Best boutique hotel in all of Hawaii?

My partner and I have to attend a wedding in Kauai in June. Hawaii is not our favorite place. Every year we go to La Palmilla (http://oneandonlyresorts.com) for our vacaction, but this year, that budget will go to the wedding in Hawaii.





We are looking for an exclusive boutique hotel in Hawaii (any island) that mirrors the quality of La Palmilla. We're hoping to *not* stay at a Four Seasons or Ritz Carton chain, but something more special and intimate.





We would love any guidance.





thanks.Best boutique hotel in all of Hawaii?

Hana Hotel on Maui. It's a high end hotel in a gorgeous setting along the Hana coast. It's frequently recognized for its spa, setting, and service by magazines like Conde Nast, Travel + Leisure, etc. It's a place for discerning travelers. You might even see a celebrity there.

The Lodge at Koele or the Manele Bay Resort on Lanai might be just what you are looking for. They are small, upscale, %26amp; on an island that has little tourism or development.





Editing to add... the woman under me has a great suggestion. I stayed there years ago %26amp; LOVED the place!

Has anyone stayed in tim boutique hotel or mercure hotel in pattaya thailand?

looked at these two hotels and they seem to be the best for the price and also look to be in a good location any help pleaseHas anyone stayed in tim boutique hotel or mercure hotel in pattaya thailand?
I haven't used these places but I know where they are. The Tim Boutique is a practically brand new hotel. It is in a good location close to Pattaya 2nd Road which is a main street. Close to malls and movie theaters, restaurants, bars and street vendors. Short walk to Beach Road.





The Mercure is a little older but not bad. Your choice, if you are okay with the price. My choice would be the Tim Hotel only because it would be a little easier to utilize the cheap 10 baht baht bus transportation on Pattaya 2nd Road.





Keep in mind that hotels in Pattaya that are in the 500-600 baht range will have air, hot water, private toilet, cable TV. Maybe at around 800 baht they will have pools too!





Good luck.Has anyone stayed in tim boutique hotel or mercure hotel in pattaya thailand?
HI Look at the sunbeam hotel or the globetrotter they are a much better location , you want to be @ soi7 or 8 for the best location , everything in walking distance , you could try the pig %26amp; whistle in soi 7 the have room as well and the best breakfast in pattaya
Not stayed in either of them but I know the Mercure is a little out of the way of things in relation to get on the main road and could be bad at nights if you have a family.





I normally stay in www.sandyspringshotel.com but have a look at www.pattayaphotoguide.com to find out about location of each
I stayed at the Mecure about a year and a half ago, no complaints. The rooms were clean, good for the price and they had a decent breakfast. It is a few blocks back from the beach but they had a free shuttle that takes you down to near 2nd Rd. and runs continuously until very late. Nothing great, but not bad at all.
You may also want to look at Pattaya Bay Resort (close to 2nd road).

Natural Beach Hotel which is right on Beach Road.





They have their own web sites.

Is there a stylish beach boutique hotel in the Canary Islands?

Is there a good boutique hotel in Spain for less than $100?

You have neglected to say where exactly in Spain you are thinking or spending time in. You can log onto sites such as expedia and I am not sure if lastminute.com has anything in Spain. But for cheap and usually rather good accommodation I would reccommend checking out what are called pensiones they range in quality and price but are for the most part quite comfortable and affordable.Is there a good boutique hotel in Spain for less than $100?
there aren't a whole lot of cheap hostales for much less than $100, anymore.Is there a good boutique hotel in Spain for less than $100?

Looking for an upscale boutique hotel in Istanbul with a balcony.?

Does anyone in Istanbul have a recomendation for a nice hotel with a balcony and a view? My husband and I will be in Istanbul for five nights and want to stay some place really special. Thanks!Looking for an upscale boutique hotel in Istanbul with a balcony.?
The Ambassador hotel has a nice ';penthouse'; room and a fantastic view from its terrace restaurant. It is about a block from the Hippodrome and Haiga Sohpia, etc. It also has a small Turkish bath facility.


