Inside, their stay on the pet-friendly floor will include organic treats, bedding, bowls and doggy bags, while human guests can enjoy the in-room locally sourced gourmet minibar and views over Manhattan.

Water bowls and pick-up bags will be delivered to your sleek room before you head out with Fido to one of the nearby Midtown Manhattan parks.

The characterful Thomson-branded pet-friendly hotel in New York City is part of the Hyatt group and sits in the Financial District just off Wall Street.

Although one or two dogs are allowed and may be left unattended within the rooms, cats aren’t permitted.
