses our dogs. We know that they love playing together with their owners and with other dogs, getting plenty of exercise and fresh air, but each have their own personality.
Dogs mean so much to their owners so I'm looking forward to seeing some fantastic designs to house them in style.
