[[Boutique hotel]]s are typically hotels with a unique environment or intimate setting.
Some hotels have gained their renown through tradition, by hosting significant events or persons, such as Schloss [[Cecilienhof]] in [[Potsdam]], Germany, which derives its fame from the [[Potsdam Conference]] of the [[World War II]] allies [[Winston Churchill]], [[Harry Truman]] and [[Joseph Stalin]] in 1945.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Schloss Cecilienhof - Cecilienhof Palace |url=http://www.potsdam.de/node/276259 |work=Landeshauptstadt Potsdam |date=3 December 2004 |access-date=23 October 2015 |archive-date=26 November 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151126002306/http://www.potsdam.de/node/276259 |url-status=live }}</ref> The [[Taj Mahal Palace & Tower]] in [[Mumbai]] is one of India's most famous and historic hotels because of its association with the [[Indian independence movement]]. Some establishments have given name to a particular meal or beverage, as is the case with the [[Waldorf-Astoria Hotel|Waldorf Astoria]] in [[New York City]], United States where the [[Waldorf Salad]] was first created or the [[Hotel Sacher]] in [[Vienna]], Austria, home of the [[Sachertorte]]. Others have achieved fame by association with dishes or cocktails created on their premises, such as the [[Hotel de Paris]] where the [[crêpe Suzette]] was invented or the [[Raffles Hotel]] in [[Singapore]], where the [[Singapore Sling]] cocktail was devised.<ref>{{cite news |first=Colin |last=Campbell |title=Singapore Journal; Back to Somerset Maugham and Life's Seamy Side |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1982/12/12/travel/singapore-sling-is-spoken-here.html |location=Singapore |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=12 December 1982 |access-date=11 February 2019 |page=6 |archive-date=9 November 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191109180112/https://www.nytimes.com/1982/12/12/travel/singapore-sling-is-spoken-here.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

A number of hotels have entered the public consciousness through popular culture, such as the [[The Ritz London Hotel|Ritz Hotel]] in [[London]], through its association with [[Irving Berlin|Irving Berlin's]] song, "[[Puttin' on the Ritz]]". The [[Algonquin Hotel]] in New York City is famed as the meeting place of the literary group, the [[Algonquin Round Table]], and [[Hotel Chelsea]], also in New York City, has been the subject of a number of songs and the scene of the stabbing of [[Nancy Spungen]] (allegedly by her boyfriend [[Sid Vicious]]).
