This article examines the benefits of choosing a heritage as the venue of the boutique hotel. Based on the literature review, the first step is to determine the typical characteristics of the boutique hotel and the heritage and then find a link between the boutique hotel and heritage buildings. Findings show that the benefit of adopting heritage can highlight the uniqueness of a boutique hotel, which enhances the hotel's attractiveness to guests when choosing a hotel to stay into consideration.
