The term 'Boutique Hotel' itself is one that became popularised in North America and the UK. The hustle and bustle of London was in fact was home to some of the world's first boutique hotels back in the 1980s.

At Grange Hotels, we offer a wide array of charming hotels to suit your needs. Many of the hotels in London we work with are boutique. However, many people aren’t actually sure what this term means and how a boutique hotel differs from a mainstream hotel.

Boutique hotels in London differ from larger branded hotels in the respect that they are often small, independent businesses. Hence, boutique hotels are generally unique and individual. They are often furnished in a themed manner, with many offering various 'themed' rooms, for example, there may be a luxury crimson pad for the hopeless romantics or a flower power room for the eco warriors.

Boutique hotels in London are often smaller than mainstream hotels, with many catering for 50-100 guests. Taking this into consideration, boutique hotels in London therefore offer a much more intimate and personalised guest experience, where you may get to know the staff on a first name basis.

The word 'quirky' is often associated with the word 'boutique', which is absolutely spot on. Boutique hotels specialise in being quirky, fun and creative environments, therefore if you enjoy doing something different, a break in a boutique hotel is definitely worth considering. The level of intimacy and individuality that they offer also makes them completely appropriate for romantic getaways that will never be forgotten.
