Design Hotels Book This year’s Design Hotels™ Book Anniversary Edition is yet again proof of the hospitality platform’s exacting standards when it comes to locating some of the most original hotels around the world. Featuring 244 hotels, all of which are Design Hotels™ members, the book is at once catalogue, inspiration and Bible for the traveller in search of distinctive experiences. design Hotels Book Each hotel featured is borne of a particular story of passion, risk-taking, culture, and place, and that’s the way they are presented. The book weaves one story after another, told through the eyes of renowned photographers, and the voice of international journalists. All this is kicked off with an introduction by publishing guru Angelika Taschen where she tells of her own adventures around the globe and traces the phenomenal influence that Design Hotels™ has had on the hospitality scene.
