Description: A guide book, photographic celebration, and visual dazzler, "A Place to Stay" presents some of the world's most unique and fantastic hotels. If you're tired of faceless resorts or corporate institutions, however alluring their comforts, then the hotels in "A Place to Stay" will come as a revelation. Modest or grand, large or small, modernist or traditional, these hotels share a common bond: each is unique, a characterful original you'll never forget. Just about all tastes are catered to, in countries across the world. From the Ice Hotel in arctic Sweden, where everything -- even the beds -- is carved from ice, or the Esbelli Evi House in Cappadocia, Turkey, partly located in sixth-century cave dwellings; to the more conventional comforts of the grand luxe Danieli in Venice or Chateau de Bagnols near Lyon; the contemporary chic of The Mercer in New York and The Adelphi in Melbourne; or the ordered tranquility of the traditional Tawaraya Inn, Kyoto, you are sure to find somewhere that appeals and inspires.
