  • Boutique Hotels Segment the Challenge of Standing out from the Crowd
    SEPTEMBER 2011 BOUTIQUE HOTELS SEGMENT THE CHALLENGE OF STANDING OUT FROM THE CROWD Cristina Balekjian Associate Lara Sarheim Associate Director www.hvs.com HVS – London Office| 7‐10 Chandos Street, Cavendish Square, London W1G 9DQ, UK Introduction Interest in boutique hotels, despite the relative slow down in the global economy, remains overwhelming. It is an exciting segment of the market particularly within Europe’s gateway cities. New investors are keen to enter the market and established hotel operators are fast expanding and developing new concepts to compete in this sector. With the boutique hotel market now truly established, operators have recently reported data that suggests their hotels are outperforming the competing corporate chains, especially during the recession. Developing/evolving consumer habits can help to explain this growth as guests are becoming more aware of design, expect a higher level of service, and are increasingly seeking an experience instead of a commoditised product. Guests increasingly want to feel recognised and like to feel part of a unique experience. Boutique hotels are generally accepted to be small (100 rooms appears to be the invisible boundary) and are therefore better placed to react as their limited capacity enables them to enhance the quality of service and customise their outlets. In the majority of cases, large‐scale hotels need to cater to a significant number of guests, and thus struggle to compete with the personal service afforded by a small boutique operation that can take into consideration the preference of each individual guest. Furthermore, (independent) boutique hotel owners often do not have to comply with brand standards, thus developers can more easily convert an existing building into a design led‐hotel that welcomes varying floor levels and layouts rather than having to conform to minimum room sizes and specific FF&E standards imposed by most brands.

  • Parīlio, a Member of Design Hotels Cycladic Light Simplicity PRESS
    04.03.2020 Parīlio, a Member of Design Hotels Cycladic Light Simplicity PRESS RELEASE Parīlio has been named to the Travel + Leisure 2020 It List of Best New Hotels Parīlio, was named to the 15th annual It List of Travel + Leisure, a collection of the best new hotels in world, meticulously curated by the publication’s editors. Each year, Travel + Leisure editors explore hundreds of new hotels around the globe questing for those that offer a special, holistic experience based on location, ambiance, service and amenities. The editors also collaborate with Travel + Leisure’s global network of expert travel writers and agents to narrow this exclusive list. Parīlio, that opened its doors in July 2019 on the pristine island of Paros, is the only Greek hotel featured in the prestigious It List and is described by Travel + Leisure’s editors as the perfect base from which to explore the island’s riches and as a place one may never want to leave. Parīlio, the name of which is derived from ‘Paros’ and the Greek word for the sun ‘īlios’, is a 33-suite retreat distinguished by Paros’s timeless simplicity. An expansive pool, notable for its distinct cross shape and highlighted by two impressive rocks dominates the hotel’s grounds, offering the perfect spot in which to soak up Paros’s pastoral beauty surrounded by amber-hued fields and stately araucaria trees. The aesthetics of Parīlio are guided by the clean lines and simplistic beauty of classic Cycladic architecture, while its interiors are defined by a soothing, tonal color palette and natural materials, evoking a sense of age-old sanctuary and resulting in a space that is both cathartic and elemental.

    The Development of Boutique Hotels in Brașov City Codruța Adina Băltescu Faculty of Economic Sciences and Business Administration, Transilvania University of Brașov [email protected] Dana Boșcor Faculty of Economic Sciences and Business Administration, Transilvania University of Brașov [email protected] Abstract Boutique hotels are hotel businesses dedicated to addressing a well-defined segment of customers. The development of the concept is an ongoing process, these accommodation units are already well known on the hotel market, thus reflecting their attraction among the guests. The paper highlights the main features of the boutique hotels, the specificity of the offer and analyzes the major global hotel groups in order to highlight their concerns in the direction of developing their own chains of boutique hotels. Aiming to identify the development of this hotel concept in our country, the paper also analyzes the units that fall into this category of establishments which operate in Brasov city. Key words: boutique hotels, hotel market, customer segments, global hotel groups. J.E.L. classification: L83, M21, M31. 1. Introduction The diversity of tourists’ needs and preferences materializes in designing distinct tourism products and services aimed to satisfy tourist demand more accurately expressed. At the same time, it is well known that tourism is just another part of our consumer society, being affected by all the social trends which affect all consumer markets, albeit in different ways, and like other industries, it influences general consumer behavior to some degree (Horner et al, 2004, p.22). Nowadays, the hotel market highlights the significant differences in consumption, in terms of tariffs, the comfort level of the offer, the variety of expectations, the diversity of travel motivations, etc.
