No longer is it enough to put yourself and/or your family up in a luxury hotel while on vacation, pooch needs a great place to sleep as well. A Paris hotel for dogs has taken owners’ love for their dogs and turned it into a luxury retreat fit for a king (of dogs).

Heated pools, massage salons and a-la-carte menus are de rigueur at luxury hotels across the world but in one exclusive Paris establishment the difference is the guests: they have four legs, and enthusiastically wagging tails.

Actuel Dogs bills itself as France's first luxury hotel for dogs, and founders Devi and Stan Burun, a dog behavior specialist and lifelong dog-lover, also offer training programs unruly hounds and dog walks in the woods.
