You can teach an old dog new tricks—a fact the owners of Adrift Hotel in Long Beach, Washington, have demonstrated by transforming a weather-beaten beach hotel into a stylish and comfortable pet-friendly lodge with a decidedly European flair. This smart renovation relies heavily on reclaimed and sustainable materials to make green the theme and create an unpretentious environment that’s livable, comfortable, spotresistant, and oh-so-beachy. From Adrift’s front door, you and your k-9 travelers have more miles of beach, boardwalk or trail than you can possibly walk. If it’s civilization you crave, Adrift is only a few blocks from a heart-of-town stroll and close to some of the peninsula’s best dining choices. Seasonal specials offer exceptional value through June 15. Your four-legged best friend checks in for only a $15 fee. www.adrifthotel.com.
