A recent Hilton Garden Inn survey conducted by Opinion Research Corp. revealed that female Business Travelers enjoy hotel perks most when traveling for work. Specifically, Women enjoyed having someone clean up after them (71% vs. 58% for men) along with having breakfast prepared for them (62% vs. 49% for men). The majority of women also appreciated having a bed to themselves for the night (51% vs. 37% for men).

Regardless of the reasons for the findings, it would be smart of hotels that cater to Women Business Travelers to take note.
