Hippest Boutique Hotels in the South

Hippest Boutique Hotels in the South

Home away from home.
by Shen Mascariñas | August 09, 2016

Imagine star-ranked hotels’ hospitality and facilities, but with a more intimate, personalized and intricately-designed setting. That is the charm of boutique hotels. No room looks the same. You can look forward to distinct furnishings and a special ambiance—with every room providing a different experience. They’re smaller and generally more modest than normal hotels, but that also means more privacy and attention from the staff.

Sold? Head down south, and enjoy a lavish stay at these hip and beautiful, boutique hotels.
