I love the concept of a “boutique” hotel. Generally larger than a B&B, but smaller and much more intimate than a hotel, the boutique hotel is my favorite destination on a business trip when I like to feel “connected” to other people –more than just a credit card number at the front desk of another chain hotel. Or then, there are those weekends when I just want to go away to a nice cushy place with my main squeeze and be pampered (by him and the staff!)
