boutique hotels

Small stylish accommodations

Boutique hotels are small, stylish hotels that emphasize distinctive design and personalized service over standardized amenities.

They typically have fewer than 100 rooms and cultivate a unique atmosphere—whether through architectural character, curated décor, or neighborhood integration.

The term distinguishes them from large chain hotels: We skipped the Marriott for a boutique hotel in the arts district.
