Fashion Hotels

High-end hotels have always been the setting for style and fantasy, a venue to see and be seen. This volume explores a relatively new trend, where major fashion houses take over the running of upscale hostelries. With every detail coordinated, from bed linens, to décor, china and glassware, the overall effect is of a chic jewel box, where every piece shines. We get a peek at glamorous hotels conceived and run with flair, by major fashion players like Bulgari, Christian Lacroix, Ferragamo, and Versace. Originally from Zimbabwe, Guy Dittrich was the UK managing director for Design Hotels. Now based in Munich, he is a freelance travel writer whose credits include Wallpaper magazine. * A vital reference for design and hotel professionals * A sumptuous peek at some of the world's most stylish lodgings
