What boutique hotels in the world are worth recommending?

currently working for Abercrombie &; Kent Hong Kong Branch's Special Interest Department is dedicated to directly contacting VVIP customers and tailor－made the travel experience according to customers' needs, and is responsible for the specific implementation. Among the more famous customers, there is probably a stepmother of one of the top five Forbes global rich lists, and a black pop singer who was recently criticized on the Internet for his wife's ass. As the basic quality requirement of customized tourism planning, it is necessary to make itinerary recommendations according to the characteristics, needs and hobbies of guests. Among them, as the top priority in high-end customized tourism-the hotel is naturally.

Boutique Hotel, which originally refers to a small clothing and accessories store run by fashion buyers in French, was originally a totally irrelevant word with Hotel, but it was abruptly merged into a piece to create a new concept. In fact, before, many people in the industry were trying to give a precise definition to the Boutique Hotel through specific indicators, such as the number of rooms is less than 5, the specific hotel design theme, the ratio of service personnel to guests is 1:1, the room size, hotel facilities, etc ... Then, since this concept that sounds like a gimmick was seen by China people, countless boutique hotels have sprung up in mainland China, one by one, actually selling them. In fact, the so-called Boutique Hotel is like a blind man touching the elephant inside, which always has an indescribable meaning. In fact, there has never been a recognized standard in the industry to define what a Boutique Hotel is, and everyone only hears its voice but doesn't see its person, so it's no different from those blind people. You touch your thigh and say that this fellow is so tall and strong that it must be a boutique hotel, but he touches his ear and says that if it is soft and boneless, like a cattail leaf fan, it will win the essence of the boutique hotel ... In short, it's fair and square.

So, the Boutique Hotel is actually a concept of knowing what it is, but I don't know why. Although I can't help define any Boutique Hotels, I can tell with great confidence that those hotels are real Boutique Hotels-it is precisely because of their appearance that they constantly refresh the limits of the hotel industry and write a new definition for the boutique hotels with their own existence.

Asia-Aman Resorts

The best hotel in the world is Aman, and the best hotel in Aman is in Asia.

Amankila

what is aman? What is a boutique hotel? What is aman? Anman is the benchmark of the whole industry.

as a leader in boutique hotels, aman has defined boutique hotels since the first Amanpuri in phuket in 1988. Aman means "peace" in Urdu, and every Amman is interpreting this brand concept of luxury, low-key, elegant, natural, peaceful and quiet. At present, Anman Group has 27 luxury boutique hotels with different styles all over the world, serving only 14, top-end customers in the world, and the average room price is basically maintained at around 5, RMB per night. Unlike other luxury hotel groups in the world, Aman always insists on a small but refined route. Generally, each Aman has only 2 or 3 suite and more than 1 villas.

There are local children dressed to welcome guests at the entrance of Amandari, Bali.

Aman's luxury is nowhere to be found, and most of the hotels choose locations. Secondly, An Man has his own team of top designers in the world, such as Jean Michel Cathy or Peter Muller, all of whom are famous. Designers integrate their own understanding of the culture, architecture and history of the region into their own design concepts, forming a unique style of each hotel. The details are the key to success. No matter from interior decoration, furniture accessories to bedding, An Man has done his best.

Some people call themselves Aman Junkie, the so-called "fans" of Aman. After meeting each other, they compete for who has lived in Aman more. Among them, Aman's service level is amazing to other luxury hotels. In Aman, the ratio of employees to customers is generally around 6:1, and the most classic rumor is that Aman will send people to pour cold water on the hot private beach basked in the sun every day, but when the guests are specially sent by the driver, they can't see any figure, only a well-supported sun between the vast heaven and the earth.

At present, Anman has two stores in China, Beijing Yihe and Hangzhou Fayun, five in Indonesia, one in Phuket, one in Laos, one in Cambodia, one in Vietnam, one in Japan, five in Bhutan (but under the same name), two in India, one in the Philippines, and others. Another point that Aman is different from other hotels is that Aman Hotel will provide a series of free itineraries for its guests, including going to the local market to buy food with the hotel chef and then coming back to the hotel for a local cooking class (amandari), or chartering the hotel's own yacht to go diving (amanwana).

Africa- Beyond

I am with you because I choose to be with you instead of living in other people's way-&; Beyond

Tanzania &; Dining table at Beyond Ngorongoro Crater &

Every year, Condé Nast Traveler, the world's best luxury travel magazine, will select the Top5 most luxurious hotels in the world, and&; Beyond company can generally account for more than one-tenth of them by relying on its own top luxury camps in Africa.

In Africa, it is relatively easy to choose a boutique hotel, without considering room size, service quality and hotel facilities. Just be optimistic-always choose the most expensive one-in Africa, the most expensive one is&; Beyond, and the best is only & Beyond. As a region with particularly remarkable tourism seasonality, whether it is Tanzania, the Serengeti and Masai Mara in East Africa where Kenya is located, or the Delta region of Zimbabwe, Botswana and South Africa,&; Beyond's luxury camps generally cost around $1,1, per person, per night. This is not the most exaggerated. At the most exaggerated time, the Chief‘s Camp, which has been chartered by various local tyrants all the year round, and the camps that go against the sky in Singita, the price can reach 2,2 dollars per person per night, and it is often in a state of no market. In fact, it's normal to think about it. There are only a dozen rooms/tents in these &, and there are only five or six less. On the contrary, there are so many local tyrants in the world ...

