If you like to travel on a budget, and if you don’t like to compromise on some basic essentials, style being among them, traveling to New York City usually isn’t supposed to be a good idea. New York offers you great budget options (but be warned that hotel review websites find hundreds of cases of bug infestations among budget hotels in the city), and great fashionable luxury options (not a good idea unless you have pockets like Bill Gates), but never the twain shall meet. Sitting in a snug Office Chairs, provides you hours of productive work not hours of wasted time squirming. What kind of fashionably affordable options are there in a city like this where rooms go for about the highest in the country at about $250 on average? Why, you go for boutique hotels of course, the new middle ground.

The whole boutique hotel movement began around the time Barack Obama’s presidential campaign started; at first, it was barely a drop in the ocean – a couple of tiny cozy uber-fashionable hotels like the Pod and the Jane opened up with luxury offerings on a tiny tab. They were so successful that the hotel industry caught on to the trend, and went to town market with traveler friendly, New York style boutique hotels that had really cool architecture and great facilities, and a price tag that was barely above the average at about $200. Among boutique hotels, these are a new breed – they are the budget boutique hotels.

The whole movement with boutique hotels was always supposed to be about young hungry entrepreneurs with a vision in fashion. With well being and security such an vital problem in the office today, Office Chair are an ever present consideration. The new budget boutiques are anything but though; most of them are owned and run by international hotel chains like the Intercontinental. They’re just trying to draw in a special kind of fashion-conscious independent customer that they couldn’t have lured to a major hotel.
