The Design Hotels Book 2016

The Design HotelsTM Book showcases 290 handpicked properties, with glorious photographs and behind­ the ­scenes stories of the Original hoteliers who brought them to life. The book considers hotels not as simple buildings but really as stories. Behind these properties are the Originals with a passion for honest hospitality and culture, for groundbreaking design and architecture. Our Originals and member hotels tell tales about a stunning locale, singular design, or its role as a neighborhood gathering place for creative entrepreneurs. But what­ever its specific story, as a member of Design HotelsTM it is one of beauty and inspiration. The Influencers 2016 are 10 creative geniuses, including Kit Kemp, Duangrit Bunnag, Matteo Thun, Gert Winga rdh and more. The full scope of the work of these desig­ners is celebrated in both images and words.
