If you’re going on a long business trip, boutique hotels have everything you need. The personal touches, on-site conveniences, and friendly staff will help to make your trip as comfortable as possible.

Here are five reasons you should consider staying at a boutique hotel the next time you travel for business:

1. The personal touch

Boutique hotels are a great way to get a feel for the city you’re visiting. These hotels are often small, locally owned, and staffed by people who truly know the area. This means that you will get personalized service from staff members who know your name and where you’re from. You won't be just another customer; you'll be treated like a guest in their home.

2. Quiet, comfortable atmosphere

They are often quieter than larger chain hotels as there are fewer rooms. With less noise, you’ll be able to get work done at the hotel if you need and you’ll be able to get plenty of rest. The rooms themselves tend to provide good working conditions, or there are other quiet places around the hotel where you can set up and enjoy a view while you work.

3. Business services and facilities

Boutique hotels offer a range of services to help you work efficiently such as Internet access, desks, charging stations, private areas and meeting rooms.

4. Amenities

Look for one with an exercise room, pool, spa, or other amenities that can help you keep fit and relax. It’s good to keep up an exercise routine while you travel. Exercising or enjoying a dip in the pool can be relaxing, too, and give you a break from work.

5. Location

You can often find one that is close to the center of activity but not right in the middle of it. There should be one close to where you are conducting business and close to plenty of activities, dining, and shopping. It may even be more convenient and lead to fewer distractions if you hold meetings at your hotel. There should be plenty of quiet places or meeting rooms available to conduct business.

If you are traveling to the Naples, FL, area for business, the Inn at Pelican Bay is an ideal spot. It has everything we mentioned and more. There’s free Wi-Fi, desks in the room or plenty of other quiet spots to do business, a boardroom and 24-hour business center. The fitness center is open 24 hours as well.

The Inn at Pelican Bay is nestled close to downtown and in the middle of plenty of dining and things to do but still quiet and comfortable.

The customer service is excellent, there’s friendly staff, a pool, meeting rooms and an exercise room where you can keep up with your Peloton classes. A bonus is the entire hotel, including each room, has air purification systems to help kill germs. The rooms are spacious, extremely clean, and comfortable. You’ll have everything you need for business and recreation.
