The Best Luxury Boutique Hotels in the UK I Cool Places

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.

FAQs: Luxury Boutique Stays

What can I expect in a boutique hotel?

Boutique hotels tend to be smaller and more intimate than most hotels, yet are a step up form a guesthouse or B&B and may well have their own restaurant and bar as well as other facilities – but on a smaller scale. They are less likely to be part of a chain, and are usually committed to providing a more bespoke and attentive service for their guests – although there are a few small hotel groups that always deliver, for example Artist Residence, whose handful of quirky boutique UK hotels are always fun and always welcoming and comfortable.

What are the features of a boutique hotel?

Mostly it’s about size and service. However, boutique hotels re more likely to be chic places that are very focused on up-to-the-minute style. Guest rooms well be individually decorated, with each room different, and if they have a restaurant, then it is likely to be one that serves good quality, locally sourced food. Boutique hotel tend to be very on-trend and as a result more targeted at couples than families. Here’s one that we love – The Cookie Jar: beautifully decorated, in a great location in the historic Northumberland town of Alnwick, and where the owners go the extra mile to make your stay special. Or how about Ingleside House in the Cotswolds, a super-stylish hotel of just 11 rooms with its own bar, restaurant and occasional live music.

What makes a boutique hotel special?

Boutique hotels tend to go the extra mile for their guests and just staying in one is likely to make you feel special and not at all anonymous as is the case at many large chain hotels. Your room will likely be unique, the staff are more likely to remember your name, and the restaurant and bar cosy and sleek at the same time. Some of the best boutique choices are updates of historic hotels, gussied up for the 21st-century, with good food and stylish guest rooms – for example the lovely and very welcoming Angel at Abergavenny in Wales.
