NEW YORK CITY, NY, Jan. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Recognized as a 'five-paw' hotel for the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, New York's Hotel Pennsylvania welcomes with 'open paws' all canine hopefuls taking part in the 144th Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. This year, the Westminster Dog Show judging expands to three days and will take place from Sunday February 9th to Tuesday February 11th, 2020.

The Groups, Junior Showmanship Finals and important Best In Show will be held at Madison Square Garden on Monday and Tuesday nights, directly across the street from Hotel Pennsylvania. Only the Breed judging and benching will take place at Piers 92/94.

As a staple of New York, the hotel has reinvented itself to celebrate their 2019 Centennial Anniversary in the form of a multi-phase renovation that represents an evolution of its history, balancing the best of its original features with modern comforts and a fresh new aesthetic. With two of the planned three phases already completed, phase three of the guest room renovations is well underway as of early January.

"Each year, we are 'paws'itively excited to host these two-legged and four-legged VIPs to the hotel," said Gene Nicotra, Vice President and General Manager at New York's Hotel Pennsylvania. "Having recently celebrated our Centennial Anniversary and exciting guest room renovations, our 'paw'fect location and exclusive 'paw'menities can't be beat in the city!"

As a Westminster Gold Star Partner Hotel, the World's Most 'Pup-ular' Hotel will once again be offering exclusive services and amenities that make it the 'Top Dog' pick, including:
