Kimpton The Forum Hotel is rewriting the hospitality playbook with the launch of "The Pawliment". Inspired by the spirit of the Ancient Greek Forum, a place where voices were heard and community gathered, this unique signature experience recognizes pet companions as fully-seated members of the traveling party. The Pawliment is our signature pet program designed to make traveling with your companion effortless and elevated.
It doesn't matter if your extra family member is furry, feathery or scaly. It's okay by us, and there is no extra charge -- no matter their size, weight or breed. We not only allow dogs, cats, and other pets at our Charlottesville hotel, we prioritize an upscale experience for both humans and their animal companions. You’ll never see extra cleaning charges or pet deposits at The Forum as we endeavor to make pet-inclusive travel entirely effortless.
