Hotel - Eleanor Curtis

The steep increases recently witnessed in both business and leisure travel have helped provoke a new variety in hotel interiors, and designers from various disciplines are now establishing a range of design solutions catering to the widely differing demands of each client type, giving new identities to hotels. form the boutique hotel to the airport atrium, the urban retreat to the contemporary resort, the immensity of Vegas to the intimacy of Beirut, Hotel Interior Structures presents a wide range of these new design trends found in present–day hotel interiors.

This volume aims to offer architects, interior designers and hotel owners – as well as those with a more general interest in the use of interior design detail to create a particular atmosphere or living experience – a valuable insight into the what, why and how of current design directions for hotels across the globe. Identifying ten hotel types that have been conceived within the last ten years, it features text, plans and detailed photography of a selection of hotels of each type, as well as interviews with some of the key figures involved. With examples of hotels in major cities and resorts worldwide – from London, Paris and New York to locations in Japan, Egypt and Lebanon – it gives a complete picture of the creativeness and imaginativeness of hotel interior design at the beginning of the 21st century.
