TASCHEN’s collection of 100 heavenly hotels
Modern business travelers, in search of convenience, often prefer hotel rooms of the
same type in London, Paris, or Shanghai. A different set of rules applies when we look
for a place to spend a family holiday, a romantic weekend, or a few days of blissful solitude
with some great books. Suddenly a balcony with postcard-worthy views counts
more than the number of TV channels, a sumptuous bed with a first-class mattress
and hand-ironed linens more than Wi-Fi connection in every nook and cranny of the
hotel building.
That’s where this new collection comes in. Here we present you with two volumes
compiling 100 hotels on all continents, in countries from Argentina to Vietnam, making
it a breeze to choose where to relax next. The gamut runs from dream castles like
Villa Feltrinelli on Lake Garda to the glass-fronted hipster chic of Juvet Hotel in
Norway; from Mediterranean pensiones with nostalgic flair and moderate rates to the
pricy-yet-worthy desert glamour of Amangiri Resort in Utah’s canyon county. Even
proficient web scouts will want to pore over these volumes for the thrill of virtual
traveling; fans of interior design might use them as an inspiring global selection of
splendid sofas, beds, lights, and bathroom features.
• 100 exceptional hotels and guest houses all over the world
• From bed & breakfast basic to six-star luxurious
