To be entirely honest, I'm writing this post listening to Doris Day on Spotify.

And you know why? Because Doris Day co-owns the hotel Sunset Magazine called “probably the most famous dog-friendly hotel in the country.” She's also 95—and looks great—which adds to my whole-hearted belief in the health benefits of spending time with dogs.

Anyway, today I'm dreaming a little dream (okay, I'll stop) of a pup-friendly escape to Cypress Inn in California's Carmel-by-the-Sea. 

Here's why we're dying to visit:

1. The inn has been open since 1929 and looks totally old-world glam.

2. Pet fees are $30 a night for your first pet, but $50 for two pets, or $70 for three.

3. The inn provides poop bags and a wash-off station for your dog after the beach.

4. Dogs are allowed to eat with their humans inside or on the patio.

5. The hotel provides a pet blanket for visiting dogs.

6. The front desk keeps a list of approved dog sitters, in case you need to go out without your dog.

We're definitely bookmarking this one for future travel. But que sera sera, right?
