Hotel rooms for Tall Travellers in the USA

At least one hotel group has recognised the problems faced by we tall travellers. The Hotel Monaco chain (part of Kimpton hotels) has a special range of "Tall Rooms" at sites in some large American cities.

They claim to have "longer beds, higher ceilings and doorframes, extra long bathrobes or raised showerheads, vanities and toilets". Next time I'm over there, I'll give them a try. But how is it that only one hotel chain in the world (as far as I can discover) does this? Over 15% of males, and 1% of females in Europe and the US are taller than six feet. Isn't that a market worth pursuing?
