LE GERMAIN HOTELS
PIONEERED THE BOUTIQUE-HOTEL
CONCEPT IN CANADA
BOUTIQUE HOTELS ARE DESIGNED TO SATISFY CUSTOMERS
PASSIONATE ABOUT DESIGN, QUALITY, AND COMFORT.
Contrary to what the name implies, a boutique hotel is not a hotel where one
can find boutiques. We often speak of the feeling when we want to describe
boutique hotels, but the concept is defined mainly by:
Personalized service – a key difference – every need is anticipated and clients
are treated as guests
The average size of the establishment – generally fewer than 150 rooms
Architecture and design – unique architecture, luxurious, stylish and simple
design with an attention to detail and decor that offers an intimate atmosphere
An urban location – hotels located in major cities and in vibrant and trendy
neighbourhoods
“We provide personalized
services and quality.
Authenticity is reflected
in who we are and
what we offer.”
— Christiane Germain
24 GR O U P G E R MA I N H O T E L SBOUTIQUE-HOTEL
CONCEPT
Emerging during the 1980s in New York City, the boutique-hotel niche market
experienced a boom in the 1990s. This type of hotel fills the gap in the market
left by the standardization typical of large hotel chains. In contrast, each boutique
establishment develops a unique style based on a concept and a personality
of its own. Each Le Germain Hotel bears a distinctive signature, that is to say,
each has a different lobby in terms of the look and the architecture. It’s the same
for the rooms and public areas in the hotels.
