Tamani Hotel Marina Knows Women Want Soft Blankets

Go To The Hotel's Web Site Where: Dubai Marina, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 215855

Setting aside women only floors is definitely a current trend in hotels across the world. We're wondering why men aren't agitating for some men-only floors, although we hate to think what they'd do there. In any case, the latest bandwagon joiner is the Tamani Hotel Marina in Dubai which has made its 29th floor available for women only:

The idea of having a Ladies Only floor is to ensure that our female guests feel as relaxed and secure as they would in their own home  -  with the added attraction of first-class service with an authentic Arabian flavour.

Sorry Men: Ladies Only at One Floor of Naumi, Singapore

Go To The Hotel's Web Site Where: 41 Seah Street, Singapore, Singapore, 188396

With plenty of women here at HotelChatter, we're not afraid of a women-only floor in a hotel: we embrace it. Thumbs up to Singapore's boutique Naumi Hotel who recently launched their dedicated ladies-only floor, saying they're giving travelin' gals "a sense of security and privacy in luxurious surroundings".

Most of the guests on the women's floor are either businesswomen or shoppers, and it's been 80% full since it opened. As well as men being banned from this zone, there are a few treats for the women who stay here including:

In-room cosmetics such as make-up remover, toner and aromatherapy products from all-natural Australian brand Aesop and pink and gray flowery wallpaper.

Sounds good to us. Naumi currently has a City Escapes rate of S$290 (just over US$200) a night--that's valid whether you're on the ladies-only floor or not, so no complaints please, men. Oh, and by the way: it's got an infinity pool you could really get to love.

No Boys Allowed :: A Ladies-Only Floor in Manhattan?

Go To The Hotel's Web Site Where: 133 West 44th Street [map], New York, NY, United States, 10036

The Premier Hotel (formerly the Premier at Millenium Broadway) has reopened in Times Square with a new feature: a women's floor.

For realsies. Travel Weekly has the scoop:

The 125-room Premier now has a floor exclusively for women. Accessible only with an elevator key card, the floor has seven rooms with yoga mats; plush robes and slippers; a lighted make-up mirror, wash mitts and bath salts in bathrooms; and women's magazines.

Ah, yes, yoga: the official sport of women!

This seems scary to us because the last time we experienced a floor full of women was in our college sorority house, but we survived the ordeal. So we're willing to admit that a women-only hotel floor in a super-busy American city may actually be a fantastic concept.

If a ladies-only floor can be executed tastefully -- and not full of pink crap or cutesy pictures of stilettos and lipstick and martini glasses -- we think this sort of thing is perfect for solo female travelers who might be interested in a little added safety.

Thanks CourtneyMay for the heads-up!

Ladies Floor First

Where: 41 Fleming Road, Hong Kong, Wan Chai, China
February 6, 2007 at 2:22 PM | by juliana | 0 Comments

There's Outer Space, MySpace and now Her Space.

We've written about the Eva Floors in India and the women-only floors in Zurich. And recently the Fleming Hotel in Hong Kong launched an all-female floor for women business and leisure travelers called Her Space.

The rooms on this floor all have fresh flowers, aroma oil , "supersoft" and furry cushions, silk draperies, extra pillows and a fur rug. As for amenities, the hotel adds a jewelry box, a leg massage machine and a facial steamer along with L'Occitane toiletries, a nail file, feminine products and hair clips.

Not to be forgotten is the in-room mini-bar which instead of being stocked with chocolate is filled with healthy alternatives like herbal teas and healthy snacks. Yoga mats are offered as well and a day pass to the California Fitness Center near the hotel is given to all hotel guests.

But aside from all this femininity, the real draw for women is that all floors of the hotel can only be accessed by your room key.

'Eva' Floors In India

Where: India
June 23, 2005 at 2:54 PM | by juliana | 0 Comments

Nah, not that Eva. She is a nervous wreck somewhere along the Riverwalk in San Antonio. The type of Eva floors we are talkin' about are in India.

'Cuz India is jumpin', jumpin', jumpin'.

Actually it's not really jumpin' but India has become more safer for single ladies to travel to since hotels there have been offering exclusive women-only floors.

The ITC group, which has 66 hotels in 50 Indian destinations designed the floors and rooms with keeping women safe and comfortable in mind.

Seven hotels have currently been outfitted with the 'Eva Floors', as they are called.

At the ITC Grand Central Sheraton and Towers in Mumbai's financial district, there are two "Eva" floors, one for smokers and one for non-smokers. Eva Floor Details Post Break

No Men Allowed...

...on the top two floors.

Lady's First design hotel is definitely unique. Minimalist chic with a conscience.

Their philosophy is to "create a special 'joy of life' atmosphere in our attitude" and make an effort to give part-time jobs to unemployed women in need.

The 19th century house was renovated by architect Pia Schmid and has the top floors reserved for women only. This includes the massage, wellness, and cosmetic areas.

Though it is housed in a former boarding house for women, the hotel is now a designer heaven: large corridors with wooden floors give onto 28 bedrooms, with different colour doors. The rooms are minimalistically chic, with duvets on the beds and better than average products in the bathroom, including a rather nice body lotion." —Guardian
