With an eye on business, this sleek hotel in London's City has everything the workaholic needs to feel right at home—chic bedrooms subtly decorated in creams and chocolates, modern furnishings, plenty of space (by London standards), broadband and direct-dial phones, and more. The women-only wing has extra amenities ranging from more powerful hair dryers to extra-secure doors with peepholes and chain locks. Ladies (and gentlemen) can exercise in the hotel's magnificent columned swimming pool, and then linger over sushi at the Koto Japanese Restaurant or sip cocktails in the Isis Lounge. Pros: good-size rooms; very safe for female travelers. Cons: city location is a bit off the tourist track.
