Synopsis

Rooms with a view: A collection of 100 heavenly hideaways

 

When traveling for business, we often prefer hotel rooms of the same type in London, Paris, or Shanghai. It&;s just more convenient. A different set of rules applies when we search for a place to celebrate a special family holiday, a weekend with a new lover, 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 heavenly mattress and hand-ironed linens more than Wi-Fi connection in every nook and cranny of the hotel building.

That&;s where this new TASCHEN collection comes in. A compilation of 100 hotels, in countries from Abu Dhabi to Vietnam, the two volumes make 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 pricey-yet-worthy desert glamour of Amangiri resort in Utah&;s canyon country. Even dedicated web scouts will be tempted by this book to cuddle up on their sofa for a round of paper traveling. While fans of interior design might use it as an inspiring global selection of splendid sofas, beds, lights, and bathroom features.

• 100 very special hotels and guesthouses all over the world
• From bed & breakfast basic to six-star luxurious
• Selected by TASCHEN&;s style and travel department according to criteria like stylistic harmony, location, service, and cost-performance ratio
• Each hotel comes with a reader-friendly chart listing the number of rooms, current prices, type of cuisine, amenities, plus the all important X-factor: the feature that makes staying there a truly unique experience
• The full scope of contemporary travel in two neat volumes, coffee table-sized and with countless glossy photographs
