Publisher's Synopsis
"In today's highly commercial and customer orientated world, hotels must deliver on services, other than just simply lodging. In other words, it is not just a place to sleep. Therefore, hotel design, from facade to interior decoration, has become increasingly complex and far more important. This book selects 37 excellent hotel projects - including a hotel designed by Frank O. Gehry - and is broken down into five parts: Resort; Brand, Eco-friendly; Boutique and Luxury. All of the case studies are detailed and comprehensive and are accompanied by beautiful images, exquisite drawings and an explanative description.".
