Press Release – Athens 28/10/2024
The Boutique Community, created by Boutique Setters, is the first international B2B platform dedicated to boutique hospitality. It serves as a unique ecosystem that connects boutique hotels with selected and verified suppliers and service providers across Europe and beyond.
In Europe, 77% of hotels are independent, family-run businesses, many with long-standing traditions. However, in recent years, there has been a decline in these businesses due to the rise of international chains, fierce competition, and the challenges of growth.
The Boutique Community’s mission is to empower and support owners of independent boutique hotels through a platform offering a comprehensive solution, built on 4 pillars:
- Networking Opportunities: Through the exclusive VIP Lounge, hotel members gain access to a community made up of industry leaders, founders, and representatives of successful brands, fostering valuable partnerships. In addition, all community members can connect via a forum, aimed at sharing insights and exchanging views.
- Marketplace: Members of the platform are connected with top-tier, reliable suppliers and service providers, securing competitive offers, as well as quality and cost-effective services and equipment to meet every operational need of their hotels.
- Access to Continuous Updates: Boutique Setters offers its partners insights into the latest tourism industry trends through reports, webinars, and events.
- Enhanced Visibility: Members enjoy increased exposure via Boutique Setters’ social media channels, including the website, LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok. Additionally, all members receive the official Boutique Setters badge, certifying them as trusted partners within its ecosystem, boosting their credibility and recognition.
Launched just a month ago, the Boutique Community already counts over 100 members, including hotels, suppliers, and service providers, and is rapidly expanding, transforming the boutique hospitality landscape.
Elena Papadonikolaki, Founder & CEO of Boutique Setters, commented: “The Boutique Community brings boutique hotel owners together with carefully selected service providers and hotel equipment suppliers, fostering growth and collaboration. Our goal is to highlight and promote authentic boutique hospitality, setting new standards in the market as pioneers. Through our platform, hotel entrepreneurs have access to innovative solutions and groundbreaking ideas that enhance their guests’ experience and elevate their services, creating a unique approach to hospitality. It is the first boutique community in Greece and beyond, offering members strategic connections, collaboration opportunities, and access to valuable information and inspiration, contributing to their business success.”
