I used to work at the Four Seasons in Toronto when I was in college. It was a posh place to work, and I learned what real service was all about and how important it was for Four Seasons to go the extra mile in every way possible.

This weekend, I was lucky enough to visit the Four Seasons in Scottsdale, no work required. And being a guest, I realized that they are still doing everything possible to make the Four Seasons name truly synonymous with luxury.

Of course I was impressed by the big things: the fabulous decor in the lobby and the guest room; the level of service in everything from check-in to check-out; and the delicious food and drink options all over the resort (you must try Talavera for dinner, and I recommend in-casita dining for breakfast, which is an amazing way to enjoy the scenery from your balcony and dine in your Four Seasons robe.)

But what I REALLY loved, were the smaller things, that go a long way in my books.

I got a puppy about four months ago and of course he is my little pride and joy, so I hate to leave him when I go away. Well, I was so happy to learn that the Four Season Scottsdale is pet-friendly. And by pet-friendly, I mean REALLY friendly. They love pets! And that make any pet-owner have a better, less stressful vacation.

My little doggie, Teddy, was very welcome there and upon arrival room service brought him a very special treat. A doggie bowl and place mat (with Fiji water, no less), a plate with his name on it in white chocolate letters for him to lick, a special baked bone treat and a brand new organic chew toy. Now THAT is service. What a hotel respects everybody’s comfort, even a dog’s, you know you are in good hands.

This was the first time I have taken my dog to a hotel, and they could not have made it easier or more fun. being a new dog owner I can safely say that a pet-friendly hotel is not something I will always look for, and the Four Seasons is certainly being smart in allowing man’s best friend to come along for the fun.

On a side note, they are offering some amazing summer deals, and honestly, its a few degrees cooler up at the resort, so its a good break from the heat of Scottsdale. Check out the deals online at http://www.fourseasons.com/scottsdale/
