Benjamin Vaschetti, founder of luxury and lifestyle concierge company Mason Benjamin that services ultra-high-net-worth individuals, says his global roster of clients prefer boutique hotels to disconnect from business or technology."I'm a firm believer that avoiding brand or chain hotels-even the most luxurious five stars -helps clients lose track of time," he says."They don't want to see familiar branding, business-centric conference areas, or welcome protocols, like a gigantic lobby or an overload of staff. They just want privacy and to immerse themselves in a hotel that offers a sense of place. Sometimes that means embracing a bit of imperfection.” The Digital Party
