In a first-of-its-kind twist on hotel check-in, GCSTIMES has unveiled pet-themed, puzzle-style wooden key cards that turn an everyday item into a memorable guest experience. Designed for hotels catering to the growing market of pet-friendly travelers, the new key cards offer a unique blend of functionality, sustainability, and guest delight.
Upon check-in, guests receive a beautifully crafted, paw-shaped wooden key card. At its center lies a detachable piece in the shape of a dog’s head, which can be engraved with the pet’s name. Once detached, the piece becomes a custom pet tag that attaches to a complimentary collar provided at reception.
The result is a three-step journey for guests with pets:
- Check-In Surprise: Receive a paw-shaped, sustainable wooden key card.
- Personalized Reveal: Snap off the centerpiece to create a custom pet tag.
- Peace of Mind: Attach the tag to the complimentary collar, ensuring pets carry identification throughout their stay.
The innovation aligns with two key trends reshaping the hospitality industry: the rapid expansion of pet-friendly travel and the demand for eco-conscious alternatives. Nowadays, more travelers than ever are bringing pets along, and hotels are increasingly tailoring services to welcome them.
