ARLINGTON, VA, October 17, 2007. The new Hotel Palomar Arlington at Waterview, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants' art-centric luxury boutique hotel that is opening this November, is laying out the red carpet for its four-legged guests this holiday season. So step aside owners and watch your pet take center stage with the hotel's Santa Paws Package.

Perfect for pet lovers visiting the Washington metro area during the holidays, the package includes overnight accommodations in an art-inspired deluxe room for two guests and their furry friend and a festive holiday jacket complete with a removable, stuffed candy cane toy that's bound to make other pooches at the dog park envious. Also included is a fashion-forward zebra-striped mat on which your pup can unwind after a long walk around bustling Rosslyn. If Fido gets a bit stressed, he can gnaw on a candy cane rawhide that is provided at turndown. Finally, to capture the holiday adventure, take home a festive keepsake photo of you and your pet and an easel to display the picture.

While you enjoy the hotel's complimentary evening wine hour, your dog can cleanse his palate with a sip of water at the hotel's dog bar and snack on complimentary treats. In keeping with the hotel's theme of 'art in motion,' pets will also have the opportunity to create a paw-painted masterpiece of their own. If your pooch would like an upgrade, Hotel Palomar Arlington offers services such as pet massages, grooming and dog walkers for an additional cost. Moreover, the hotel is situated on the scenic Potomac River, just across the bridge from DC's fashionable Georgetown district, making it the perfect location for holiday shopping excursions with your pet.

Priced at $209, the package is based on availability and does not include tax. Additional nights are available starting at $159 plus tax. To make reservations, call 866-505-1001 and ask for the Santa Paws Package. For more information on Hotel Palomar Arlington please visit www.hotelpalomar-arlington.com.
