Charming, unique, chic, quaint and intimate are adjectives that travel agents use when they define boutique hotels for clients. A true boutique hotel should seamlessly blend into the destination, embracing the local style, culture and architecture. Look for hotels that are not invasive of where they are, and really, for hotels that have a philosophy of being ambassadors of their destinations.
A quintessential boutique hotel in Paris is the Esprit St. Germain on the Left Bank. The property is owned by a charming French woman whom guests get to know during their stay. Each room is uniquely decorated, cordials and liquors are put out for guets' enjoyment. The end result is that the hotel serves an extension of the Paris travel experience.
Boutique Hotels command a high level of service and a low room count. You can find them all over big cities, in many countries. When a client walks through the door they're not classified by a number, but by
their name. The staff knows and understands their likes and dislikes and service is tailored to their every need.
Not all boutique hotels are created equal, not all clients are good matches for these type of properties and it has nothing to do with age. A laid-back client who is interested in intimacy and little personal touches, those who want charm would do well at a boutique hotel.
Miami Beach Marlin Hotel is an Art Deco masterpiece and would qualify as a Boutique Hotel. The ultra-luxury Bulgari Hotel in Milan has the ability to showcase the destination in a positive light as an example. It is indicative of the area and you feel like you're taking part in the culture. Even the music in the restaurant is memorable.
Boutique hotels are usually in great shopping and tourist areas, but are generally located in the quieter back streets.
Work with trustworthy partners to find that Boutique Hotel that will fit your personality. I think that if you are looking for that special experience than with the right choice a boutique hotel can offer that to you.
