What actually makes a hotel 'boutique'?

Inside our 38-point vetting process for adding a property to the StayNexus network.

We get asked this constantly: what makes you reject a property? The short answer is that 'boutique' isn't about size — it's about character, consistency, and the small details only the team running a property can deliver.

"The best stays don't happen by accident. They happen because someone, somewhere, sweated the small stuff."
