If you’re swinging by QT Melbourne for a drink on the rooftop, you might notice an adorable new addition roaming the halls. Say hello to Russell, a 20-month-old Blonde Labrador Retriever. QT Melbourne has partnered up with Guide Dogs Victoria to provide their first-ever Wellbeing Dog-cierge. Russell trained extensively with Guide Dogs Victoria to help those with low vision or blindness. But he was just so affectionate and playful, that he was better off in a wellbeing role instead! He will officially begin on February 27, and he’ll greet guests, lead morning walks and spread joy. To celebrate, there’s a number of dog-friendly experiences to try at QT Melbourne, with the proceeds going towards Guide Dogs Victoria.
QT Melbourne x Guide Dogs Victoria experiences
Pups & Poses on Rooftop at QT
Have you ever tried puppy yoga? QT Melbourne has partnered up with Soflo Studios to present this relaxing and adorable experience. Try your best to unwind with yoga, while puppies-in-training from Guide Dogs Victoria play, cuddle and nap on you and around you. Classes will run on a monthly basis, subject to puppy availability, and there will be a limited amount of ticket drops available on QT Melbourne’s Instagram story.
Puppacinos at Deli QT
Ducking in for a panini or pastry from Deli QT? This lobby-side sandwich bar is also serving up puppacinos, so your doggo can enjoy a morning coffee too. Deli QT is open from Monday to Saturday, 8am to 3pm.
PupYeah! Staycations
Stay overnight at the hotel with your furry friend. If your doggo is under 20 kilos, they can join you for a fun staycation. There’s a bed for them to sleep in, as well as a mini bar filled with treats. Order something from the in-room dog-friendly dinner menu, and book them in for a grooming session if you’re feeling fancy.
