10 BOUTIQUE HOTELS & RESORTS YOU'LL LOVE
If intimate and unique properties are your style, consider a boutique property for your next getaway. Boutique hotels and resorts typically have less than 100 rooms and are commonly concept-based (i.e., eco-luxury or art). Best of all, you’ll have the impression that you’re indefinitely renting a hip apartment /villa rather than temporary lodging!
