The Design Hotels Book: Taste & Place

With their website and coffee table books, the Design Hotels platform is an authoritative resource respected worldwide by architects, designers, restaurateurs, hoteliers and creative professionals. The coffee table books dazzle images captured by renowned photographers and edited by leading culinary writers and innovators. The stories take the reader on a journey beyond the dining room and kitchen to discover the full connection between food and location, as well as its origins and production; people, landscape and architecture.

Stories from regional landscapes, cuisines and communities are gathered from experts who shaped them, highlighting their production methods, practices and progressive hospitality. Questions raised include: How can we travel more sustainably? How can hotels reduce their carbon footprint? How can travelers contribute more than they consume? From the historic island of Crete to traditions in the Swiss and Japanese mountains, to innovative culinary approaches in the Caribbean, each hotel in this annual reference work is unique and extraordinary.
