The Hotel Book. Great Escapes Europe
The first installment in our Hotel Book series, this is both a luscious picture-book of interiors and a guide to some of 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 the ‘real world’—the book mixes gorgeous color photographs with directions, pricing, and contact information. Since reading is a requisite part of your relaxing escape, we also suggest books for you to take along to each destination. From a lighthouse in Wales to a former monastery in Spain, these are the sorts of hotels that will open up your senses and just might change your whole perspective on life.
