Endless Holiday

Boutique hotels first became popular in the mid-1980s. They are small, independent facilities, and throughout the aforementioned decade they began opening in major cities throughout the world. Many travel experts were initially very skeptical about this type of establishment, but boutiques are now considered major contenders for numerous vacationers’ dollars.

The design of such establishments is nontraditional. However, most boutique chains have a specific number of rooms that feature the same shape, decor, and size. The hotel’s exterior is typically designed in the same manner as the buildings and establishments in the area of the world in which it is located.

Such accommodations are found in cities that are highly popular vacation destinations. However, it is possible to find such establishments in smaller cities as well. Such establishments almost always offer guests a more intimate experience than large hotel chains. They often have private opportunities such as exclusive painting classes, sightseeing expeditions, or dance lessons.

The target market for most hotels of this type is young, affluent, adventurous individuals. The guests who frequent such establishment the most are typically between 22 and 50 years of age. However, over the past decade business travelers have become interested in such establishments as well.

Most facilities of this type are not large, with the exception of several well-known chains that have embraced the concept. However, many establishments of this kind feature only eight to ten rooms. However, the modest size of the hotel is typically more than made up for by the services and unique features it offers to its guests.

Additionally, many boutiques are known to specifically tailor what they offer to each individual guest in order to create a completely unique experience. For this reason, many travelers returned to the same boutique hotels year after year. Anyone who is interested in trying something a bit different from their typical travel arrangements should consider boutiques.
