Jumeirah's Essex House hotel in New York has announced the launch of a Canine Turndown Programme designed to pamper four-legged guests.
The hotel run by the Dubai-based hotel group has partnered with doggie designer to the stars, Amy Kizer of the Wagwear New York City boutique, to create luxurious five-star canine amenities, the company said in a statement.
Jumeirah Essex House in-room amenities, which are offered 365 days a year, include a Wagwear dog bed or Wagwear "Tee Pee Hound Lounge" - a miniature pop-up tent with fleece-lined bed.

The service also includes homemade dog treats created by the hotel's executive pastry chef, Wagwear food and water bowls accompanied by a matching placemat and a gift bag complete with a Jumeirah Essex House logoed fleece blanket.
Specialised doggie hospitality attendants are also available to treat pets to freshly-drawn water throughout the day and lay out their fleece blanket ready for their return to the room.

I bet those 'disgusting' animals are a lot less disgusting than many of the human guests. Sounds rather charming to me. The only criticism would have to focus on the merits of treating animals to gourmet food while people are hungry but probably a top of the range hotel is not the most sensible...
