For a long time, a stay in a well-designed hotel was a costly business. Architectural treats tended to be restricted to the luxury category. In recent years, however, some of these hotels have adjusted to meet the needs of a younger generation of travelers. The rooms are no longer ridiculously expensive, but still by no means cheap. The new book best designed affordable hotels has been published in response to the frequent request for an overview of reasonably priced design hotels. Illustrated with brilliant colour photos, the team of authors has put together the first global collection of first-class hotel architecture and fantastic residences with affordable room rates.
