Hotel Design, Planning, and Development, New Edition Review

Hotel Design, Planning, and Development, New Edition

WOW! I have a copy of the 1980s version of Rutes and Penner--this is a totally new edition, all new photography, etc.--and consider it the 'Bible' for hotel design. But the new edition is twice as big and full of current examples and information. It has 32 pages of gorgeous color photos of great hotels and resorts from around the world. The text is in three main sections: Hotel Types (downtown, resorts, conference centers, luxury hotels, casino hotels, etc.); Design Guide (planning and design information for all areas of the hotel); and Development Guide (feasibility, programming, future trends). In addition, there are lots of appendices and sidebars from such people as Ian Schrager, I.M. Pei, Robert Stern, and John Portman. I've looked at other hotel design books in the stores and there isn't anything that is so complete or current. There are other books on boutique hotels, with lots of pictures, but nothing with this global coverage of all types of lodging properties. With well over 400 pages, this book will be the new Bible for hotel design. I can't imagine a better choice for anyone involved with the hotel development, architecture, or interior design.

A new edition of the "bible" for design, planning, and development in the hospitality industry. As its predecessor has done for the last fifteen years, this book will serve as the "go-to" guide for architects, planners, and developers involved in hotel projects. It offers an overview of the industry; in-depth analysis of emerging trends; the latest how-to; and essential design, planning, and development criteria. 250 illustrations. The previous edition was published under the title Hotel Planning and Design.

Hotel Spaces Review

This book is full of color photographs, most of them full-page. It is organized by type of space: facades, pools & terraces, lobbies & lounges, bars & restaurants, and suites & bedrooms. Each type of space is given a very brief introduction and represented by 30+ pages of beautiful photographs; the captions contain only the name of the hotel pictured. A directory of hotels at the end contains thumbnails of the pictures of that property, making cross-referencing easier.
There is minimal text, and no architectural plans are included. This is a great book for designers looking for inspiration - it provides beautiful pictures of different ways to design basic components of a hotel, such as a lobby or bedroom. Recommended for architecture and design libraries.
