Boutique hotels and B&Bs have become exceptionally popular among tourists and travellers in recent decades. B&Bs originated in the United Kingdom, but have spread across Europe and beyond.

Fantastic Escapes: Architecture and Design for Stylish Stays features somewhere in the region of 200 boutique hotels and B&B projects from around the world, including Argentina, Canada, Chile, China, Europe, India, Iran, Japan, Mexico, Morocco, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Scandinavia, South Africa, South Korea, Sri Lanka, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Each example is illustrated with multi-angle pictures of guest rooms, restaurants, leisure areas and other spaces. Accompanied by detailed descriptions to demonstrate how these institutions have evolved, this book is a valuable reference for hotel designers and B&B operators.
