Small Hotels vs. Large Resorts:
There are numerous small, charming hotels in Mexico that offer their guests a wonderful experience with superior service and amenities. Smaller hotels offer some advantages over large resorts: you’re more likely to receive personalized service and have an authentic local experience. Small hotels have a charm you’re unlikely to find in a larger hotel. Finding the right small hotel for you and making a reservation can be more complicated than booking a larger resort, however, and choosing a hotel that is associated with a brand name can feel like a safer choice.
Mexico Boutique Hotels Makes it Easy:
This is where Mexico Boutique Hotels comes in. This is a collection of around 35 small, independent hotels in 26 different destinations throughout Mexico. These hotels are carefully selected by the Mexico Boutique Hotels team. All are intimate in size, with fewer than 50 rooms. They all offer comfortable accommodations, excellent amenities, and outstanding service, but each is unique in terms of design, decor, and character. The hotels in the collection are very varied, and range from rustic beachfront properties to restored haciendas in the countryside, to centrally located elegant colonial buildings.
Each of the Mexico Boutique Hotels is a unique gem with an interesting story behind it. Casa Sandra on Isla Holbox is owned by Cuban artist Sandra Perez. Her artistic flair is evident in the hotel’s decor: all the guestrooms and public areas of the hotel are decorated with original works of art. Hacienda Los Laureles in Oaxaca is built on the grounds of a former coffee and corn plantation; its original structure dates back to the early 1900s but the hotel’s owner has brought a European sensibility to the hotel’s design, with its lovely solarium and beautifully landscaped gardens. Cantera Diez, in the heart of Morelia, is located in a 17th Century mansion that was restored to create an elegant hotel with modern comforts but retaining all the charm of the building’s past.
Mexico Boutique Hotels was founded in 1999. It is the product of a desire to get the word out about these wonderful small hotels and to bring them the attention they deserve. The company assists the hotels with marketing and public relations, and acts as a bridge with clients. The Director of Mexico Boutique Hotels, Sylvie Laitre, is originally from Canada and speaks English, French and Spanish. Sylvie and her team specialize in Mexico and are dedicated to providing an outstanding service. Besides knowing and understanding Mexico, they’re also savvy about what travelers want and expect.
Mexico Boutique Hotels takes the guesswork out of selecting and booking a small hotel. Their website contains information about each of the hotels and the destinations where they’re located, as well as information about deals and special packages. To help guests choose the right hotel for their budget and taste, each of the hotels is assigned a few designations that describe it such as luxurious, sophisticated, eclectic, rustic, or casual, so you know what kind of experience to expect. You can book any of the hotels directly through the Mexico Boutique Hotels website, which is clear and easy to navigate.
One of the special touches offered by Mexico Boutique Hotels is a personalized concierge service. Before departure, guests receive an e-mail with information about what to pack, the kind of weather to expect at their destination, and offering assistance in booking any additional services. This lets guests know that they’re expected and makes them feel welcome. It also lets them know that there’s someone they can contact should they encounter any difficulties.
My experience with Mexico Boutique Hotels has been overwhelmingly positive and I highly recommend them. Sylvie and her team are responsive and helpful and the hotels in the collection are all beautiful, comfortable and interesting.
