Enjoy the luxury of Boutique Hotels

Development of boutique hotels has been very recent and although these hotels do not form a part of any chain of reputed hotels, they have carved out a place for themselves in the luxury hotel industry. Boutique hotels are actually much smaller then the normal luxury hotels which span over a large area and have hundreds of rooms.

These hotels generally have about 50 rooms but what makes boutique hotels stand out is the luxury and personalized service that they offers to the customers. Each of the rooms are designed for ultimate luxury and suited to different needs. In normal cases there would be a bar, a cable TV, air condition, Wi-Fi internet and all other luxury commodities. But if the guest wants complete privacy and peace then the room may have all other luxuries to suit his needs. Actually boutique hotels can be called as custom hotels customized to the needs of its clients.

Boutique hotels began cropping up originally in places like New York, Chicago during the late 1980’s and they have achieved a good reputation since then. Although boutique hotels were first started by individual persons on a small scale they slowly grew in popularity and attracted the attention of all the large hotel chain owners. These owners wanted to open a chain of boutique hotels and the first of these were opened by the Starwood Hotels and Resorts. They built a variety of boutique hotels worldwide ranging from small and economic boutique hotels to the ultimate luxury hotel.

Boutique hotels everywhere offer personalized services with an employee of the hotel assigned personally to look after all the needs 24 hours a day. Although boutique hotels originally started from New York and Manhattan but they have spread to the European and Asian countries too like Thailand, Phuket, Singapore, Hong Kong, with new hotels appearing in places like China and Turkey.
