This separation is tangibly manifested in the recently erected wall in places that employ both men and women, a feat possible by a law passed in 2011 allowing Saudi women to work in lingerie shops in order to lower female unemployment rates. The public views the 1.6 meter wall favorably, saying that it will lead to less instances of harassment by men visiting the expatriate women in the shops. The Luthan hotel in Saudi Arabia was the country's first women's only hotel, acting more as a vacation spot for women than a mandated segregated institution. Upon entering the hotel, women are allowed to remove their headscarves and abayas and the hotel employs only women, calling their bellhops the world's first bellgirls, providing opportunities for Saudi women in IT and engineering jobs where, outside the Luthan, are quite scarce.

Work weeks vary by hotel as well, with most hotels having a full-time auditor working five nights a week (typically Sunday through Thursday) and a separate part-time auditor working the other two nights a week (Friday and Saturday). In larger hotels, night auditors may work alongside other nighttime employees such as the night manager, hotel security guards, night porters, telephone attendants, room-service attendants, and bellhops. Some larger hotels have multiple night auditors, while in smaller hotels and motels, the night auditor may work alone or be "on-call", meaning that once he or she completes running the daily reports, the auditor retires to an area away from the desk but remains available to attend to unexpected requests from guests. In the smallest hotels and some bed and breakfast establishments, the front desk may close entirely overnight.
