I'll admit that when I get emails from places with the self-described label "boutique hotel," I get ready to hit the delete button. They tend to be stylish and expensive, right? It's not the most obvious category to find a bargain, but they do exist. Many provide top values in prime locations. Read my review of Seattle's Paramount Hotel and consider how style and value can combine to make your trip investment more worthwhile.
