This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guide to Great Places to Stay in Europe (Paperback)
Another wonderful travel guide from Dorling Kindersley, this one covering accommodations in fifteen European countries Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Ireland, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Greece.Great Places to Stay in Europe entices readers with stunning double-page photos prefacing each country introduction, which is an overview of the different types of accommodations, highlights of some of the most interesting places to see, food and drink suggestions, bedrooms and bathroom arrangements, and pertinent practical information such as tipping, telephoning, and currency. Country sections are easy to spot: each is identified by its own colored thumb tab, and favorite places to stay are designated with a photo, while short entries offer excellent amenities but are rated slightly lower. Nonetheless, they are still "great places to stay." Photo listings have a description of the premises, telephone number and address, email address, map location, number of rooms, and other amenities, all designated by a symbol for easy usage. Price bands and a country map are also included as is a comprehensive index of hotels listed by name and by area. (Check for prices in Euros.)

Luxurious 400 year old castles...,
By "grothermel" (Alpharetta, GA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guide to Great Places to Stay in Europe (Paperback)
Truly outstanding publication. Perfectly organized, realistic photogrtaphs help readers select unique, charming, and exclusive inns of character. My wife wanted to stay in a castle with a moat in France. We used the book to find the perfect inn. A memorable chateau (de Boussec) in the quiet countryside, surrounded by fresh flowers, and fields of cattle. Just perfect. The Marquis (de Boussec) greeted us at the door and entertained us for dinner with his lovely wife. Our mouths watered at the homemade tenderloin and fresh berries (from the garden) served in the formal dining room. Our eyes watered when we realized we ate at a 400 year old table, where French nobility dined before us. All the hosts spoke English, all recommended unique sights. Great inns in Provence, and elsewhere. Get this book, and see a side of Europe once reserved for the aristocracy.

Buy this book when its prices are updated for euros...,
By Catskill Jason (Mid Hudson Valley, New York, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guide to Great Places to Stay in Europe (Paperback)
If I were to have a few select books on travel, this would be one of them. It is an indispensible tool for finding enjoyable places to stay. It has maps of specific countries with the locations of the hotels it describes on the map. This is really useful when you are travelling (in a car) around as opposed to just staying in one city or two. I agree with another reveiwer that the hotels/inns/palaces with pictures are generally better than entries without a picture. Sometimes the website for the establishment will be listed. One caveat... as many countries in Europe now use the euro for currency, you may have to do some math as the prices listed are in former currencies... but the "star rating" system will give you a rough idea.