South Africa & Beyond Phinda Homestead's swimming pool

is so expensive for only one reason-location. To say that compared with luxurious room interiors and imperial service enjoyment, a good location has a great influence on a camp-just because the whole meaning of traveling in Africa is only about one word-－Safari. In Swahili, the meaning of hunting patrol originated from the behavior of British colonists who came to East Africa in the late 19th century to hunt five African tyrants (rhinoceros, elephant, lion, buffalo, cheetah) and then camped everywhere. Nowadays, although modern people have replaced shotguns with cameras, the word Safari has been preserved and continued. For top camps, this location largely determines the distance between guests and wildlife. Generally speaking, the top camps will be set in the core areas of each protected area, and then the camps will not only have no guardrails for wild animals to roam freely, but also specially build drinking points to attract animals. What's more, even when you have dinner, you need someone to accompany you to the restaurant, and then after dinner, you can send it back to your room and lock the door immediately and never come out again.

In Africa, actually, compared with the fixed luxury camps, there is a so-called tent under the starry sky. Because of the restrictions of laws and practical conditions in many protected areas, the luxury camps with the best location can only be set on the edge of the protected areas as far as possible, but they are still relatively far from the hinterland. In order to solve the contradiction between the growing material and cultural needs of local tyrants and backward production, the industrious and brave African people invented this luxury mobile camp. That is to say, one day before the guests arrive, according to the guest's itinerary, people will be sent to build this luxury tent with nearly 5 square meters from scratch in the hinterland of the reserve, and when the guests arrive, they will bring a huge team providing a series of services from chefs, guides, guards to servants. When you leave the next morning, the huge camp will be dismantled and transported to the next place to camp and wait for a new group of guests.

&; Beyond was originally established in Londonlozi private animal sanctuary in South Africa in 1991, and now it has 33 luxury & in many countries in Asia and Africa. Beyond is unique in that the company has always emphasized the concept of Sustainable Development. On the one hand, it relies on operating luxury camps to earn revenue, on the other hand, it helps local people improve their welfare and supports wildlife and environmental protection through these revenues. For example, most of the staff in each camp are from nearby villages. & Beyond's best & are Crater Lodge in Ngorongoro Crater Reserve (the place with the most concentrated wildlife in East Africa), and a private island on the coast of Zanzibar &; Beyond Mnembi Island (known as the best beach and diving place in Africa), and finally &; Beyond the base camp in Phinda Private Game Reserve in south Africa (extremely luxurious, even each villa is equipped with a butler).

America-Explora

Memory is a road with no return, and all the past spring can't be recovered. Even the most fanatical and loyal love boils down to the fact that the earth is just a fleeting reality. Only solitude and eternity-Explora

Explora Patagonia

three hotels under the rock corner of Chile's Hundred-Hundred-Year Plateau, a philosophy-as the most unique and maverick in the luxury tourism session, Explora has been holding the position of the top hotel operators in the southern hemisphere since its establishment in 1989, although it is located in three corners of a corner of South America. In the past 25 years, however, it has been ranked first in all kinds of fashion travel magazines and luxury travel publications recommended by South American hotels all the year round (Argentina's Ecocamp is too biased and neglected for the time being). There are no other reasons. Three hotels located at the "end of the world", more than 1 rich travel experience and extremely simple but luxurious high-tech hotels have created Explora's sentence-We have called our philosophy of travel.

The swimming pool of Explora Atacama Hotel in Atacama Desert

The so-called "end of the world" refers to these three locations:

1. Located at the southernmost tip of the Andes, Pantagonia Torres Del Paint National Park, glacier snow-capped mountains and waterfalls in the embrace of Minghu Lake have the most shocking mountain scenery and one of the best hiking routes in the world (of course, it can't be compared with the snowman trail in Bhutan).

2. Atacama Desert, the northernmost part of Chile, with an altitude of 2,442 meters, is known as the world's drought pole, which has never bathed a drop of rain for thousands of years. It is cool in the daytime and cold at night, and there is no trace of life in the vast wasteland, but it is also the best star-watching spot in the world. Whenever night falls, the sky is like a vault, and the cage covers four fields. The vast night sky is full of stars and a huge galaxy that runs through it.

3. In the vast South Pacific Ocean, 3, kilometers away from the sea west of Chile, there are hundreds of mysterious giant stone statues looking silently into the distance. One of the cradles of the world's mysteries-Easter Island

Explora has the nickname of "Aman in adventure tourism". As a hotel established by a group of outdoor adventure enthusiasts, the most essential part is its various adventure journeys that are closely related to nature, from galloping in the desert (Explora Atacama has its own horse pen), or climbing the glacier on foot with the guide in Explora Patagonia. Or join the Tapati Festival of Rapa Nui, a native of Easter Island, in mid-February, and participate in many festivals such as spear throwing, skiing, dancing, parade, food exhibition and so on with the locals during the 15-day festival. The three hotels in Explora are generally around $1,5 per night, but this price includes three meals a day and daily sightseeing activities, so it is still worth the fare.
