"The Monaco Alexandria is known around town as the place with that great Doggie Happy Hour. Near and far, we're known by many dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters—what have you—as a great place to stay when visiting northern Virginia. I like to think I have a lot to do with that. I'm Charlie, the Monaco Alexandria's Director of Pet Relations. Be sure to email me with your travel dates and preferences and I'll do what I can to make your stay a special one."

Memorable Pet Guest Story

Last week Charlie met Bridget, a King Charles Cavalier, and special guest. Charlie recalls, "Her mommy was getting married at the hotel, and Bridget was along to celebrate! To help her relax before the big day, I sent Bridget a gift of a fabulous doggie bed and special treats to enjoy in their loft suite, plus I gave her the inside scoop on the best dog parks and bakeries in town to enjoy with her new family. During the wedding reception we played in the courtyard with some of the kids from the wedding party, and I think they had a great time too!"

Top Tips for Pet Travelers

In addition to the Monaco Alexandria's Doggie Happy Hour and "Sit! Stay at the Monaco" package, Alexandria offers plenty of perks for pets. There are pet-friendly parks and attractions, including historical sites and a riverboat cruise. There are several off-leash parks and dog run areas. Charlie also recommends the Olde Towne School for Dogs (his alma mater and favorite pet store), Fetch Doggie Bakery, Waterfront dog park, and Jackson 20 Restaurant.
