It features bespoke pet furniture inspired by Molteni chaise longues, fabrics that resist stains and odors from Lanificio Ermenegildo Zegna, humidity-controlling plants, and a soothing 432Hz sound environment. Additional amenities include eco-leather tatami mats, gourmet dog meals in ceramic bowls, a digital concierge for pet-friendly spots like Parco Sempione, around-the-clock veterinary care, and custom dog coats crafted from Zegna materials.
