Hosting an event in a small boutique hotel offers a unique and intimate experience characterised by personalised service, exclusive use of space, and stylish settings. The smaller venues have a more intimate atmosphere allowing for closer connections among attendees, and the option for exclusive use ensures privacy.

Also, boutique hotels often have unique interiors, providing a distinctive backdrop for events. The mindfulness, collaboration with local businesses, and ease of coordination usually make the planning process smoother. So, here are our favourite small boutique venues across the UK:
