Product Description
From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters…

5.0 out of 5 stars The Hotel Book Great Escapes North America, February 15, 2007

Beautifully photographed to take you away to places that you may not have heard of. I like it because the hotels are not your typical hotels, this book highlights those that have original architectural value, and interior design.
