Alternative Types of Hotels
Are you bored of staying in plain old hotel rooms with standard features and no personality? Want to add some character to your next romantic getaway or just fancy something different for your next trip? Well there are lots of alternative types of accommodation that you may not know about that could give your next trip that spice it needed. You could choose from a selection of alternative types of hotels, depending on what you are looking for, to suit your needs. Here is a rundown of some of the less well-known hotel types and the benefits each brings.
Apartment Hotel
An apartment hotel is basically an apartment that gets serviced regularly and it runs a hotel-style booking system. However an apartment hotel is similar to renting an apartment with the main difference being that there isn’t a fixed term for the length of stay so guests choose how long they want to stay. This is a useful type of rental for those who are unsure of their length of stay and want a comfortable living space while they are in-between places.
Hotel Barge
If you are looking for something different for your vacation, then a hotel barge provides one of the most unique experiences a hotel can offer. Hotel barges combine a small quality hotel with the benefits of travelling on a boat. A benefit of this type of hotel for travellers is that your hotel travels with you, often stopping at set tourist locations to allow guests to get off and explore the canal side attractions. Hotel barges usually feature single cabins with some extending to double rooms for couples and may be seen as an alternative version of romantic country hotels.
Boutique Hotel
Boutique hotels scream luxury and personality. Boutique hotels are unique because they are decorated and furnished in a themed or stylish manner and are usually considerably smaller than mainstream hotels. This is because a boutique hotel takes care to personalise the experience for their guests, focusing on offering their services in a comfortable, intimate, and welcoming setting. Often staff will remember guest’s names and there is an element of trust. Honesty bars are something that can be commonly found in boutique hotels and are hard to find anywhere else, the difference with this bar is that there is no staff to tend the bar, with customers being left to keep a record of their own drink consumption.
What are you waiting for? You can find plenty of boutique hotels and luxury hotels online so there’s nothing stopping you from booking your special holiday.
