As modern life accelerates, the yearning to escape — to travel farther, stay longer, and reconnect with something elemental—has become a powerful force. Remote Places to Stay Vol. 2 presents a new collection of extraordinary retreats in far-flung corners of the globe, where adventure and tranquility coexist.

From secluded cabins high in the mountains to coastal hideaways on windswept shores, these destinations redefine the essence of travel. Accessible only by footpaths, small planes, or winding waterways, each location immerses visitors in its surroundings' raw beauty and quiet majesty. Thoughtfully designed and deeply connected to their landscapes, these escapes invite travelers to see the world with fresh perspective and intention.

This book is an invitation to rediscover the art of stillness — of inhabiting places that leave an indelible mark. It celebrates travel as a more profound, mindful endeavor, where remarkable settings and inspired design combine to inspire, restore, and transform.

An inspiring addition to interior design aesthetics, Graduate Hotels is a collection of meticulously hand-crafted boutique hotels in college towns, designed to evoke the glory days, sleepless nights, and the spirited, beautiful memories of college culture. 

Graduate Hotels spaces uniquely connect with guests on a visceral level. Each hotel is its own immersive experience of inspired textures and contrasts that captures the college experience in full. This book follows suit: a 272-page tome beautifully designed in the style of a college yearbook that tells deep and nuanced interior design stories, which reflect each college town where a Graduate Hotel resides. Graduate Hotels is as easily at home in the interior design section of a bookstore as the travel, art, or architecture sections. The book is as useful for design inspiration and mood boards as it is for wanderlust and adventure planning.

Every Graduate property celebrates great design, art, architecture, and a youthful, playful optimism that reflects the spirit of each community — from Oxford, Mississippi, to Oxford, United Kingdom, and every college town in between.

Graduate Hotels is a book for the culturally curious bohemian who delights in elevated interior design that rekindles the spirit of college culture, and it holds a great appreciation for design, art, architecture, the stories behind things, and the people who make cities unique.

About the Author:

Benjamin Weprin is the founder and CEO of Graduate Hotels. Graduate Hotels is a collection of hotels located in college towns across the country, launched in 2014 by Nashville-based real estate company AJ Capital Partners. Each hotel reflects the nearby college. There are over 30 operating hotels in the United States and two in England.

Mythical places, dreamlike beaches. A voyage to the most beautiful hotels in Greece

Greece’s ancient art and culture form the cradle of Western civilization—numerous monuments and museums tell to this day of the country’s rich history. Greece is unique also by virtue of its breathtaking landscapes, the hospitality of its inhabitants, and its fabulous hotels, making it the dream destination of many travelers. The fresh and healthy cuisine, the crystal clear sea, and the canvas-worthy sunsets do the rest—a trip to Greece is pure delight.

Angelika Taschen travels from the mountains of Macedonia in the north to the Peloponnese with its mythical places like Corinth, Sparta, and Olympia, and to the larger and smaller groups of islands in the south. She opens the doors to some of the country’s most extraordinary hotels, including Imaret in Kavala, located in a former Ottoman complex; Tainaron Blue Retreat in a secluded former defense tower in the Mani; and The Windmill, a converted windmill on the island of Kimolos in the Cyclades. She invites readers to discover legendary luxury hotels, like Eagles Palace in Halkidiki or Poseidonion Grand Hotel on Spetses, and takes them to enchanting B&Bs like Guesthouse Mazaraki in Mystras or Mèlisses on Andros, run by food blogger Allegra Pomilio.

Along her itinerary, she visits hotels on well-known picturesque islands — such as the Mystique on Santorini and the Soho Roc House on Mykonos — but also accommodations in remote places like the Mediterraneo on the island of Kastelorizo, which lies in the very southeast of Greece off the Turkish coast. In addition she shows interesting architectural and design concepts, such as The Rou Estate hotel village, a historic, carefully restored hamlet on Corfu; the minimalist Olea All Suite Hotel on Zakynthos; and Ammos on Crete, where no two pieces of furniture are alike and new eccentric pieces are added every year.

This Land is Your Land. A Journey to the Finest Hotels in the USA

The USA is one of the most varied and fascinating countries in the world. Its areas of natural beauty such as the Pacific Coast, the Yosemite National Park, and Monument Valley are the stuff of great cinema (Hollywood finds its best settings practically in its backyard). For everyone who explores the USA beyond its big cities on a classic road trip, on the trail of Native Americans and pioneers, in the mountains or by lakes and beaches, unforgettable moments are guaranteed.

In Great Escapes USA, Angelika Taschen presents remarkable places to stay through impressive photography, entertaining texts, and practical details on how to get there, prices, and tips for books and films. Her journey starts on the East Coast, where intellectuals and artists once met in idyllically located country houses such as the Twin Farms in Vermont and Troutbeck in New York State. It continues to the South, where The Moorings Village and Hôtel Peter & Paul, for example, tell of the history of Florida and Louisiana, and Southern belles such as the Commodore Perry Estate in Austin, Texas reveal their glamor.

Dunton Hot Springs, once a miners’ camp in Colorado, now transformed from a ghost town to an upscale rustic resort, lies on the route, just like the urban utopia that is Arcosanti in Arizona, conceived by the architect Paolo Soleri in the 1970s. The trip comes to a wonderful conclusion in California with unique hotels such as Deetjen’s Big Sur Inn, where many famous writers have stayed in the Norwegian-influenced wooden cabins, laid-back motels like The Surfrider Malibu, which is all about the California dream, and heavenly destinations for gourmets, for example SingleThread in Sonoma County with its three Michelin stars.

The photography in this opulent publication presents hotels in the tradition of great architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright as well as the work of young contemporary designers and buildings in the typical American mid-century style. A horse ranch, a glamping site, even a hippie bathhouse and vintage mobile homes are also included – places as varied as the USA itself!
