Fewer Rooms, More Style By : Chic Retreats One of the reasons boutique hotels are so popular is because they directly oppose the accepted hotel normality of hundreds of rooms and bland service.

Pick A Hotel With Personality! By : Chic Retreats What does individuality mean in the hotel industry? As far as boutiques are concerned, it’s not just about being a little bit quirky; hanging modern art on the walls, sticking some designer chairs in the rooms or making all the fittings stainless steel.

Hotels: Why Small Is Beautiful By : Chic Retreats What is it about staying in a big hotel that annoys you? Maybe it’s the impersonal service, or the amount of time you have to queue to check in.

Large hotels are great for some occasions, but its worthwhile looking at boutique hotels to regain some enjoyment from your stay. So what is it about small hotels that enchants yo... More Than Rooms And Food By : Chic Retreats In general, we have low expectations of our hotels. As long as the room is decent and the food’s OK, we won’t complain. Boutique hotels hope to change that attitude. Hotel rooms aren’t cheap, so what do we get for our money? In many cases, it’s not much. A reasonable room that’s clean, a bathroom that’s functional and food that’s often not as good as it should be. These hotels should now expect to come under pressure from the smaller, boutique sector, where space, design a...

Themed Boutique Hotels By : Chic Retreats If you really want to stay in a memorable hotel, choose one with a strong design theme. Far more than having room names with a common link, a strong design runs through everything the hotel does, and makes the whole guest experience more interesting.

It is this type of service that many travel... Boutique Hotels – A Traveller’s Paradise By : Chic Retreats For many, holiday accommodation plays second fiddle to location and amenities. For the true traveller though, it’s an important part of the experience. We tend to take travel for granted. It’s easy and cheap to hop on a plane to any one of hundreds of destinations across the world, book into a hotel that’s the same as all the others and find familiar food and drink. That’s not the real essence of travel though, as those who still choose to do it “properly” know. Experie... When Only The Best Boutique Hotels Will Do By : Chic Retreats There are times when you want to splash out and immerse yourself in luxury. Boutique hotels are the ideal places for understated opulence.
