Artemisia is West Berlin s 1st hotel for women byed Reavis staff writer what do authors Virginia Woolf and Marilyn French have in common Wilh George Bernhard Shaw s character Eliza do Olillie All three professed to want a woman s French who borrowed the title of her Book the women s room from Woolf described a women s room As a place of Refuge a Retreat where a woman can be alone Wilh her thoughts. Doolittle dwelt on similar thoughts in her song would t it be loverly. The same Basic philosophy has led to the opening of a hotel for women in West Berlin the artemisia. It s the first of its kind in the cily just a Short walk off Berlin s main Boulevard the Kurfurst Tendam. Manuela Polidori one of four owners says the artemisia actually was the first hotel of its Type in Europe though others have since opened in London and the West German town of Schleswig. The four women also run a women s travel office Frauen Unte Wegs Frailey risen of Berlin and Polidori says clients often asked them to recommend a Good hotel for women. That s How the idea was born Polidori says. In the United Stales there Are Yucas and women s floors in Many hotels but As i be heard the reason is because so Many rapes and other crimes against women occur in . Hotels. Thai s not a problem Here in Germany she says. The idea Here was to have a place where women can relax and be among themselves. There s a lot of self imposed stress on women that does t Slop at hotel doors. Women feel they can t let their guard Down Polidori says women often feel that they can t leave their hotel rooms to go to the lobby or bar or breakfast room unless they arc dressed to the nines a result of silly Competition with other women for men s attention. Here they can relax. Many of our customers Tell me they feel like they re at Home the hotel is also a cultural communication Center Polidori says with changing Art exhibits in the Halls and lobby readings and other events. The rooms Are dedicated to notable women who lived in Berlin artists writers an atomic physicist women s suffragists and Are decorated with documents and pictures from their lives. Customers Range in age from 20 to 80, Polidori says and represent a Cross Section of professions. American tourists and journalists Are frequent guests she adds. Polidori says the City gave the partners a few headaches at first claiming for instance that granting a permit for a hotel for women would be supporting discrimination against men. We were forced to install a men s room she says. It Cost us an unnecessary $6,000. There arc four hotels in town for men Only i d like to know if they had to install women s the hotel is located in the fourth and fifth floors of an old Berlin House at Brandenbur Gische Strasse 18. The Telephone number is 030-878905 or 876373. Manuela Polidori at the reception desk of the artemisia a hotel for women in West Berlin. August 31,1389 Tripet Magazine 21
