Are there any frequent guest programs for independent or boutique hotels?

I travel a lot for work and am burned out on the Marriott-Hilton-Hyatt scene. I have recently started seeking out mid-scale and upscale boutique hotels (like the Algonquin in NYC or the Metropolitan in Toronto) and I really enjoy the character you get at places like those. But I miss my free nights. Is there a network or frequent traveller program that focuses on smaller, boutique hotels? I know some or most of the smaller chains have their own programs; I'm looking for a program that gives me a lot of variety/choices in hotels and still allows me to get rewards.





I travel primarily in the US with about 3 trips a year to Canada; mainly on the East Coast but some West Coast travel; hotels themselves should be priced similar to an area Marriott/Courtyard/Hilton/Embassy Suites or else work won't pay.

Both are personalised accomodation.. and involve common facilities like a common dining hall, maid services etc.. also common decor .. soem boutique hotels are owned by coporate houses for use as guest houses for their own clients/employees ......so is there any difference? Is it just abt short stay versus long stay, or is there anything else?

there are so meany difference
The fundamental difference is that a Boutiqe hotel is not part of a franchise or hotel chain.





Now, this could apply with serviced apartments also, unless they were part of a chain. The serviced apartments could be privately owned





With serviced apartments, you have a kitchen and your own cooking facilities if you wish to do so. It is more like an apartment. So therefore more suited to long stay.





A hotel room will not have this kitchenette facility.





Both are serviced in as much as linen and towels are changed, and the rooms are cleaned daily.





Both will have lobbies, althought the desk of the apartments (depending on where you stay) may not be manned after hours and will be lacking a night duty manager or night auditor that usually man the front office of a hotel.





In some cases, when staying in serviced apartments, if you are a late arrival, you collect your key from a safe outside the door using a pre-arranged pin code.
The difference between a boutique hotel and a normal hotel is that a boutique hotel is unique in terms of its theme,decor,etc as opposed to normal chain hotels which always have the same kind of basic decors. Like a Best Western or a Holiday Inn will look pretty much the same everywhere else in the world. As for the difference between a service apartment and a boutique hotel is that normally service apartment are just that....apartments and almost all of them have kitchens/kitcehnnetes where you can cook
