Your hotel has the possibility to make or break your vacation, but if you are staying in a boutique hotel, especially the best ones in the world, chances are you'll be in very good hands.
For those who don’t know what a boutique hotel is, boutique hotels are luxurious accommodations that offer more privacy and exclusive services. Another common feature of this type of hotel is the reduced number of rooms.
Travelers looking for this type of service want comfort, convenience, privacy, and luxury. Many of these hotels also offer special services that are not found in traditional hotels, for example, butler, personal assistant, and check-in and check-out out of the fixed hours of a traditional hotel.
Boutique hotels do not just offer a stay, but an experience. Staying at a boutique hotel will take your journey to a whole different level. So here are the 10 best boutique hotels around the world that should be on every luxury traveler's list!
