Unconventional Hotels

This book presents a wide range of hotels; modern temples for tourist or business travellers, all of which have opened recently in different parts of the world. This is a dynamic and colourful collection of some of the most forward-looking and inspiring designs in the world, from the studios of modern architecture's leading names. Each project is thoroughly documented with the designers' own notes and explanations, sketches, floor plans and glossy full-colour photographs. They show a common inclination towards calm and concise spaces and offer an inspiring range of formal proposals, full of glamour.
