Hotels more likely to have a spa and be pet friendly
Here's an interesting article about how hotels, even non-resorts, need spas to compete. Of course they are more expensive than spas outside of hotels:
According to Susie Ellis, president of spa marketing company Spa Finder, spa services at big-city hotels are more than 50% higher than at a day spa. The average cost of a massage at a hotel or resort spa is $120, $44 more than at a day spa.However, business travelers with little time are making sure that these spas remain profitable.
If bringing your pet to a hotel is more important than getting a massage while you're there, read this article on the friendliest cities for vacationers with pets. Here's another article that goes into more detail by talking about a particular family and a particular pet friendly hotel.
