Boutique hotels

[coventrygull]

Um, hardly.

They are generally city centre hotels with high-end, high-quality rooms with excellent food, friendly staff without being the stuffy B&B/hotels trying to pertain to excessive delusions of grandeur.

Hotel Babylon, while being a fictional hotel, is an example of a boutique hotel. In Brighton, Hotel du Vin (part of a big chain nowadays) is also one. Malmaison is another brand that springs to mind.

Have you stayed in one then. I still think they are just jumped up B&B's. There websites don't impress me god only knows what the rooms are like in reality

I have.

They're NOTHING like B&Bs. They're proper bona fide hotels, and generally, they're fantastic. The showers in HdV I can especially recommend - the big-head shower in wet rooms.

Not sure where you're getting the 'jumped up B&Bs' bit from, to be honest.

Just my opinion from the net and the odd TV programme.

Hotel du Vin and Malmaison - part of the same group - are excellent. However, having booked a family room at the Travelodge in Preston Park for £29 - ie, around £7 each for the night - I'll settle for good value over boutique most of the time.

Yes Nothing wrong with Travelodge or Travel Inns.
