London: West End Girls, London's Got a Hotel For You

Heidi Atwal — 2011-12-13T16:00:01-05:00

Following in the footsteps of Copenhagen's Bella Sky Comwell, who devised an all-female floor to cater to XX chromosome guests, another hotel is stepping things up for the ladies, this time in London. The Dukes Hotel has anointed some of its suites "Duchess Rooms," themed to attract women clientele.

While this kind of marketing ploy was recently ruled illegal in the Danish capital, London is willfully flaunting notions of political correctness by providing a package of clich�d feminine perks to "tempt single female travelers or groups of women," according to the NY Daily News.

Oooo! Would it be filled with our favorite things? Would the OWN network be playing on loop? Would there be a blow-up Stedman doll to fight over?Sadly, no. The theme room is really just a girlfriend getaway package that includes a No Boyz Allowed door sign, some magazines in the room and list of things that girlfriends can do in Miami. There's not even a Moscow

Yet we've found a more affordable way to indulge in our gearhead fantasies--spending the night at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/V8+Hotel+im+Meilenwerk+Stuttgart/local/4710">V8 Hotel</a> in Germany's Meilenwerk Stuttgart, an international hub for car dealers.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/lightningmcqueencar.jpg" class="top"> The <a href="http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/hotels/?sortBy=nG:hasResortCategoryFacet&fv_78175=on">themed resorts</a> at Disney World in Orlando are a little bit cheesey, but they do offer a close stay to the park for a good value. However, we think their plans for a new hotel near the Pop Century Resort is brilliant. <a href="http://orlando.bizjournals.com/orlando/stories/2010/05/10/daily21.html">Orlando Biz Journal</a> reports:<blockquote> Disneys Art of Animation Resort expected to open in 2012 will feature more than 1,100 suites with room for up to six people, plus 900 regular hotel rooms. The resort will include wings based on the popular Disney films Cars, Finding Nemo, The Lion King and The Little Mermaid.</blockquote>Do you know how crazy little kids go over "Cars"? Can you imagine if you tell them they
