Return to main article

Here, six more women's packages.

The Wonder Women package at all US W Hotels (877/946-8357; www.whotels.com; doubles from $179) includes a Diane von Furstenberg makeup kit, a silk eye mask, and and an autographed copy of the book DVF—The Wrap. And guests who are staying at W's in San Francisco, Chicago, or New York can skip the wait lists at all three of the chain's newly opened Bliss spas.

In Paris, the Hotel Plaza Athenée (25 Ave. Montaigne; 33-1/53-67-66-67; www.plaza-athenee-paris.com; doubles from $850) has launched a Sex in the City Package that features a gift from Christian Dior, a red Plaza umbrella, and a cosmo at Le Bar—the location of the Sex in the City wrap party.

All six of Italy's Concerto Fine Italian Hotels, including the Grand Hotel Minerva on Piazza Santa Maria Novella, and the Villa la Vedetta, located at Piazzale Michelangelo, are offering a Travelling Ladies package (www.hotellondra.com; 39-055/238-531). Amenities vary from property to property, but range from a complimentary pair of black tights to free upgrades (when possible) to removing the room-service surcharges.

Active types can learn how to perfect their sailing skills at the You Can Sail! Escape Week for women in the South Seas Island resort in Captiva Island, Florida (800/221-4326; www.offshore-sailing.com; $1,795 for one week, including room and board; May 7-13, 2006). The fee covers tuition to the Offshore Sailing School, boating workshops, and accommodations at the South Seas Island Resort as well as a few complimentary cocktails.

La Posada de Santa Fe (330 E. Palace Ave., Santa Fe, N.M.; 866/331-7625; www.rockresorts.com; doubles from $745 for two nights) just launched a two-night Celebration of Women in the City Different package. (The City Different has been Santa Fe's unfortunate nickname since the turn of the century.) Each female guest gets a lavender relaxation massage, a bottle of champagne, two free museum passes to the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, and complimentary tapas to enjoy throughout the stay.

The two-night Girls! Girls! Girls! package at Mississippi's Alluvian Hotel (318 Howard St., Greenwood; 866/600-5201 or 662/453-2114; www.thealluvian.com; doubles from $1,000 for two nights; eight woman minimum) is an epicurean-themed stay. Activities revolve around classes at the Viking Cooking School but also include shopping in historic downtown Greenwood and five free treatments at the hotel's spa. The second night is a chocolate-themed pajama party where the chef at the Alluvian Terrace Room shares recipes, cooking techniques, and chocolate marbled fondue.

The Football Widow's Revenge at Florida's Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate (1500 Masters Blvd., ChampionsGate; 407/390-6664; www.omniorlandoresort.com; doubles from $500) gives female guests a reprieve from both men and sports while sampling Pan-Asian treats at Zen restaurant, lounging in a private poolside cabana, and indulging in massages or pedicures at the hotel's spa. The best part of the package? Guests who overdo it while shopping at the Mall at Millenia can take advantage of the resort's "hide the purchases" shipping service; your bags will be shipped directly to your home. —Sarah Kantrowitz
