Everyone loves a little pampering from time to time and who doesn’t love it when everything you want is at your fingertips? Hotels.com has selected the best hotels designed with women in mind - from baths full of hot chocolate to a man-free zone, these hotels will cater for your every whim.

Whatever you need taken care of

If you are after some serious ‘me’ time, this hotel is the perfect choice. The W Court Hotel in New York is a trendy, boutique hotel on a tree-lined street between Park and Lexington Avenues. The spa offers indulgent massages, pedicures and manicures, and in case you forget anything, each room has an “emergency kit” which contains lip-gloss, eye shadow, mascara and perfume. If that doesn’t solve the problem, the hotel offers a Whatever/Whenever service meaning it can accommodate any request, within legal reason, from a bathtub filled with hot chocolate to the loan of an Diane von Fürstenberg dress.

Men free zone!

Gourmet French and Scandinavian cuisine is served at the Julius Fritzner restaurant and the Etoile Bar has an outdoor terrace with stunning panoramic views of the city.

Built in 1910 by King Alfonso Xlll as a statement of grandeur and wealth, The Ritz is in the centre of historic Madrid, opposite the Prado Museum and between La Lealtad Square and Neptune's Fountain.

The bathrooms feature heated mirrors that are steam resistant, and the showers have ledges to make shaving your legs a little easier.

In room yoga
