Follow UK Investment Immigration and Life in the UK: A brand new luxury cat hotel will open next month in West Yorkshire, UK. This sounds quite unusual, but it is not the first five-star hotel dedicated to cats.
In December of this year, the Ings Luxury Cat Hotel in West Yorkshire, UK, will begin operations, offering a range of luxurious services for cats. This is sure to provoke jealousy among those tourists staying in shabby little inns.
Each room in the Ings Hotel boasts stunning panoramic views, underfloor heating, and custom four-poster beds, along with ornate glass crystal balls and the softest all-cotton bedding (including goose down cushions). Entertainment facilities include flat-screen TVs that can play their favorite DVD films, such as looping images of aquariums or butterfly meadows. There is also a tailored menu featuring dishes like organic butter-seared sea bass and steamed shrimp. Of course, good things come at a price. The ultra-large family suite costs £15 per day (approximately 150 RMB), while the Woodland Wing suite claims to be the "largest room in the country" (compared to other cat accommodations), with a daily rate of up to £40 (approximately 400 RMB).
While the Ings Hotel may be one of the most luxurious cat hotels, it is not the first. The world's first cat hotel, the Longcroft Luxury Cat Hotel, opened in 2010 in Wellingborough, Scotland. It has since opened two new branches, offering even more comprehensive services. Rooms feature wrought iron beds, soft pillows, and custom meals served on bone china, with prices ranging from £17 to £45 (approximately 170 to 450 RMB).
Located in Lewes, UK, the Balneath Wood Boutique Cat Hotel offers upscale suites suitable for larger cats and two penthouse suites, complete with down comforters. There is also a range of spa services, such as nail trimming and microchip implantation.
However, when you see how cat owners lavish money on their beloved pets, you may not find such hotels to be overly extravagant. Renowned fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld takes his beloved cat Choupette with him wherever he goes, even providing a cat nanny on his private jet.
