Definition of Boutique Hotel Types
B for Boutique
At Boutique Setters, we strongly believe that unique experiences can set you apart and the secret lies in the emotions and images we create through the activation of all our senses….
Therefore, for Uniqueness, we choose to ”Go Boutique’’. There is a whole world of Boutique places out there offering magic moments, leaving a long-lasting memory. Let’s define what is ‘’Boutique’’ though and how many different types of Boutique stays exist.
Boutique experience
Boutique experience embraces simplicity, and authenticity, focusing on the art of the understated elegance and refined minimalism…and so luxury is defined.
Boutique Hotel
While not all small hotels are boutique, all boutique properties are small. A Boutique hotel embraces individuality, charm, local character, and, of course, size. It keeps in mind current trends in the hospitality industry, including art, culture, and design to offer a unique experience not available at other properties. We hand-pick & verify as ”Boutique”, hotels that are consciously designed, intimate and have an extraordinary story to share. Hotels that go the extra mile, providing the contemporary traveler with that local flavor and sensibility we all crave when we travel.
Boutique Lifestyle Hotel
A lifestyle hotel is a distinctive accommodation that goes beyond traditional hospitality by curating an immersive experience tailored to a specific theme, concept, atmosphere, or guest lifestyle. Often featuring unique design elements, local influences, and personalized services, aiming to create a memorable and individualized stay. Lifestyle hotels focus on delivering a particular ambiance or set of experiences that resonate with the preferences and interests of their target clientele. They cater to specific lifestyles or interests, such as art lovers, foodies, or adventure seekers.
Boutique City Hotel
A small, stylish, and often independently owned hotel located in an urban setting. It distinguishes itself by offering a unique and intimate atmosphere, personalized services, and a focus on individualized guest experiences. It can be addressed to business clients or to business leisure clients. It is usually an extension of celebrating the city on culture, art, and food.
Boutique Budget / Hostel
This is a hybrid accommodation that combines elements of a boutique hotel with the communal and budget-friendly features of a hostel. This type of lodging aims to offer a unique and stylish experience while maintaining a social and communal atmosphere.
Hostels cater to a diverse range of travelers, including solo adventurers, budget-conscious tourists, and those who appreciate a more social and communal travel experience.
The combination of affordability, style, and a sense of community distinguishes Boutique Hostel Hotels within the broader hospitality landscape.
