What is the meaning \/ definition of Lifestyle Hotel in the hospitality industry<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Similar to a boutique<\/a> or a luxury hotel<\/a>, a Lifestyle Hotel is not a \u2018proper hotel<\/a> category\u2019 but can be defined through specific characteristics. Those characteristics are similar to a boutique hotel<\/a>. They are both unique in their character and very distinctive. The attributes associated with a Lifestyle Hotel are: quirky, cutting-edge, avant-garde, trendy, funky, charming.<\/p>\n

The Boutique & Lifestyle Lodging<\/a> Association (BLLA), gives the following definition:<\/p>\n

\u2018Lifestyle hotels are the next generation of boutique<\/a> hotels. Driven by the chains, they borrow the best elements of boutiques \u2013 small, intimate and modern \u2013 and throw in advantages only a chain can offer, like loyalty perks, consistency and economies of scale. As a result, lifestyle hotels are generally more affordable and accessible than boutiques \u2013 and soon to be ubiquitous\u2019.<\/p>\n

Given this explanation we can say that lifestyle hotels are \u2018franchised\u2019 boutique hotels.<\/p>\n

According to a Delphi study (responses from diverse experts from the lodging industry<\/a>) \u2018boutique<\/a> hotels are best characterized as small, stylish hotels that offer high levels of service. Lifestyle hotels are described as innovative and provide more of a personal experience than so-called \u201cbranded\u201d hotels\u2019.<\/p>\n
