To me, ’boutique’ hotel means no desk to work at. The last boutique hotel I stayed at had a single socket in the main room and just one more in the bathroom. Since my phone was plugged into the single socket in the bedroom, I had to charge my Apple Watch overnight by plugging it into the other socket above the toilet and resting the watch on the cistern. In the morning I woke to find my brand new Apple Watch had fallen off the toilet, landed on the hard floor and cracked the screen 🙁
I’m happy to stick with the chain hotels.
Except that the chains are also removing work desks. Especially new hotels.
Then I’ll simply avoid any of those, since I hardly ever take a trip that doesn’t involve some degree of remote working.
