This review is from: Ski Hotels (Designpocket) (Multilingual Edition) (Turtleback)

This thick mini-tome is chock full of delicious color pix of exterior facades & views and (mostly) interior rooms and design/decor details of dozens of outstanding and often historic accommodations in the ski areas of Switzerland, Austria, France, Italy, Andorra (!), and the USA.

Basic background and contact info precedes each sectionally color-coded offering; the real treat is the highly atmospheric photo-tour (high quality pix on heavy semigloss stock) of the public and private areas within each establishment.

Get a quick sense of the distinctive stylistic variations across and within countries, then plan away!
