Boutique - what does it mean
They’re all different – from relaxing country homes, luxurious lodges, hip boutique hotels.
A Truly Personal Experience
Ah, hospitality—now there’s a word with real warmth. When it comes to boutique hotels, “hospitality” isn’t just a standard service but a genuine, welcoming experience. These properties may not fit a single mold, but they do share one thing in common: a warm approach to hosting guests.
Boutique properties tend to be small- to medium-sized, often personally owned and managed by hands-on hosts who pour their passion into every detail. This personal touch is what sets boutique hotels apart.
The Meaning of Luxury—What’s Your Definition?
Luxury means different things to different people. For some, it’s all about unplugging and escaping the digital world. Others might think of luxury as having a private butler on hand, ready with a glass of champagne. For some, it’s the solitude of a mountain view, a tranquil sea breeze, or just a quiet moment watching the world go by.
Whatever your idea of luxury, boutique hotels have a way of curating experiences to match. These are places where thoughtful, often unexpected touches appear in every corner—from handcrafted furniture to art that tells a story. The setting, the decor, and the personalized service come together to create a feeling of true comfort and calm.
An Invitation-Only Experience of Quality
At Boutique Hotels & Lodges, we carefully select properties that exemplify the highest standards. Membership is by invitation only, and we consider every detail—from comfort and design to service and dining. These touches separate the best from the rest, creating places that feel like a true retreat.
Each property in our collection brings something unique. One might be an elegantly restored homestead with a timeless ambiance, another an eclectic seaside hotel with show-stopping views. Some are cool, minimalist retreats, while others have a cosy, historic charm. Each one is different, but they all share a commitment to making guests feel not just comfortable but truly at home.
Decades of Experience, Unmatched Insight
Our marketing company, founded by Susan Roberts, brings over 35 years of experience in travel, tourism, and hospitality.

At the end of the day, a boutique hotel isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place that feels like it was made just for you. That’s the beauty of boutique hospitality.
