A compilation of 100 hotels, in countries from Abu Dhabi to Vietnam, these two volumes make it a breeze to choose where to relax next. The gamut runs from dream castles like Villa Feltrinelli on Lake Garda to the glass-fronted hipster chic of Juvet Hotel in Norway; from Mediterranean pensiones with nostalgic flair and moderate rates to the pricey-yet-worthy desert glamour of Amangiri resort in Utah's canyon country. Selected by Taschen's style and travel department according to criteria like stylistic harmony, location, service and cost-performance ratio, each hotel comes with a reader-friendly chart listing the number of rooms, current prices, type of cuisine, amenities, plus the all important X-factor: the feature that makes staying there a truly unique experience. The full scope of contemporary travel in two neat volumes, coffee table-sized with glossy photographs.
