What makes a hotel truly luxurious? Architecture, interiors, history, famous guests, comfort or exorbitant prices? “Professional” travelers – journalists from the Kommersant Publishing House – talk about the best hotels in the world based on personal impressions. The book includes stories about the “first hundred” hotels in Europe, the USA, Asia, Africa and Latin America, including the great “grands”, designer hotels, resorts and places for exotic holidays. The book will be of interest to both “life-lovers” and to everyone who simply likes to travel with feeling, with purpose, with arrangement. It will also be read with pleasure by those who prefer relaxing on the sofa with a book in their hands to the hardships of distant travels.
