Guests traveling to Orange County with their four-legged friends can now relax and unwind with their canine companions. The Westin South Coast Plaza’s Pampered Pooch package is ideal for dog lovers who want to completely spoil their best friends in style.

The special package assures owners that their pets will be totally pampered with a signature Westin Heavenly Dog Bed®, food bowl and mat, an official "Dog in Room" privacy sign, and a welcome amenity upon arrival. Each dog will receive a souvenir collar tag that proclaims, “I slept heavenly at The Westin South Coast Plaza,” at check-in.

There is a park conveniently located across the street from The Westin South Coast Plaza for an evening stroll or ball fetching. Dogs weighing 40 pounds or less are welcome at hotel, while dogs over 40 pounds may be permitted with prior approval.
