Boutique hotels have been gaining in popularity over the years, and for good reason. These small, stylish, and often luxurious hotels offer a unique experience that can't be found in larger, chain hotels. If you're looking for a more personalized and intimate stay, a boutique hotel might be the perfect option for your next trip.


What are boutique hotels?

Boutique hotels are typically smaller hotels that offer a more personalized and unique experience than you might find in a larger chain hotel. They often feature stylish decor, upscale amenities, and a focus on customer service. Many boutique hotels are independently owned, which means they have a greater degree of freedom to create their own unique brand and atmosphere.


Boutique hotels can be found in a variety of settings, from urban locations to remote countryside locations. Some boutique hotels are designed to cater to specific interests, such as foodies or wellness enthusiasts, while others offer a more general luxury experience.


Design Hotels is a hotel brand, offering boutique hotels worldwide. From winery stays in Portugal, to spa breaks in the Fiji Mountains.
