German Hyatt Hotels Start Offering In-Room Beauty Services for the Ladies

For beauty-products-loving ladies, the FAA's 3-1-1 rule puts a serious crimp in their style. Not to mention that gadgets like hair dryers and straighteners take up a lot of precious luggage real estate. To help these style-seeking women out, German Hyatt hotels and the Park Hyatt Zurich are offering Hyatt for Her, a new in-room beauty service.

As part of Hyatt for Her, hotels offer a hair menu as well as a manicure-pedicure and blow-dry room service so you don't have to lug products and equipment with you when you travel but still get smashing results.

Kimpton Gives Women What They Want

We were pretty excited about the Kimpton Hotels range of robes--remember the giraffe? Neat ideas haven't stopped there, and it seems like Kimpton throws a lot of money and time into coming up with creative ideas that actually sound worthwhile for travelers. Of course, it might be that there's so much emphasis on doing even better than a giraffe robe that they forget to clean the rooms--no, we have no evidence of that, we're just wondering.

Anyhow, the latest swathe of new ideas all fit into Kimpton's Women InTouch plan, a bunch of ways in which the chain is "committed to women travelers".
