In advance of Halloween this year, Kimpton Hotel Monaco Philadelphia invites locals and hotel guests alike to its second annual “Pupkin Pawty” costume contest and Halloween celebration on October 29 from 4:00 – 6:00 pm. In partnership with local animal rescue Morris Animal Refuge, the hotel will be hosting a Halloween costume contest and encourages pets and their humans to dress up in their spookiest, silliest and most creative costumes for a chance to win a one-night staycation at the Hotel Monaco valued at $700, complete with fun additions like a custom dog bandana, pet care kit and 10% off walking services through Wag! Admission is $5 to enter the costume contest and benefits Morris Animal Refuge.
In addition to the costume contest, Morris Animal Refuge will bring adoptable four-legged friends to the event, local pet shop Doggie Style Pets will be setting up a treat bar for well-behaved pups, and Caricatures by Emily will be offering caricatures of the pups.
As with all Kimpton hotels, Kimpton Hotel Monaco opens its doors to any and all pets. 100% pet-friendly with no size, breed or species restrictions or deposit required, Kimpton Monaco is a top choice for pet-owners in the City of Brotherly Love.
