Boutique Hotels & Resorts | Small Luxury Hotels of the World

We’ve turned the ‘luxury boutique hotel’ into a phenomenon…

We've personally visited, vetted and verified over 500 boutique hotels in more than 80 countries. They’re small, perfectly formed and independently owned. Most have no more than 50 rooms. All are anti-chain and anti-same. We’re here to perfectly match the world’s independent travellers with the most individual, intimate and intense hotel experiences.
