 Boutique is a french word for small specialist upscale shop, as opposed to a large department store. This definition has been adopted in the hotel industry to describe those hotels that are not part of large chain with standardized features and looks. In fact a boutique hotel must be unique in its style, decor and character and are usually small in size. Boutique hotels are popping up in more and more destinations and it is probably the most important phenomenon in the hotel industry since the establishment of franchise hotel chains (Howard Johnson and Holiday Inn being the pioneers) back in the 50's and 60's.

Miami Beach, FL, September 18, 2007 – Epoque & Avantgarde Hotels was an exhibitor at the 6th Annual Miami International Wine Fair, held at Miami Beach Convention Center - Hall A, from September 8-10th 2007. Since the summer 2001, Florida has experienced a boom both in terms of population growth and in terms of wine consumption. As wine became more and more fashionable in the mentality of Florida residents, a new happening took off, the Miami Wine Fair, an appointment that in 6 years has become the largest wine expo in the state and one of the top five events in North America.
Wine lovers have the great opportunity to taste hundreds of wines from every major wine producing country in the world. In total more than 5,000 people visited the Wine Fair and tasted the nearly 1,000 wines coming from 15 different countries. All was matched with the most exquisite culinary delights served by some of South Florida’s finest restaurants.
Epoque & Avantgarde Hotels was one of the main sponsors for this event and had a booth set up for the duration of the convention. Other than sampling - with moderation - some of the most coveted wines in the world, the Epoque & Avantgarde Hotels staff operated at the booth all three days, handing out brochures, answering questions and promoting its enticing collection of boutique hotels.
One of the largest wine exhibits in the USA, the Miami International Wine Fair has become the leading commercial platform for boutique wineries from around the world with limited-production wines available only in a handful of fine restaurants and dedicated retail shops. It was a unique opportunity to present the Epoque & Avantgarde Hotels collection to those who understand class when they see it.
