"My name is Nikos and I love my job as Director of Pet Relations at Hotel Palomar Los Angeles - Westwood. You can often find me in the hotel living room meeting and greeting our VIPs (Very Important Pet guests) as well as their moms and dads. I also love playing with children since they're small like me and I'm very good at making them laugh. When you stay with us, I will be happy to share some insider tips including who gives the best belly rubs, where all the treats are stashed, and which LA restaurants will allow your owners to take you along. I hope you enjoy your stay here as much as I love working here!"

Memorable Pet Guest Story
"Nikos develops frequent crushes on the guests, especially small children as he loves to play with them. He recently fell for a little girl in the living room who just got the biggest kick out of him. Every time Nikos approached her to say hello, she couldn't stop giggling. The more she giggled, the more Nikos feverishly wagged his tail. The love was contagious and soon, everyone else in the living room was laughing too. If they had tails, they'd surely be wagging."

Favorite Places
Los Angeles is a fabulous town for dogs and there are many places to get treated like a star. To stay looking my best, I head to Sparky's Pet Salon with locations in Beverly Hills and West Los Angeles. If I'm short on time, Judy's Pet Depot is a quick walk in our neighborhood and they also do a wag-worthy job. When my mom is hungry and wants to take me along, we go to The Farm of Beverly Hills or Urth Caffe which both allow dogs outside. When it's time for me to get some exercise, we head to Barrington Dog Park in Brentwood. You may even spot some celebrity pooches!
