It is not easy to describe what “Boutique Hotel” actually means because its definition varies not only from state to state, but also each host provides its own interpretation meaning of the label “Boutique Hotel”.
Despite it unclear definition, 4 common points that distinguish a boutique hotel can be identified.
Location First of all, the boutique hotels can be characterized by two different kinds of destinations: city and resort. The boutique hotels in city-urban destinations are dipped in the fashion atmosphere and lifestyle of cities as Rome, Venice, Palermo, Milan which influence their design, architecture, or theme. The boutique hotels in resort destinations are instead characterized by their proximity to tourist centres of primary importance and generally are located in hidden and less known places as well as in little islets.
Style Secondly, the boutique hotels are not chain-affiliated hotels and does not exceed 150 rooms. They houses a kind of cosy and stylish accommodations, all different each other. Most of them are also defined as design hotels because the décor in a boutique hotel runs toward revisited local materials, total white furniture or bold color splashes, successful mix of past and modern details. The boutique hotels in Italy are also an homage to the “Made in Italy” furniture, materials and ingredients.
Atmosphere Warmth and intimacy are the main key words which described the atmosphere of a boutique hotel. Furthermore, this intimate and enveloping setting coexists with a full service accommodations, product quality, and for those placed in the heart of a city, technology (from Wi-Fi till music and special light effects) is an additional important attribute.
