The Hotel Book. Great Escapes Europe
Luscious interiors and the most spectacular getaways in Europe
Featuring a selection of the most unique hotels and guesthouses from Sweden to Turkey—all places where you can melt away from the problems of everyday life—this book combines gorgeous color photographs with directions, pricing, and contact information. Since literature is a requisite part of any truly relaxing escape, we also include a reading list for each destination. From a lighthouse in Wales to a former monastery in Spain, these are hotels that will open up your senses and possibly change your whole perspective on life.
