Отели и курорты

Melting pot metropolis Glamorous in the Roaring Twenties destroyed during World War II and divided afterwards, rebuilt in the 1950s, and now reunited, Berlin is a city of vibrant contrasts where diverse cultures form a multihued urban fabric. Derelict former Communist neighbourhoods have been reincarnated as haunts for artists and designers while elsewhere the city`s old traditions are also still very much alive.

Places Angelika Taschen recommends you stay while visiting Berlin include everything from classic hotels like The Regent Berlin, bed and breakfast-style pensions such as Nürnberger Eck and Askanischer Hof in Charlottenburg, or the serviced apartments Lux 11 in Berlin-Mitte.

And of course, none of the hotel books would be complete without a copious helping of hotspots to visit and places at which to eat and drink during your stay. Favourite recommendations for Berlin: include Ludwig Mies van der Rohe`s New National Gallery, the Helmut Newton Foundation, currywurst stand in Prenzlauerberg where Berlin's signature dish was invented and a ballroom nearly a century old.

Design stands for a kind of sign that is a bridge between the ideas and creative philosophies. Whatever we design must involve two parts: the bounded part and the unbounded one. Any bounded thing in the world, influenced by factors of idea, conception and culture, will form into a concrete one, something bounded. The same sense applies to architectural design.

Bounded & Unbounded carefully selects over one hundred hotels from all over the world, classifying them according to architectural style and offering a discussion about the architecture for designers.，introduces a detailed creative process from the concept to the space design, showcasing a serious of hotel buildings in accordance with diverse culture and local conditions.

This book is a demonstration of unbounded creativities based on architectural designs blended into the background of multi-component cultures. You will find 56 hotels and resorts from over 20 countries under management by world famous hotel groups, such as intercontinental, Accor, Shangri-la, Hilton and Starwood. Categorized into ten popular styles, those hotels feature cultural elements from south Eastern Asia, India, Arabia and Middle East. Ingenious design strategies applied in the projects are showcased through 2,000 high res images in perspectives of architecture, landscape and interior.

When a hotel is located within a city, there is limited space for advertising design and attracting business. It is difficult to make the hotel stand out from the fierce competition. The way it can be done is found in this book, which includes 49 luxury hotels from over 20 countries. Those representated are inspiring hotels, newly opened members from hotel groups, such as Accor, Marriott, Inter Continental, Shangri-La, Mandarin Oriental, Kempinski, Jumeirah.

Although most people consider the home the place where they get the best night’s sleep, people who have stayed at the hotels in this book might disagree. After an exhausting business trip or a long day of shopping, true pleasure is not at home, but in an impeccable room where a basket of fruit and a bottle of champagne, a soft bathrobe, and a new bar of perfumed soap await you. You can log onto the internet, videoconference with your loved ones, or miss them while relaxing in the Jacuzzi. You can sit on a sofa by Antonio Citterio, next to a Philipe Starck stool, by the light of an Ingo Maurer lamp. Who wants to feel as though you’re in the home you’ve always dreamed of?
