Why the name ‘Quintessence? The historic definition of “quintessence” refers to alchemy and the ancient belief that the universe was composed of four essential material elements – earth, air, fire and water – and a perfect fifth essence, representing purity, soul and spirit.
It is believed to be the substance of what heaven embodies. Our goal is to provide our guests with “the quintessential things of life”, all the elements to experience a lasting sense of well-being. Everything we do is guided by this philosophy.
What does Boutique Hotel mean? The term was conceived in North America to describe intimate, usually luxurious or exceptionally unique hotel environments. Boutique hotels differentiate themselves from larger chains/branded hotels by providing a personalized level of accommodation and services/ facilities.
