An eye for detail and an insistence on quality are two of the main things that distinguish a boutique hotel from any other.
There are many characteristics that make up a good boutique hotel; number of rooms, good design and excellent service are among them. Two of the most important are often overlooked though, which is a shame, given the tremendous amount of research, time and energy that goes into providing them: quality and detail.
Quality
A boutique hotel should be solely concerned with quality in all areas of its operations. From the cleanliness of the rooms to the standard of the food, boutique guests expect more from these hotels than from regular hotels and owners have to make sure they exceed these expectations. A constant striving for the very best in everything is one of the things that define this type of accommodation. Examples of places where quality really matters include:
Fabrics curtains, bed linen, furniture coverings, bathrobes, towels and tablecloths must all be of exceptional quality. Thats why many boutique hotels use Frette linens or exotic netting; guests notice the difference.