If you want to rent a full apartment with a balcony and view -- just feet away from the Blue Mosque, there are two available. If you are interested, I could find the owner's e-mail address.Looking for an upscale boutique hotel in Istanbul with a balcony.?
The Four Seasons has several rooms with great views. It's very expensive, but you can go for lunch and eat on the terrace and see both the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia
I have lived in Istanbul for several years and I would have to say the hands down winner for the best and most unique hotel here is The Empress Zoe. There is a special double room that has a private terrace. There are courtyard suites and terrace suites. It is worth a look at their web site.

Since I'm not sure of your budget may I also suggest something a bit less expensive maybe not so unique or special but the rooms do have balconies


http://www.accurahotelistanbul.com/





And then of course you may have a large budget then I would recommend the Ciragan Palace on the Bosporus with great views and balconies

I stayed at a boutique hotel right by the Blue Mosque and Haghia Sophia called Seven Hills. It is an old Ottoman style building with a nice roof top restuarant. I think only the top Presidential suite has a balcony but I could literally through a rock and hit the Haghia Sophia. It also had a jacuzzi. I paid only 150 US because my friends new the manager but I think it is more regularly. Personally I don't like the guy because he hit on me all the time but as a couple you won't have any problem. He also took us out to Taksim and should us the good night clubs and will take you shopping if you want. At any rate you can't beat the location. It is right across from the famous Four Seasons where Midnight Express was films.

My friends & I would like to stay in Baiyoke Boutique Hotel for coming vacation.?

Please advise whether this hotel is clean, safe %26amp; convenient?My friends %26amp; I would like to stay in Baiyoke Boutique Hotel for coming vacation.?
I know the hotel and it's not impressive, but for USD 30 you get a superb location if you are into shopping.





The hotel is located in the heart of the Pratunam Market and you are within walking distance from Central World and Panthip Plaza. Opposite Central World, you'll find another busy commercial/market area with small ';specialty'; restaurants, including one on roof top next to Klong San Sarb.





If you walk a bit further out Rachaprarop Road, you'll find excellent seafood (on side walk) and then (after the Esso ga station) Soi Rang Nam where there also is plenty of good restaurants - it used to be a place famous for Isan food.





Sukhumvit Road is for red lights, fake designer goods, and tacky souvenirs.My friends %26amp; I would like to stay in Baiyoke Boutique Hotel for coming vacation.?
I just got back from Bangkok on Monday and I stayed at the Baiyoke Suite hotel which is very near to Baiyoke Boutique Hotel. It is much cheaper and smaller that Baiyoke Suite but also very convenient. There are many shopping malls around walking distance and night markets too.





Yes, the hotel is safe and you don't have to worry as long as you don't wander into dark alley.
http://asiatravel.com/thailand/prepaidho鈥?/a>





Rooms look good/ clean. If your using this hotel for a shopping location, you've selected well. 2 stars = $ 30.00 night





For entertainment , The Surkimvent ( spelling ) area is fun. Octopus travel.com and Asian rooms.com





Good luck!
below is the reviews i found from people who stayed they. it looks like a two star hotel, cheap and you get what you pay for.
It's not very clean, it's not very convenient, but it may be relatively safe.


It is cheap.


Makre sure you don't circumvent Sukhumvit.

Is there any nice eco boutique hotel near Jac贸, Costa Rica?

Is there any nice eco boutique hotel near Jac贸, Costa Rica? Somehere where I can find a nice ecological environment near and out of the rush of Jac贸.Is there any nice eco boutique hotel near Jac贸, Costa Rica?
You can try Playa Hermosa, near Jac贸, but my best bet is Terrazas del Pac铆fico. They just got some awards such as the blue flag since they lowered contamination of the beach almost to none.


The place its beachfront so when you wake up you麓ll have the ocean in front of you and its only about 5 minutes from Jac贸.


You can also try Hermosa, like Hotel Fuego del Sol, also beachfront, but Terrazas is more secluded than the other ones since its the only hotel at that beach.


If you want more information you can go to my online chat at http://costaricanativa.com/Is there any nice eco boutique hotel near Jac贸, Costa Rica?
A new and unique eco boutique hotel just opened near Jaco. A wonderful place, surrounded by forest covered mountains, a nice river, trees and all kind of birds, monkeys... an ecological oasis, 5 minutes out of Jac贸. Beautiful pool and services. Outsanding rooms. http://www.elpasodelaslapas.com

You might try some of the other beaches near Jaco like Playa grande or the road from Jac贸 to Quepos.
