They are handled well where there exists a critical mass - i'm thinking the NYC forum, but in the main there is very little discussion on FT relating to boutique hotels.
The bulk of the properties I chose to stay at fall under the category of boutique or design hotels and I struggle to find a place on FT to report my experiences and share my view of these properties. The Luxury Hotels forum is an interesting point of reference. It fills a niche and does so magnificently - well trafficked and vibrant. Question is, can a boutique/design hotel forum fill a niche currently untapped and flourish as the Luxury Hotels forum has? I believe it can.
