And is it something American?
Thanks in advanceWhat is a boutique hotel, Please?
It is something one associates with the USA and it is a term applied to small, individualistic hotels which can sometimes be quirky and even ';farfelu'; in nature. When you book a boutique hotel, you expect something out of the ordinary and it can be a way of apologising in advance for not offering the standard uniformity expected by many travellers.What is a boutique hotel, Please?
Yes, boutique hotel is a new form of hotel, born in the USA, these hotels are different from the normal chaines of hotels, they are generally small, quite luxurious, elegant, very confortable, with a service extremely meticulous and sometimes personalized.

Check its web page and see if its what you want. I;ve heard that the decor is superb, very ecclectic and sort of bohemian.symatec

What is a boutique hotel?
Boutique hotel is a term originating in North America to describe intimate, usually luxurious or quirky hotel environments. Boutique hotels differentiate themselves from larger chain/branded hotels and motels by providing personalized level accommodation and services / facilities.
Sometimes known as ';design hotels'; or ';lifestyle hotels,'; boutique hotels began in the 1980s in major cities like New York, London, and San Francisco. Very often it is the Morgans Hotel in Murray Hill of New York, that is awarded with the title of first boutique hotel in the world. It was opened by Ian Schrager in 1984 according to design of Andr茅e Putnam.
Typically boutique hotels are furnished in a themed, stylish and/or aspirational manner. Although usually considerably smaller than a mainstream hotel (often ranging from 3 to 100 guest rooms), boutique hotels can often have hundreds of rooms in major cities. Guest rooms and suites are fitted with telephony and Wi-Fi Internet, air-conditioning, honesty bars and often cable/pay TV. Guest services are attended to by 24 hour hotel staff. Many boutique hotels have on-site dining facilities, and the majority offer bars and lounges which may also be open to the general public.
Despite this definition, the popularity of the boutique term and concept has lead to some confusion about the term. Boutique hotels have typically been unique properties operated by individials or companies with a small collection. However, their successes have prompted established multi-national hotel companies to establish their own brands. The most notable is Starwood Hotels and Resorts' W Hotels.
Currently, there is one publication dedicated to the boutique hotel, boutique DESIGN magazine, which is published quarterly. Boutique hotel resources are more commonly available online and there are a number of sytlized design and coffee table books highlighting various properties throughout the world.What is a boutique hotel?
I'd say it's like a small B%26amp;B. You get breakfast, maybe lunch, and you're on your own for dinner. Really well decorated, and maybe even themes to the rooms. Like Victorian or country. It's usually self-owned instead of a corporation.What is a boutique hotel?
In England, it is an hotel that is not a chain, beautifully decorated to the owners taste and caters for your every whim.
A small hotel, ususally an older one that has been renovated, with quirky attributes and maybe some specialty shops.

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?

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).
...and
Natural Beach Hotel which is right on Beach Road.
They have their own web sites.
