[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it's not a cost issue, can you book them a nice hotel suite with living room + 2 separate rooms?  That way everyone has privacy AND you get quiet meeting space.[/quote]

I can, but that's not what he has requested--he sent me the link to the house he wants to book so he's done his research.  My question is, keeping in mind that I have a great relationship with my boss and he's a cool guy, is it worth me bringing this up to him, even though the woman hasn't expressed any ill feelings towards the arrangement?  Or, just keep my mouth shut and let her fend for herself if she's uncomfortable?  I don't want to overstep my bounds but I want to look out for my fellow female in the event she feels uncomfortable with it but doesn't want to rock the boat as the new girl.  My boss is a great guy but he's so laid-back (think tech start-up attitude) and I don't think he is looking at this from her view as a woman at all.  I'm also not sure how her husband feels about this but I'm not going there with my boss--that's her business.[/quote]

No shade, but what kind of place do you work that you are afraid to say something to your boss about something like this?  My boss would be thankful because, as a man, he would not automatically see things from a woman's perspective.  He would see me as saving him a potentially big headache down the line - not me "over stepping" my bounds.  [/quote]

You are right--I'll just mention it.  I didn't want to get involved and cause an issue where there wasn't one.  But it seems clear from these responses that I'm not alone in thinking this may be uncomfortable.   [/quote]

My boss is a great guy and would totally not think of the woman’s perspective in this. I’d absolutely call him out on it, just like I do when I need to reign him in from a PR nightmare. [/quote]
