Boutique hotel interiors
Boutique hotel interior design, room by room.
Bedrooms and suites that feel residential and warm, not standard hospitality, and stand up to constant guest use. Twenty years of considered work, phased around your trading calendar.
What boutique hotel interior design covers
Bedrooms and suites, drawn for guests and for wear.
Boutique hotel interior design is the work of shaping guest bedrooms and suites so they feel personal and beautiful whilst meeting contract standards for durability, cleaning and fire. Ilze Reinke Interiors specifies, sources and installs every layer as one accountable service.
Guest bedrooms and suites
The heart of boutique hotel work. Rooms drawn to feel residential and warm, with the layout, comfort and storage a paying guest actually notices and remembers.
Rooms that feel like a home, not a chain
FF&E and contract specification
Furniture, fixtures and equipment specified to contract grade for wear, fire and cleaning, then sourced at trade and tracked to the room.
Soft furnishings and lighting
Curtains, blinds, upholstery, bed dressing and layered lighting, made and fitted by trusted workrooms for a finished, considered feel.
Styling and finishing
Art, accessories and the final styling layer, placed so every room photographs well and reads as a complete, premium stay.
How refurbishment works around occupancy
Refurbished in phases, so the hotel keeps trading.
A boutique hotel refurbishment cannot close the doors. The work is planned in phases, room by room or floor by floor, so guests are never turned away and revenue keeps flowing. A designer led programme protects the brand, the budget and the trading calendar at once.

|---|---|---|
| Feel of the rooms | Uniform, off the shelf, reads as a chain | ✓ Residential and warm, designed around real guests |
| Specification | Lowest cost meets the contract minimum | ✓ Contract grade for wear, fire and cleaning, chosen with care |
| Trading impact | Whole wings closed for the duration | ✓ Phased around occupancy, the hotel keeps trading |
| Procurement | Many suppliers for the operator to chase | ✓ One schedule, sourced at trade, tracked to the room |
| Accountability | Split across contractors and buyers | ✓ One studio answerable for the finished room |
A considered scheme, contract grade specification, and a phased programme.
Ilze Reinke Interiors has delivered boutique hotel work at Ellenborough Park in Cheltenham, in the heart of the Cotswolds, and at Lea Marston in Warwickshire, both named with permission. The brief in each case asked for bedrooms and suites that feel residential and warm rather than standard hospitality, whilst standing up to constant guest use. The studio handled specification, trade procurement and installation as one accountable service, phased so the property kept trading throughout. Across a typical refurbishment of fifty thousand to one hundred thousand pounds, this single point of contact tends to protect both the budget and the brand, because pieces are ordered once, correctly, and rooms are returned to service on schedule. Every figure is agreed before a single order is placed, so the spend stays visible from the start.
Deposit to begin
A clear, simple structure. Fifty per cent to start the work, the balance on completion. No surprises in between.
Hospitality and residential
The same care, a very different brief.
A boutique hotel is led by durability, guest experience and a programme that works around occupancy. A family home is led by how people actually live. The thread that runs through both is design shaped around personality, not fashion.
Contract grade, guest ready, phased to your calendar
Specification that meets contract standards for wear, fire and cleaning, sourced and installed in phases so trading is never fully interrupted and the brand is lifted, not diluted.
Built around personality, family and lifestyle
The residential instinct that makes hotel rooms feel personal. Pieces chosen to suit how people live, comfort and longevity first, the budget steered toward what earns its place.
Named work
Twenty years of rooms that were delivered, not just drawn.

Interiors shaped around personality, family and lifestyle, not fashion.
Ilze Reinke, founder
A boutique hotel lives or dies on how a room feels at the end of a long day. After twenty years, the difference we offer is not a longer mood board. It is rooms that feel personal, hold up to constant use, and come back into service on time.
Questions, answered
Boutique hotel interior design, in plain terms.
A boutique hotel interior designer shapes the guest experience through the bedrooms, suites and shared spaces, balancing how a room feels against how it wears. Ilze Reinke Interiors specifies, sources and installs the furniture, lighting, soft furnishings and finishing as one accountable service, so a single studio is responsible for rooms that feel residential and warm whilst meeting contract standards for durability, fire and cleaning.
Yes, and it usually should. The work is planned in phases, room by room or floor by floor, so guests are never turned away and revenue keeps flowing. We map the programme around your occupancy and quieter seasons, then return each room to service finished and guest ready, keeping the trading impact as low as the brief allows.
Yes. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are specified to contract grade, sourced at trade and tracked to the room as part of the same service. There is a design fee for the creative and technical work, then trade sourcing with a procurement margin of forty per cent or more on items handled for you. Every figure is agreed before any order is placed.
