boutique inn

Small stylish hotel

A boutique inn is a small, independently operated lodging that emphasizes distinctive character and personalized service over standardized amenities.

Unlike chain hotels, boutique inns typically feature unique décor, local flavor, and intimate atmospheres with relatively few rooms: We skipped the resort and stayed at a boutique inn downtown.

The term combines the exclusivity suggested by "boutique" with the warmth of a traditional inn.
