This book is full of color photographs, most of them full-page. It is organized by type of space: facades, pools & terraces, lobbies & lounges, bars & restaurants, and suites & bedrooms. Each type of space is given a very brief introduction and represented by 30+ pages of beautiful photographs; the captions contain only the name of the hotel pictured. A directory of hotels at the end contains thumbnails of the pictures of that property, making cross-referencing easier.
There is minimal text, and no architectural plans are included. This is a great book for designers looking for inspiration - it provides beautiful pictures of different ways to design basic components of a hotel, such as a lobby or bedroom. Recommended for architecture and design libraries.
