There are so many incredible U.S. cities to visit. One of my favorite parts about traveling is staying in a new, unique boutique hotel. Boutique hotels tend to be smaller, more accommodating, and helpful in recommending non-touristy restaurants and local spots to enjoy during your stay. Below is a short list of 11 boutique hotels I have stayed in over the past 2 years. Depending on your travel style, I have suggested a mix of accommodations, from homey to hipster, modern to luxurious.
If you have any favorites you would like to suggest, please comment below-- I am always interested!
