Whether you’re making your way to the beaches of Miami, or impersonating the life of a celebrity in Beverly Hills, why not make the most of your stay by seeking comfort in the most chic of places? After all, where you stay for your trip can make or break a getaway.
Which brings us to the world of boutique hotels, the intimate and luxurious approach to travel. Differentiating from large hotel chains, boutique hotels are known for their personalized services and accommodations, each hotel usually ranging from 3 to 100 guest rooms. Often furnished in a specific theme, boutique hotels can lend more attention to design since the experience is most definitely focused on quality. Since they are smaller establishments, they sometimes employ big names in design to do the decor dirty work. While maintaining a fashionable and hip aesthetic, they also offer lively atmospheres, whether it be in the form of delicious restaurants, trendy bars and lounges. No matter what, these perks will make your stay anything but boring!
With this in mind, we bring you our top 5 picks in boutique hotels, all found in great cities that will surely make your stay something worth remembering.
