Tourism is increasing by leaps and bounds all over the world. Travelling for rejuvenation to newer destinations is now on everyone’s mind. The increase in tourism has given rise to several staying options. Big hotels are not the only place that one gets to stay in now. Home stays and boutique hotels are in fact ruling the roost in the sector.
But what are the boutique hotels? Boutique hotels are the smaller hotels that give you the comfort and amenities of star rated hotels, but in a much more personalized way. Boutique hotels are not only finding favors with the travelers but also with the entrepreneurs who want to initiate in this business sector. It is easier for the owners to manage a small number of rooms and fewer guests, and travelers prefer these as they are custom built, with specialized décor and food. In fact, boutique hotels are the best bet if anybody wants to experience the local flavors of the places they are travelling to. But off late, the term boutique hotels have been loosely used too. Not every small hotel is a boutique hotel. Other than the luxury and ambience of five star hotels, styling is what makes boutique hotels stand out from the rest. Right from the décor to the furnishings and food, everything in the boutique hotel bears a personalized mark.
Like other countries, there are numerous Boutique hotels in India in every popular travel destination. In fact, boutique hotels in lesser popular travel destinations in the country are helping in bring increased footfalls. Whether in the hills stations, deserts or the coastal areas, one can find good boutique hotels; rather few award winning ones too! One can choose from a range of old palatial properties like that of Samode Palace, Jaipur, hermitages like those in Padnekad, Kerala, or avant-garde resorts like The Khyber Himalayan Resort & Spa, Gulmarg. But of course, the process of choosing a good boutique hotel requires a wee bit of home work. It is essential to check through the images of the hotels, read as many reviews as possible and verify with any previous guest of the hotel that one may know of, before booking one.
