Hotels - Chen Chiliang

This book presents a wide range of hotels, boasting some of the most forward-looking and inspiring design in the world, from the studios of some of modern architecture's leading names such as Kengo Kuma, Steven Holl, UN Studio and Legorreta + Legorreta. These modern temples of transience, haunt of the holidaymaker and bolthole of the business traveller, are thoroughly documented with the designers' own notes and explanations, sketches, floor plans and glossy full-colour photographs. The projects in this dynamic and colourful collection show a common inclination towards calm and concise spaces and offer an inspiring range of formal proposals full of glamour.
