Boutique hotels were first introduced in the United Kingdom and in much of North America and they generally were characterized as being hotels that were slightly quirky and also luxurious. These hotels are rather unique and not like the normal hotel chains that we are accustomed to living in. In fact, the main distinguishing feature is that the boutique accommodation offers personalized service and facilities which you will normally not find in standard hotels. Boutique hotels can also be called lifestyle hotels and also designer hotels, and from the eighties, when they first sprang up in cities like London and San Francisco and New York, they have grown in popularity and for good reason as well. They tend to have thematic decors and there is a certain sense of aspiration to each hotel room that, even though they may be smaller than regular hotel rooms, but which are nevertheless very attractive. This is because these rooms will be very individualized and so you can be sure that you will not find a similar room in any of the regular hotels in your country or city. At the same time, the rooms in such hotels will have the best amenities including Wi-Fi and air conditioning as well as television, and more. But, the main emphasis will be on solitude and comfort and less on the kind of advanced gadgets that a normal hotel provides. Even so, you will still get round the clock room service, but at the same time, there will also be on site dining offered. Such hotels are also very unique and are normally operated by individuals and by small companies. They have succeeded in capturing our imagination by providing a unique brand of service. Some people may confuse a bed and breakfast with these hotels and in fact, some features are shared by both types of accommodations. New York has the maximum number of boutique hotels in the US whereas in Europe, Spain has a fair sprinkling and these hotels are also very popular in countries like Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong. |
