Let’s face it. In today’s economy, who has the money to own and maintain five houses anymore? This is where boutique hotels back you off of that ledge, my friend. They are intimate, like your home. They don’t have that cold sterility of a major hotel like a Hilton or Hyatt. The staff tends to be there longer. They remember your name. Even the rooms tend to differ from one room to the next.
When it comes to luxury, there’s nothing that compares to a boutique hotel. If you’re accustomed to staying at a prestigious hotel like the Ritz, you might think you’re already staying at the top hotels in the world. You’re not. Boutique hotels are generally newer. They have much less traffic. You’ll fully appreciate this when you’re sitting in the sauna.
That’s only the beginning. The pile of the carpet is thicker. The crust on your gourmet pizza is thinner. The thread count of the Egyptian cotton sheets is denser. And the feather bed is deeper. Every aspect of a small and intimate boutique hotel is designed to give you richer memories for years to come.
Ironically, my personal favorite part about staying at a boutique hotel vs a luxury hotel is the cost. Yes, it can actually cost less than staying at the Ritz. Many of them are privately owned. If you want to stay at one that’s not, the general manager is fully empowered to offer you a rate that works for you.
Tell the owner or the general manager that you have 300 Facebook friends. Tell them that you’re putting their hotel in your photo album with glowing reviews. Tell him you’ll tweet about them all week and how influential you are. They want your business and they want to be a part of your family. You’d be surprised how hard they’ll work to keep get your business and keep you in the lap of luxury from the moment you arrive. To be alerted about off-peak specials, just click “Like” HERE.
