We splurged and stayed a night at the fabulous Ace Hotel. We had a room with a patio - perfect for the Oli dog.
There are two salt water pools, which believe me, spoil you completely. You'll be dread to go into chlorine ever again. They also have coed wet and dry saunas.
You can't believe how comfortable the beds are.
The rooms have record players. We had one record in the room, Lena Horne at the Waldorf Astoria. We played it.
There were also very comfy robes and a walking stick with a wrap.
This picture was taken about 5 seconds after we got in the room and Theron made himself comfortable.
Dogs are allowed pool side but not IN the pool. Well, Oli couldn't stand it. Before we could stop him he had done two laps. We're not really rule breakers, plus we hope to go back someday, so we took some pictures and escorted him back to the room.
That was one happy dog using his webbed toes for what they were made for. Oli's nickname is The Trompler, and you haven't been trompled till the Trompler gets you in the pool. On land, 70 lbs of muscle take a running leap and hold you down with black and white paws. In water you watch in terror and excitement as the Trompler aims his black nose at you like a torpedo.
The food in the restaurant was superb! And it was someone's birthday so the lovely hostess sang Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart. If you ever go, say it's your birthday - this will make you so happy.
It was a mini vacation worth every single penny.
