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 clichéd feminine perks to "tempt single female travelers or groups of women," according to the NY Daily News.]]> Heidi Atwal 2011-12-13T16:00:01-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/11/18/19435/040

Twenty-First Century Betty Friedans looking for female-friendly lodgings on their next trip to Copenhagen would do well to stay at the Bella Sky Comwell. The hotel's Bella Donna floor is touted as the "first women-centered" project of its kind in the hotel world, and has been curated to appeal strictly to a ladylike demographic. We think Manhattan's The Pierre could learn a thing or two from these guys.

Just how successful are they? Well, that, of course, depends on your idea of femininity.]]> Heidi Atwal 2011-11-21T09:15:02-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2010/3/12/85041/6646

OK, so men are from Mars and women are from Venus. But do they want to stay at different hotels? We’ve seen plenty of girly hotel packages in our travels, but some properties go even further, with amenities geared towards women and in some cases, women only floors.

Our initial reaction is that this sounds a little too much like bitchy boarding school, but we can certainly see how this could make us feel safer in certain places. What do you think? Whether it’s for security or for the female-friendly extras, would you seek out a women-only hotel or women-only floor?
