With experiential travel in high demand, the future remains bright for boutique hotels, according to EVT Director of Hotels and Resorts, Norman Arundel.
In an era where consumers are under increased cost-of-living pressures, the boutique hotel sector remains a vibrant and expanding part of the hospitality landscape. At EVT Hotels & Resorts, we are witnessing firsthand that the demand for boutique accommodation offerings is not only holding steady but continuing to grow.
The appeal of boutique hotels lies in their ability to offer unique, personalised experiences that elevate holidays and business travel into memorable occasions. Despite the current economic pressures, many consumers are prioritising spending on special experiences, often choosing boutique hotels for their charm, individuality, and the sense of exclusivity they provide.
EVT is proud to be actively expanding our higher end boutique hotel portfolio with distinguished properties such as The Old Clare and Harbour Rocks Hotels in Sydney, The Inchcolm in Brisbane, as well as the recently added Alex Hotel in Perth. These additions not only enhance our overall EVT Hotels & Resorts offering, but also reflect our commitment to maintaining the highest standards in boutique hospitality.
Equally important is our dedication to the mid-market segment, where we are making strides with The Ultimo in Sydney, the newly refurbished Pensione Perth, and Hotel Motel in Adelaide. These properties exemplify how boutique hotels can cater to diverse budgets while still delivering exceptional, unique experiences.
The future for boutique hotels is bright. With ongoing investments in both luxury and mid-market segments, EVT Hotels & Resorts is poised for continued growth in this dynamic sector, fulfilling the desires of travellers seeking both uniqueness and value in their stays.
