The definition of a boutique hotel
varies.
Architecture and design Style, distinction, warmth, and intimacy
are key words in the architecture and design of boutique hotels,
which seem to attract a niche of customers looking for a special
and differentiated property able to fulfill their individual
needs. Many boutique hotels introduce different themes in each
guestroom, making every single stay unique, even for their
repeat guests.
Typical Size: Although no standard definition of boutique hotels
has been agreed upon, and the sizes of these types of hotels
vary considerably, most boutique hotels do share some common
characteristics. However, most boutique hotels are properties
that do not exceed 150 rooms.
Boutique hotels in city destinations:
In city destinations, location still ranks number one on guests'
priority lists. Good locations for boutique hotels are not
determined only by manner of convenience, but also by the
"trendiness" and "chic-ness" of their respective neighborhoods.
Accordingly, most existing city boutique hotels are located in
vivacious cities such as New York, London, San Francisco, and
Miami.
Both the style and the design of city boutique hotels are unlike
the traditional resort boutique hotels. Cooler notes, modernism,
and the interpretation of the 21st Century — at times matched
with historical components and art — are considered modish, and
are found in most successful city boutique hotels. Technology
strongly relates to these factors, whether it is technology that
enhances the ambience and promotes emotional contact between the
guests and the hard attributes of the building (such as lighting
and music), or technology that is provided for the convenience
of hotel guests (such as in-room DVD players, flat-screen
television sets, cordless phones, and computers with high-speed
Internet access and the latest monitor genres).Entertainment in
boutique hotels is an important dynamic in creating a lively,
chic and trendy mind-set. However, in the boutique hotel
concept, entertainment is not limited to events such as live
music and performances; the idea of a boutique hotel is
entertainment in its own nature: a hip restaurant, lounge, and
bar; an exceptional theme; and visually spectacular decorations.
Boutique hotels in resort destinations:
Boutique hotels in resort destinations are exotic, small, and
intimate. These boutique hotels give their guests a chance to
explore the local feel without sacrificing luxury. Although
location is just as important in resort destinations as it is in
city destinations, the word "trendy" has a different designation
in this matter; if location should be central in the case of
city boutique hotels, trendy resort boutique hotels are
generally well-hidden, tucked away in deserted corners of the
islands or the mountains. The more difficult it is to reach the
destination by means of common transportation, the more
fashionable the location is considered. Successful boutique
resort hotels unite traditional architecture with the comfort
and luxury of modernism, without losing the personality of the
local community.
