Online hotel booking merchant, Agoda, has released its list of top 10 boutique hotels within Southeast Asia to coincide with the start of the New Year.
 
Noting the continuing trend among travelers to choose boutique-style accommodation, Agoda CEO Michael Kenny commented, “When it comes to booking accommodation for a holiday – especially one in the tropics – many travelers choose chain hotels, because of their standardized rooms, services and facilities. However, an increasing number of travelers prefer to book smaller, personalized alternatives. Agoda’s analyses have indicated this trend is particularly evident among professional travelers between 25 to 40 years of age.”
