Luxury Boutique Hotels in the UK
Time was you had to check yourself into a five-star hotel for a bit of luxury, but these days there are boutique hotels all over the UK – large and small – that increasingly go the extra mile for guests, with artisan toiletries, king-sized beds, fluffy robes, Nespresso machines and roll-top baths all helping make your stay just that bit more special. What's boutique, we hear you say? Well we reckon you'll know it when you see it – from a larger hotel whose rooms have been given a stylish makeover to small, highly personal places that straddle the fine line between upscale B&B and full-on hotel. Maybe there'll be designer fabrics and original art, or perhaps your idea of boutique is mismatched antique furniture, bold colour schemes or retro decor? Our guide to the best boutique hotels in the UK covers all angles, so if you're looking for a stylish weekend away with all the comforts and service of a great hotel, look no further.
