Adorable animals in residence

Nearly a century ago, a stray cat wandered into the Algonquin Hotel in Manhattan and decided to stick around. Hamlet might not have been the first animal ambassador, but he was certainly one of the earliest. The hotel has had cats ever since (seven male Hamlets and three female Matildas).

Fairmont Hotels Resorts launched a canine ambassador program in 2001, and since then, more and more properties – from luxury hotels to museums to airports – have been adding animals to their staff to create a sense of homeyness and promote guest enjoyment.
