Dog-friendly policy and check-in program at all of its hotels in North America.

Canopy by Hilton is announcing “Paws in the Neighborhood,” a new dog-friendly policy and check-in program at all of its hotels in North America.

Just as their owners will be treated to a local welcome amenity upon check-in, so will the dogs, who will receive a Paws in the Neighborhood Cinch Pack, a Planet Dog Orbee ball, house-made or locally sourced dog treat, a dispenser with pickup bags, as well as a dog’s guide to the neighborhood highlighting parks, vets, groomers, pet supply stores, and dog-friendly restaurants.

Guests rooms (called Just-Right rooms) will also be prepped before arrival to include a dog bed, and food and water bowls. Fleece-line collars and leashes from Planet Dog's best-selling hemp line will be available on loan. To bring the experience home, every Canopy guest will be given a promo code for 20 percent savings every time they shop with Planet Dog.

“We’ve found that in recent years, more people are choosing to travel with their dogs than ever before and why not?” said Gary Steffen, global head of Canopy by Hilton. “Dogs are part of the family and travelers consider their needs as much as their own when choosing a place to stay.”

This is the second Canopy property to open since Hilton announced the brand in 2014 as a “natural extension” of the hotel’s neighborhood. The first Canopy hotel debuted in Reykjavik last year, and Hilton has announced plans for 16 more to open over the next two years, at locations in Rockville, Maryland; Portland, Oregon; Dallas; Ithaca, New York; London; Minneapolis; Oklahoma City; Atlanta; Toronto; San Antonio; West Palm Beach; Charlotte; Baltimore; Columbus, Ohio; and Hangzhou, China.

Christmas Decorations in Slovenia

The creation of nativity scenes is a tradition in Slovenia that dates back several hundred years. Though the creation of nativity scenes to display in the home is common, live publicly viewable nativity scenes have grown in popularity. The best-known live nativity scenes are those in Postojna Cave and at Ljubljana's Franciscan Church on Prešeren Square. Christmas trees are decorated in Slovenia, more often now with purchased decorations than with homemade decorations like in olden times. Evergreen decorations and wreaths are also seen in Slovenia during Christmas time. Santa Claus in Slovenia Slovenia's Santa Claus tradition pulls from many other European traditions. Children in Slovenia can receive gifts from St. Nicholas, Baby Jesus, Santa Claus, or Grandfather Frost. St. Nicholas visits on St. Nicholas Day, December 6. Santa Claus or Baby Jesus visits on Christmas, and Grandfather or Father Frost may appear at the New Year. Other Christmas Tr...

Italian Village Wants to Pay You to Move There

Bormida, a mountain village with a population of just 394, is weighing a plan to offer €2000 ($2,186) to people who transfer their residence there. And once you're there, you can pay as little as €50 ($55) in rent each month for a small place to live. For a larger place, rent would cost €120 ($131). The population of Bormida has been dwindling lately, and the town's mayor, Daniele Galliano, proposed the idea as a way to keep the town going. Galliano posted on Facebook about the plan, emphasizing it's still just that: a plan, and nothing is set in stone. The cheap rent part will be ready in about two months, but the cash bonus is still just an idea he's been floating around, The Independent notes. But because the media frenzy is so crazy now, he joked that he'll have to learn English. Of course, you'd still have to find a job if you mov...
