Morgan House is a colonial mansion in Kalimpong, India and has been converted into a boutique hotel.


A boutique hotel is a small hotel which typically has between 10 and 100 rooms[1] in unique settings with upscale accommodations and individualized unique selling points (USPs). Boutique hotels were a popular style in the 1980s and 1990s.[2]



History


Boutique hotels began appearing in the 1980s in major cities like London, New York, and San Francisco. The term was coined by Steve Rubell in 1984 when he compared the Morgans Hotel, the first hotel he and Ian Schrager owned, to a boutique.[3]


A trend observed in recent times is for international hotel chains to establish luxury boutique sub-brands to capitalize on the growth of this segment.[4]



Description


Many boutique hotels are furnished in a themed, stylish and/or aspirational manner.[5] The popularity of the boutique concept has prompted some multi-national hotel companies to try to capture a market share.[5] In the United States, New York City remains an important centre for boutique hotels clustered about Manhattan.[6] Some members of the hospitality industry are following the general "no-frill chic" consumer trend, with affordable or budget boutique hotels being created all around the world.[7] Boutique hotels are found in London, New York City, Miami, and Los Angeles. They are also found in resort destinations with exotic amenities such as electronics, spas, yoga and/or painting classes.[8]
