To quote the Warwick’s website about their “pampered pooch” program (which, upon calling the hotel, doesn’t seem to exist anymore), “They’ll love hobnobbing with the elite dogs who make their rounds at the park at Rittenhouse Square – not to mention devouring a doggie bag outside of the adjacent Stephen Starr’s restaurant Parc Bistro & Café.” So, no beds or bowls, apparently, but you can’t argue with proximity to Rittenhouse and its fancy dogs.
