These hotels are often built inside elegant historic buildings and present modern interiors in order to create a catchy contrast.<\/p>\n The furniture is modern and full of details, characterized by the use of bright and unconventional color palettes, vintage pieces, electric wallpapers and sophisticated fabrics. It is a very common practice to introduce elements that refer to the historical period of the construction. Every room is meticulously studied in order to create a cutting-edge and modern composition and environment. Precisely for this attention to the style of the interiors, they are often referred to with the name of design hotel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_font_size=”2em” header_4_font_size=”2em” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”||0px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” header_4_font_size_tablet=”2em” header_4_font_size_phone=”1.6em” header_4_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#3d3d3d” text_font_size=”1.2em” text_line_height=”1.6em” text_font_size_tablet=”1.2em” text_font_size_phone=”1em” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n As we have already seen, from the United States boutique hotels have spread all over the world, especially in the major cities and jet-setting destinations: Paris, London and New York<\/a><\/strong>.

The main goal of the staff is to make clients welcome throughout their stay and in order to achieve that they work the extra mile. Sometimes they even know each guest\u2019s name.

If we consider the large hotel chains, it is inevitable to realize that their properties always look alike no matter where they are. This is because the interior design, the furnishings and the services have been standardized to offer the same quality around the world.<\/p>\n Boutique hotels are quite different from each other. Since they are independently owned, each of them has its own personality and uniqueness. For example, it is not unusual for a boutique hotel to decorate every room in a different way. The common areas must also be furnished according to the recurring theme and developed throughout the structure. The boutique hotels also offer the opportunity to stay in a place where you can experience the destination at 100% and get in touch with it.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/octorate.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ludovice-8-gallery0-2.webp” alt=”Booking Engine Cos’\u00e8” title_text=”Ludovice-8-gallery0-2″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||5%||false|false” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_font_size=”2.5em” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”||0px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”2.5em” header_3_font_size_phone=”2em” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#3d3d3d” text_font_size=”1.2em” text_line_height=”1.6em” custom_padding=”||0px|||” text_font_size_tablet=”1.2em” text_font_size_phone=”1em” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Staying in a Boutique hotel has become a very big trend, because people are looking for unforgettable experiences when traveling.
