Description
Hotels are increasingly concentrating on offering memorable experiences through unique design features; soft and luxurious, deliberately artistic kitsch, through to no-fuss minimal. This volume will cover all these different aspects and bring to light the work of architects and designers worldwide, including Michael Graves, Philippe Starck, Kenzo Tange and John Rocha.
