Creating a new structure to anchor the Site affectionately called the “HUB” for all guest experiences on and off the sanctuary. It is the epicenter of converging activities that are filled with energy, excitement, and education of how to “save them all” and achieve the no kill by 2025 mission. We space is optimized so it can accomodate the many needs Best Friends has: By day it’s a combination of retail space and lounging nooks for guests and their pets, by night, it can transform into a restaurant, bar, or event space. Because this space was so mutable, and store bought furniture would not do, we designed, fabricated, and installed the tables, movable storage areas, and transformable merchandising walls.

And amenities galore you can order from the front desk ranging from CatNip Satchels, doggy play dates, afternoon walks, calming music, and other special treats only Best Friends can deliver.

The rooms themselves we believe are the world’s most Pet friendly rooms in the world. Attention is paid to every detail to make this the ultimate place to stay with your family pet, or companion from the sanctuary for the night. Space works twice as hard in these rooms; Pet Murphy beds fold out of the wall and beds at night so your pet can sleep in luxurious just like you! Front doors open in a way to allow fresh air in, and visibility out, but still offer a safespace that your pet can not get out. 

Splitting the Hotel in half, and creating a passageway to the back of the site that include a 2025 contemplative communal space, 300’ long mural inspired by special animals from Best Friends past, and a enclosed safe space for dogs to run free through their own splash pad, and ample shade to get away from the hot sun.
