•Why You ll Return To A Boutique Hotel
Any good hotel will attract return customers, but boutique hotels often have a higher return rate than others.
Once you’ve stayed in a boutique hotel, you’ll understand what all the fuss is about. For the same money as you can spend on a city-centre chain hotel, you can stay in an individual place where the design is intrinsic to the experience and where the service ensures that your stay is comfortable and relaxed. If you choose a boutique hotel once, the chances are you’ll book again for...

If you’ve never stayed in a boutique hotel before, here are some reasons why you should book one today.
There are so many cool hotels to stay in around the world that there’s almost certainly one at your next holiday destination. Why choose boutique?

•Hotels That Give A Little Bit Extra
A boutique hotel will often provide additional services that guests in large chain hotels won’t find.
One of the joys of staying in a boutique hotel is that a range of activities can be arranged for you. Countryside retreats provide a number of options within their own grounds, whilst city and beach hotels have local contacts and can help you to book places or tickets or use facilities, often at a favourable rate.

•Why Boutique Design Matters
What is boutique hotel design, and why does it matter?
There are fashion trends in hotel design just as there are in other areas. In the late eighties and through the nineties, that fashion was for clean, stark, minimalist design, particularly in city hotels. This was such a diversion from the traditional way that hotels were put together that it attracted a whole new generation of travellers.
It’s easy to confuse the minimalist hotel trend with the boutique hotel trend, but in fact the two...
•More Boutique For Your Money
Individuality matters to hotels in the boutique sector. These small, chic hotels endeavour to ensure that you get the best possible experience during your stay.
Staying at a boutique hotel is about more than just staying in a quirky building or having an MP3 player in your room.

•Hotels Why Small Is Beautiful
What is it about staying in a big hotel that annoys you? Maybe it’s the impersonal service, or the amount of time you have to queue to check in. Perhaps it’s the buffet breakfast that’s been under hotplates for a while, or the fact that your room looks like every other room you’ve ever stayed in. Large hotels are great for some occasions, but its worthwhile looking at boutique hotels to regain some enjoyment from your stay.

For many, holiday accommodation plays second fiddle to location and amenities. For the true traveller though, it’s an important part of the experience.
We tend to take travel for granted. It’s easy and cheap to hop on a plane to any one of hundreds of destinations across the world, book into a hotel that’s the same as all the others and find familiar food and drink.
