100 Getaways Around the World is a lavishly illustrated set of two volumes of 718 & 358 pages, printed on high quality glossy paper & presenting specially selected, interesting & enticing accommodation options across the world. Rooms with a view. A hotel is a hotel is a hotel? Not in this collection of 100 heavenly hideaways. When travelling for business, modern man & woman often prefer hotel rooms of the same type in London, Paris, or Shanghai. It`s just more convenient. A different set of rules applies when they search for a place to celebrate a special family holiday, a weekend with a new lover, or a few days of blissful solitude with some great books. Suddenly a balcony with postcard-worthy views counts more than the number of TV channels, a sumptuous bed with a heavenly mattress & h&-ironed linens more than Wi-Fi connection in every nook & cranny of the hotel building. That`s where this new Taschen collection comes in. A compilation of 100 hotels on all continents, in countries from Argentina to Vietnam, the two volumes make it a breeze to choose where to relax next. The gamut runs from dream castles like Villa Feltrinelli on Lake Garda (right) to the glass-fronted hipster chic of Juvet Hotel in Norway; from Mediterranean pensiones with nostalgic flair & moderate rates to the pricy-yet-worthy desert glamour of Amangiri resort in Utah`s canyon county. Even dedicated web scouts will be tempted by this book to cuddle up on their sofa for a round of paper travelling. While fans of interior design might use it as an inspiring global selection of splendid sofas, beds, lights, & bathroom features.

Features: 100 very special hotels & guest houses all over the world; from bed & breakfast basic to six-star luxurious; selected by Taschen`s style & travel department according to criteria like stylistic harmony, location, service, & 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, co eetable-sized & with countless glossy photographs.
