With Election Day approaching, Aloft Hotels is helping Americans de-stress with its “No Watch Pawties,” hosted in major cities across the country on November 5. As election anxiety peaks, these events in New York City, Austin, Orlando, Atlanta, and Milwaukee invite both hotel guests and locals to cuddle with puppies from local shelters and escape the news cycle.
Partnering with local animal shelters, Aloft’s “No Watch Pawties” are free and open to all, allowing attendees to enjoy puppy playtime, a dog-led meditation video, and affirmations like, “I am PAW-some!” The gatherings will also feature specialty drinks and light bites at Aloft’s W xyz® bar, with a complete ban on Election Day coverage to create a tranquil setting.
Aloft Hotels, part of Marriott Bonvoy, extends its pet-friendly amenities through the ArfSM (Animals R Fun) program, offering dog beds, water bowls, and toys for four-legged travelers. For those who can’t attend, Aloft has also released a calming, 1-minute dog-led meditation video online for a moment of virtual puppy comfort.
