Places to Stay

Find a locally owned, women-friendly place to stay here

How this works: This is a free to use, in service to women seeking recommended accommodations.To do this, we need your help. Share your recommendations. Invite other women to participate. Help us build this into a trusted place to find and share women-friendly places to stay around the world.

1. To find a place to stay, use the bar on the left to search by city, state/province or country. You will need to select the country first before seeing the available cities. If the city isn’t listed that means it hasn’t been populated yet, so we need your recommendations! The more we have the better this is!

2. To add a recommended accommodation, use the green button below. To submit a place to stay, you must agree that it is not your own or one you have a financial interest in. All listings must be available on a third-party booking platform (eg Airbnb, Booking.com, TripAdvisor, Trusted Housesitters, etc) so that women can review the details, including safety and accessibility information. Private or residential listings are not accepted. All listings will be reviewed and ownership checked prior to publishing the listing. Our goal is to have new listings up within 72 hours, assuming all information has been provided on the form.

3. Sponsored listings: Those listings with a pink background are paid listings from our partners, who have undergone a verification process and help us offer this service at no charge to you. Advertisers are invited to join our directory here.

Disclaimer: This is provided as a service to women. We are not involved in the booking process, nor do we accept responsibility for any issues that may arise. We welcome your feedback at [email protected].

A gothic, cozy double room at La Casa del Maestro in Seville, Spain, recommended by a JourneyWoman reader as a safe place for women to stay.

La Casa del Maestro

Submitted by: Carolyn

I stayed here during Semana Santa in April 2024. It was the perfect place to see the neighbourhood processions and just a short walk to the Cathedral. There is no restaurant but there is a small breakfast area. Also no elevator but only two flights up max.

Mercure Sirkeci Istanbul

Submitted by: Joanne

I stayed alone for two nights at this hotel before joining a tour and felt very safe and comfortable. The employees are helpful and welcoming. The front desk clerk gave me a free Istanbul public transit card and they offered to walk me to my next hotel and carry my luggage without me asking. Close to everything in Old town. Ferry, tram, famous mosques and attractions, ATMs, restaurants and Grand Bazaar. Ideal location. My room was large and had amazing views. Very quiet.

A simple room at the Movenpick Zurich Airport hotel in Switzerland, recommended as a safe place for women to stay.

Movenpick Zurich Airport

Easy and free shuttle bus from Zurich airport to the hotel, Can’t say it was my favourite hotel but it worked for a jetlagged journeyer. The restaurant was good (but expensive). Ask for a room away from the highway, and make sure your hairdryer works!

Banff Springs Hotel (Fairmont)

Submitted by: Carolyn

One of the most beautiful and iconic hotels in Canada and the best place to stay in Banff. This historic hotel is just a short walk into Banff, and every room is stunning. So very pretty! And of course it’s a Fairmont, so you can’t go wrong!

Philippos Athens

Philippos Hotel

Submitted by: Teri

We were looking for a small, family-run hotel near the Acropolis for our short extended stay in Athens. Our Greek bicycle tour guide recommended this hotel. We loved the location, easy to walk to many different areas, get to the train, grab a cab, and lots of dining options. We felt safe walking at night and were always welcomed back to the hotel like we were family.
