<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6929/omnisanfran.jpg" class="top"> Girls like shopping! Girls like martinis! Girls like getting together with their girlfriends to gossip and eat yogurt and paint their toenails and discuss celebrities! Well, according to hotel package promoters, anyway and it's no secret that the floods of Girlfriend Getaway packages hitting the hotel market make us roll our eyes more often than not. But this one's not so bad especially since we don't really have any money to buy clothes right now (hello recession!), and we actually do need to go shopping. <A href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/omni hotels">Omni Hotels</a> is now offering "Retail Therapy," a package with us in mind a girlfriend getaway for you and your chickies that offers decent freebies and some

We will never stop making fun of these silly <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/girlfriend getaways">girlfriend getaway</a> hotel packages. In fact, we'd like to take this opportunity to encourage Sarah Haskins, the brilliantly funny lady behind the hilarious <a href="http://current.com/sarah-haskins/">Target Women</a> videos, to do a "Target Women" segment on hotel packages. That is, make fun of those silly girlfriend getaway packagey-things that are made up of what some hotel believes will appeal to women (gossip magazines! Manicures! Shopping!) Um, that's not to say we wouldn't secretly go and book these packages ourselves if they happened to appeal to us. What? Some of us like manicures and Us Weekly. Whatever. So, here's another from the vast and

New York: Ritz Battery Park's Bachelorette Party Doesn't Include a Stripper

The Liberty Suite; your Bachelorette Party digs.

So, your BFF asked you to be a bridesmaid at her wedding and has designated you as the Official Bachelorette Party Planner (which, let's face it, is usually better than the Official Invitation Stuffer or the Official Keeper of the Dress — you're lucky she has sisters). But you're not quite sure what she wants, where she wants to go, how much booze she wants involved and how raunchy she wants things to get.

Solution: you can never, ever go wrong with going luxe. And believe it or not, Ritz-Carlton Battery Park actually offers an all-inclusive Bachelorette Party package (who knew, right?)

But if more places start taking the cue of <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Divi+Little+Bay+Beach+Resort/ian/198973">Little Bay Beach Resort</a> in St. Maarten, we may have to reconsider. Rather than cheesy add-ons, Little Bays <a href="http://www.divilittlebay.com/DiviLittleBay/little-bay-special-offers.html">girlfriend getaway package</a> sounds like a good deal, plain and simple. The five-night stay costs just $585 per person and includes breakfast daily, a $100 spa treatment, a $50 jewelry store gift certificate, and a $100 boat trip over to St. Barths. Groups who want to upgrade from the standard hotel room can
