Hip Hotels USA
by
Herbert Ypma (Author)
/
Thames & Hudson (Editor)
For Hip Hotels USA, Herbert Ypma has taken to the road, traveling the length and breadth of the land in search of Highly Individual Places to stay. Every hip hotel is uniquely characterful. It is timelessly stylish; attuned to its location in design, ethos, and cuisine; and achieves that subtle balance between attentiveness and discretion that marks the best of modern service. With a choice as immense and varied as the country itself, and an arbiter as seasoned as Ypma, Hip Hotels USA is definitive. The natural magnificence of the United States is stupendous, and many of these hotels invite you to immerse yourself in wilderness. Restore your perspective in a spectacular private treehouse fifty feet up a giant cedar in the heart of Mount Rainier National Park, or come back to earth in your own lakeside cabin in Wisconsin designed by a disciple of Frank Lloyd Wright. Experience Old World gentility in the Renaissance palazzo of Wheatleigh, amid the steeples and clapboard farmhouses of New England, where an immaculate makeover has restored the grace and understated privilege of the world of Edith Wharton (and added all the discreet modern luxuries you might require). Or live out your Rat Pack fantasies as you lounge poolside with a cocktail surrounded by mid-century modern classics?furniture by Bertoia, Eames, Saarinen?in an authentic 1950s motel in Palm Springs. Coast to coast, sea to shining sea, the new Hip Hotels is a sensation. 417 illustrations, 345 in color.

by
Howard Watson (Author)
/
Academy Press (Editor)
For the first time, Hotel Revolution draws together the new concepts of luxury that are central to 21st-century life, highlighting radical, exciting and exquisite designs that leave the now diluted concept of the boutique hotel in their wake. Hotel design has reached a new peak of innovation in recent years, providing a prism for our understanding of culture, style and desire. Using beautiful photographs, Howard Watson reassesses the diversity of hotel design in the wake of the rise of the boutique hotel, exploring new projects from many of the world?s greatest designers and architects. The cultural importance of hotel design has never been greater, becoming the mirror to our aspirations and the fulcrum for innovation in architecture and design. With a blossoming interest in eco-resorts, spas and retreats, we now see hotels as both the leaders of style and as the antidote to the negative aspects of modern life. Karim Rashid, Marcel Wanders, Antonio Citterio, Philippe Starck, Matteo Thun, Norman Foster, Zaha Hadid, David Chipperfield, GRAFT and many other inspirational designers have taken on the challenge. They have created gorgeous hotels that shock and delight. From converted boulangeries and convents to micro hotels to country retreats and eastern spas, the designers have delivered?with style. Featured hotels include: Hotel Puerta América, Madrid Hotel on Rivington, New York Semiramis, Athens Virgilius Mountain Resort, South Tyrol Zetter, London Lute Suites, Ouderkerk North Island, Seychelles Bulgari Hotel, Milan Faena Hotel + Universe, Buenos Aires Hôtel du Petit Moulin, Paris Uma Paro, Bhutan YOtel, prototype

Bar and Club Design
by
Bethan Ryder (Author)
/
Abbeville Press (Editor)
A toast to the world's most dazzling nightspots. Once simply places to kick back and relax with a little drinking and dancing, bars and clubs have developed into stylish arenas at which to see and be seen. From slick "style bars" specializing in high-end spirits and wines to late-night lounge bars that provide a relaxing alternative to warehouse clubbing, cocktail culture is experiencing a tremendous revival. With every design element--from layout to lighting--considered vital to the success of any "scene," competitive designers continually push the limits of style, theme, and materials to create ever more spectacular spaces. In Bar and Club Design, more than 40 visually intoxicating restaurant bars, hotel bars, independent bars, and clubs from all over the globe are featured in more than 200 stunning photographs and detailed floor plans. In each short chapter, author Bethan Ryder delves into enticing spots like Las Vegas' Rumjungle and Copenhagen's Nasa, covering each venue's remarkable history, layout, furniture, lighting, and accessories. She also provides insight into the individual designer's strategy for maximizing client pleasure, and in her engaging introduction sets recent bar and club development within its social and historical context. Showcasing the best after-dark playgrounds, this invaluable reference for architects and designers is also an indispensable guide for anyone seeking the perfect party. Other Details: 210 illustrations, 160 in full color. 10 1/4 x 10 1/4" trim size. Published 2002.
