How to plan and design a special hotel!

This is a great book for studying the better designs of hotel- based centers and campuses intended as convention and other "purpose" destination centers...How a good hotel provides for its guests, and fits in with the local community is pointed out for both the hotel-fan and the lodging planner who may wish the guests/atendees to enjoy essential shopping also... Whether carefully fitted into a busy city, or spreading out on available 'resort'-like sites, the hotels described in this book present a broad variety of inviting places for business and fun. My interest in the subject was to look for good examples of ho- tels which could function as both the legislature for emerging countries--and nice living/office suites onsite! This is great for a general assembly which wants its members from 'out of town' to dwell within easy walking distance from the main meeting hall, their offices, and other necessary in-session amemities. Good onsite secutiry is possible too and visitors can look through studio windows while wearing [interpretive] headsets! While originally intended for architects and site planners, this book is a nice briefcase-friendly text for hospitality fans also!
