Moreover, the qualitative study was based on in-depth interviews with 3 boutique hotel managers by using the problems obtained from quantitative research as an issue. The statistical analysis was based on percentage, mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation. The structural equation model was analyzed using AMOS. The quantitative results were able to determine the market segment for heritage boutique hotels. It was also found that the customer experience management failed to promote Boutique Hotel Resonance, the success of cultural boutique hotel accommodation. The executives recommended addressing this issue by encouraging employees to create innovative management.
