There's something just oh so sweet about the word boutique. It's fun, a little charming, and just that right Goldilocks amount foreign in its ring to excite interest. Avi Brosh, the man behind the wildly popular Palihotel on Melrose and Palihouse in Santa Monica, has reimagined the experience of the boutique hotel, creating spaces designed in such a way that guests find themselves no longer simply visitors, yet neighbors - a residential community of travelers.
