Sonesta Hotels teamed up with Best Friends Animal Society to support the society’s mission to end homelessness for animals. To celebrate the collaboration, Sonesta Select properties will serve a complimentary, pet-inspired mocktail to guests. These hotels also offer opportunities for guests and team members to donate to help save the lives of dogs, cats and other animals.

“We are proud to support Best Friends Animal Society in their mission to help save shelter animals and find them loving homes,” said Elizabeth Harlow, chief marketing and brand officer, Sonesta. “We understand the importance of pets to their families, and we are committed to making travel with pets possible and easier through our PAWS program. We look forward to welcoming our guests at Sonesta Select properties nationwide with a complimentary pet-themed mocktail and support Best Friends Animal Society’s progressive new initiatives and lifesaving programs.”

The mocktail, called Sonesta Puppy Love, features cranberry juice accented with fall flavors like apple, cinnamon and ginger. Upon checking in, guests can access a QR code located on hotel key card sleeves to donate to Best Friends Animal Society. Sonesta also plans to offer animal volunteering opportunities for team members at Best Friends Animal Society centers in Los Angeles, Atlanta, New York City, Salt Lake City, Houston and Northwest Arkansas.

The hotel brand also intends to host future animal adoption events and other programs at Sonesta Select properties. Sonesta’s collaboration with Best Friends Animal Society closely follows the May 2022 introduction of PAWS (Pets are Welcome at Sonesta), a program offering amenities to pamper every pet, from feeding bowls to a complimentary dog treat and check-in to specialized pet beds.

KŌAST Review

In Los Angeles, word spreads quickly when a bonafide “A-list” chef opens a new restaurant, complete with a painstakingly crafted menu and ambiance that whispers (not shouts) “exclusive.” This is certainly the case with the warmly lit, 60-seat KŌAST Melrose, packed every night since its Jan. 29 opening. While the dining experience involves painstakingly prepared dishes almost too pretty to tear into, the management and staff keep things grounded to ensure it shines as a “neighborhood spot” more about the food than whomever comes in to enjoy it.

Vancouver Entices Meeting-Goers with Its Stunning Beauty and Sustainability

When I first visited Vancouver, I was headed to the city for a work event. I anticipated a hectic few days of business travel, but what I didn’t expect was the awe-inspiring natural beauty of the city. From there, I ventured out into the wilds of Canada’s Pacific Coast with a trip to Vancouver Island and Tofino. I have returned — for work and pleasure — many times since over the years. I found that first trip nothing short of perfect, which is unsurprising considering Vancouver has established itself as an alluring and unique destination for MICE tourism. Vancouver offers sustainability and versatility for business travelers and hosts more than 500 major domestic and international conventions, tradeshows and more.
