Here's a Delhi hotel that serves women-only treat

The Leela Palace hotel, New Delhi, will offer 'Kamal package' to women travellers to ensure they feel safe.A top Delhi hotel is all set to launch special package deals for its female clients.

The move is an effort to win back tourists, especially women and foreigners, and ensure their safety in the Capital, which has unfortunately become notorious for increased cases of sexual violence against women.

The Leela Palace hotel, New Delhi, will soon be offering Kamal (lotus) package for single women travellers to make them feel safe while on their trip to New Delhi. The package includes complimentary pick-up and drop from and to airport with "trusted" drivers to women tour guides for guests.

Kamal guests at the Leela Palace will be given a female-only floor, with all-women check-in staff, concierge, housekeeping staff and butlers. The special package guests will also have access to a private or all-female spa. The hotel will ensure security cameras in all corridors, stair cases and any other public place. The footage on these cameras will be monitored at all times. Kamal package will be available across all rooms from the basic to its deluxe Maharaja suite that comes with a pool. The special women package will be launched by Leela on September 15.

Repeated incidents of violence against women in the country have affected tourism. Foreigners, especially, seem to be apprehensive about visiting the country. Delhi, particularly, has seen a splurge in rape cases being reported.

The Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative had, in fact, stated that one rape occurs every 30 minutes in India. With increasing reports of such cases, the UK foreign office cautions all female tourists to avoid public transport in India, especially after dark, and, instead, hire taxis through their respective hotels.

"British women have been victims of sexual assault in Goa, Delhi, Bangalore and Rajasthan. Women travellers often receive unwanted attention in the form of verbal and physical harassment," the foreign office warns. "Serious sexual attacks involving Polish, German and Danish women travellers have been reported so far in 2014. Women travellers should exercise caution when travelling in India, even if they are travelling in a group," it added.
