Boutique Hotels Eco Stays

The best boutique eco hotels, hand picked from Costa Rica to the Netherlands, where small scale design led stays pair intimate rooms with a low impact ethos.

Guide to Boutique Hotel

What it is
small, design led stays
With only a handful of rooms, the owners are usually on site, so waste, sourcing and energy decisions stay local and visible rather than buried in a corporate policy.
Best for
design and a personal welcome
A good fit when you would rather be a name than a room number, and want interiors with a point of view over identikit chain rooms.
Top destinations
Costa Rica, The Netherlands, Denmark
Costa Rica leads with owner run jungle and coastal boltholes, while The Netherlands and Denmark bring canal side and Nordic design stays with strong green credentials.
For the design minded
38 hand picked
Small, characterful stays where owners greet you by name
