Boutique Hospitality as per Leon


"Having journeyed through every facet of the hotel industry, I've come to see Boutique Hospitality as an art form. It's about curating an authentic, immersive journey for each guest, injecting style, design, and authenticity into every space. Boutique Hospitality, to me, transcends the ordinary; it's about delivering an unforgettable, deeply personal experience, where every detail matters. With a blend of vast hotel-operating experience, and a passion for business, I've injected a vibrant soul into our Brown Hotels. We craft intimate spaces that exude character, connecting guests to the local culture and surroundings. Boutique Hospitality is about anticipating the desires of our guests, ensuring they leave with lasting memories, and always keeping an eye on what lies around the next corner."
