9 Canadian Hotels Who Are Doing ‘Boutique’ the Right Way
Although there is no standard industry definition for ‘boutique hotels’, the minute you walk through their doors and become enveloped by the truly unique character and personality, you’ll understand.
Boutique hotels separate themselves from cookie-cutter properties by creating an experience around the hotel stay itself. Intimate in size, most boutique hotels will have anywhere between ten – 100 rooms and provide an atmosphere that makes guests feel transported to another world. Boutique hotels always strive to be one-of-a-kind and go above-and-beyond with unexpected yet exciting décor and food, services and amenities. This personalized and inimitable offering hasn’t gone unnoticed by travellers as more and more are opting for a boutique experience.
From historic sites to newly constructed skyscrapers, Booking.com, the global leader in connecting travellers with the widest choice of incredible places to stay, has found some of the best Canadian boutique accommodations that offer an exclusive experience where you CAN have it all.
