The UK's Best Kept Hotel Secrets

The UK offers some of the most popular and enriching holiday destinations in the entire world. Staying at the standard chain hotels can give one a terrible sense of sameness. Boutique hotels are an excellent way for visitors to experience a place not just as a dot on a map, but as a destination full of different sights, sounds, and ways of living.
 Here we'll share with you five of the UK's best topsecret hotels the tourists usually miss.
 *Thirty Two, Cotswolds
 Located in Cheltenham, Thirty Two is a slice of historical elegance in a beautiful natural setting. This five-star B&B is owned by a pair of former Londoners who run an interior design firm from the location, and it shows. All four rooms are elegantly decorated and immerse the guests in modern style combined with historical charm.
 *Baglioni Hotel, London
 Holidaymakers with a passion for culture will fall in love with Balioni's continental elegance and world-class service. Each of the 66 themed rooms are styled around music, history, and art. Baglioni offers a unique retreat for its guests close to the vibrant life and culture of London, making it one of the UK's most stylish topsecret hotels.
 *41, London
 This is by far one of the most stylish boutique establishments in London, and perhaps in the UK. While no two rooms in 41 are the same, they all have the consistent "black and white" theme carried out in each room in a unique way. Their theme is "no request is too big, and no detail is too small." It shows. Rooms feature modern conveniences such as iPod docks, and elegant luxuries such as scented candles and full fireplaces.
 *Carlton Riverside, Powys, Wales
 Far from the bright lights and bustle of London, Carlton Riverside is the "Restaurant with Rooms" in Llanwrtyd Wells, Wales, the UK's smallest town. This retreat offers a welcome getaway in the Welsh countryside combined with five star dining. Activities abound and the full staff at Carlton Riverside are more than willing to help guests with all the arrangements.
