ALOFT HOTELS HOSTS "NO WATCH PUPPY PARTIES" TO EASE ELECTION SCARIES
Pet-friendly hotel brand invites Americans to decompress with puppies on Nov 5
BETHESDA, Md., Oct. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Election anxiety is hitting Americans hard with one week left until November 5. Luckily, Aloft Hotels knows that one of the most effective methods for decreasing stress is spending time with a furry friend.
Aloft Hotels is hosting "No Watch Pawties" at five locations in major cities nationwide on election night. The hotel brand, which offers a variety of puppy-friendly amenities through its signature ArfSM (Animals R Fun) program, is partnering with local shelters in New York City, Austin, Orlando, Atlanta and Milwaukee to invite consumers to hang with some lovable and cuddly four-legged friends. There is no registration or fee required to attend the "No Watch Pawties," and the events are open to both hotel guests and locals.
In addition to limitless cuddles and playtime with the puppies and dogs from local shelters, attendees will get to enjoy a dog-led meditation video to encourage relaxation. The guide offers feel-good affirmations throughout including, "Repeat after me: I am PAW-some!" attendees will also enjoy complimentary specialty cocktails, mocktails and light bites at Aloft's signature W xyz® bar, while slipping into a puppy-induced bliss. News-weary attendees will be pleased to know that Election Day coverage is banned from playing during the "Pawties," offering everyone a brief break to unwind.
For those who can't attend but could still use a timeout from the political pollercoaster, Aloft invites Americans to tune into serenity with a 1-minute, dog-led mediation video featuring a sweet pup gazing into the camera with warm brown eyes as he softly encourages viewers to 'paws,' stretch, and stay positive.
The "No Watch Pawties" will be hosted on November 5 at the following locations nationwide:
- Aloft Atlanta at the Battery, 5-7PM
- Aloft Orlando Downtown, 5-9PM
- Aloft Austin Downtown, 5-7PM
- Aloft Milwaukee Downtown, 5-7PM
- Aloft New York Chelsea, 5-7PM
Aloft prides itself on welcoming guests' four-legged travel buddies on property and wants to bring that feel-good oxytocin we all need to everyone, especially now.
"Everyone needs a chance to de-stress at the moment and we decided to share some of the comfort dogs bring both virtually and in-person this election season," said Brian Jaymont, Global Brand Leader for Aloft Hotels. "We hope this calming video and our No Watch Puppy Parties give people a chance to relax and reset, even if it's only a couple of hours."
