This book is a separate endeavour created as a complement to our Internet guide. Here, the high quality photographs and beautiful properties really have the chance to be shown at their best. Whether it’s historic elegance, rustic charm, cutting edge design or exotic sophistication, all reflect the unique personality and diversity of the establishments, and the many ways in witch the concept of luxury can be interpreted. A hardback with a paper coverlet, it measures 22 x 22 cm with 303 pages, each hotel taking up 2 pages on the inside. The first volume features 126 hotels from around the world. To give a narrative sense to the book, it is divided into categories of style and location (Historic Majesty, Cutting Edge Design, etc), each chapter being introduced with a descriptive text. Readers are directed to the regularly updated www.greatsmallhotels.com for details about the hotels. This way, unlike a catalogue, the book is always up to date.
