What Is a Boutique Hotel?

While the term ’boutique hotel’ remains fluid in its definition, certain hallmarks distinguish these establishments. Foremost, size matters. Boutique hotels prioritize intimacy, often boasting a limited number of rooms, sometimes as few as three. Design takes center stage, with each establishment showcasing a unique aesthetic that separates it from the rest. Additionally, the hallmark of a true boutique hotel is its independence โ€“ these hotels stand apart, not affiliated with larger hotel chains. Above all, boutique hotels are steeped in character, often rooted in a compelling narrative or legacy, ensuring a stay that’s as memorable as it is comfortable.
