If you think you pamper your pet too much, you've got nothing on this guy.

This pet sea lion made a few waves on on its birthday as it was treated to a two night stay at a five star hotel complex.

The son of Wang Jianlin - one of China's super-rich - wanted to give his beloved sea creature some real glamour.

So he pulled out all the stops and booked out the whole establishment.

The sea lion was given the run of the premises at the popular Ocean Spring Hotel, in coastal Qingdao City.

Stunned employees at the glizy resort were quick to reach for their cameras and snap the bizarre couple.

Like Toni and Andre, from the 1994 film, the pair appear to have an inseparable bond as they sit together on classy sun loungers.

Its owner, reportedly in his 30s, even arranged for kitchen staff to prepare a giant feast for his sea lion buddy.

He was pictured feeding his pet delicacies from a tray of sausage and veg, as a delighted chef looks on.

Later, the sea lion takes a dip in the pool - hopefully he waited an hour after eating his delicious fishy buffet.

The little guy was having so much fun that he refused to get out of the pool.

Luckily the hotel was not busy, as families might have had something to say about going for a dip with a fully grown sea lion.

Chinese people who splash large amounts of cash on unorthodox or sometimes illogical luxuries are known as "tuhao", which translates to "tacky rich".
