The hospitality landscape is shifting, and boutique hotels need to evolve to stay competitive. We’re working with hotel owners to strike the perfect balance between traditional service and modern, tech-driven efficiency. Not every hotel needs to operate like an STR, but those that adapt the best elements are seeing stronger margins and happier guests. How do you see boutique hotels evolving in the next five years? Let’s discuss!

?? Hot Take: How Boutique Hotels Can Compete with Short-Term Rentals Boutique hotels aren’t losing to Airbnbs. They’re losing to their own outdated business models. I’ve spent my career in?hotels, then moved into?vacation rentals, and now at?Recreation Stays, we’re working to bridge the gap between the two. I’ve seen firsthand how?short-term rentals have forced hotels to rethink operations, but the reality is, boutique hotels still have a huge advantage—if they adapt. Many boutique hotel owners tell me they feel squeezed between rising costs, changing guest expectations, and the increasing dominance of Airbnb. Of course, not every hotel can or should adopt this model—high-touch luxury properties or experience-driven hotels may require a different approach—but for many boutique hotels, adapting elements of STR operations can be a game-changer. But here’s what I’ve learned:?hotels don’t need to become Airbnbs—they just need to borrow what works. Some key takeaways: ??Self-Service Efficiency?– Guests don’t want friction at check-in. Smart locks & mobile check-in aren’t a downgrade—they’re an upgrade. ??Dynamic Pricing?– STR hosts adjust rates daily—hotels need to play the same game to stay competitive. ??Direct Bookings & Storytelling?– The best Airbnb hosts create compelling brands. Boutique hotels should be just as intentional about direct bookings. ??Tech-Enabled Operations?– STRs thrive on automation. Boutique hotels can be more profitable by?optimizing staffing & using tech wisely. ??The Right Service Model?– Some guests want high-touch service, but many prefer a?seamless, unseen?service model. The key is balancing efficiency with great guest experience. The question is, how do you do this? At?Recreation Stays, we?manage boutique hotels,?innovating in the space to find the balance between traditional hospitality and modern, tech-enabled operations. The hotels that thrive are the ones that embrace change—not the ones clinging to outdated models. We're leveraging the best of STR operations while ensuring hotels retain their unique hospitality identity. ?? The line between hotels and short-term rentals is blurring, and the hospitality landscape is shifting fast. What do you think—should boutique hotels embrace more STR-style operations? And are guests ready for it? Drop your thoughts in the comments!

What is the Airbnb-Hotel Hybrid Model & Why Is It Growing? The hotel vs. Airbnb debate is over—because they’re merging into something new. At?Recreation Stays, we’ve been watching this shift unfold in real time. The rise of?Airbnb-hotel hybrid properties—hotels that operate like short-term rentals and STRs that function like boutique hotels—is changing the landscape of hospitality. Why is this model taking off? ??Guests want the best of both worlds?– The space & uniqueness of an Airbnb + the consistency & service of a hotel. ??Owners are shifting their strategies?– Hybrid models generate higher revenue while keeping operations lean. ??Regulations are tightening?– Many cities are limiting short-term rentals, making this hybrid model a?smart, scalable, and legal alternative. This isn’t just a trend—it’s the?next wave of hospitality.?We’ve already helped owners transition their boutique hotels into?high-margin, "unseen service" operations?that blend STR flexibility with hotel consistency. ??? Have you seen this shift happening in boutique hotels? Would love to hear from others in the industry—what’s your take?
