Отели и курорты

An international selection of distinctive enviromental displays and products from the world's hippest interior designers and architects.

The mere mention of the word 'spa' conjures up images of relaxation, therapy and luxury; over the last decade, contemporary society has readily embraced 'spa culture'. In order to meet increasing public demand, institutions worldwide have opened their doors to provide their own definition of a spa - from medical day spas in mid-Manhattan to five-star destination spas in the south of France.

The concept of the spa: healing waters, massage and body treatments - has now pervaded our way of life and leisure in a manner never witnessed before.

Spa: The Sensuous Experience provides a timely exploration of 40 of the very best spas created over the years, from more recent examples to traditional destinations that have become classic icons in the spa world. New York based architect and professor, Robert D. Henry, a recognised authority in the field of spa design both in the USA and overseas, provides a comprehensive foreword to the unprecedented publication.

This book focuses on the design of those places where the modern consumer goes to have serious fun. Leisure facilities are a huge industry nowadays, and design is constantly innovating in the eternal search for the perfect cinema, the most delicate bar, the sharpest and least violent afterhours club. From lounge bars to bowling alleys, "SPACE - Entertainment" features worldwide designs in mouthwatering detail by the likes of Japan's Glamorous and England's Blacksheep.

Today's lifestyle has been the catalyst to the increase in the importance of health and beauty. And with the number of places to choose from, the design of spas, salons, and the works has had to become as unique and creative and individual as the services themselves. "Space - Health & Beauty" is a collection of such spaces.

Our guide to the choicest destinations

What would you say to a tension-releasing massage, a rejuvenating facial or a soak in the healing waters of a thermal spring? Delicious, healthy cuisine and a lovely and comfortable room in which to relax at night? Mmmmmmmm... we thought so. Now the question is: which spa to choose? With TASCHEN's Favourite Spas Angelika Taschen saves you the agony of choice and presents a selection of the most inviting destinations worldwide for the perfect spa holiday. Her journey takes us to heavenly oases such as the historical Pädaste Manor on the island of Muhu on Estonia's west coast; the spa of the Grand Hotel Kronenhof at 5,900 feet, which delivers a picture book mountain view; to the Buddha-Bar Spa at the Hilton Évian-les-Bains in the classical French health resort, that combines treatments inspired by Tibetan medicine with modern east-meets-west design and the Shibui Spa in Robert De Niro's Greenwich Hotel, housed in a 250-year-old Japanese farmhouse relocated to New York. Further dream destinations include the fantastic Oriental Spa at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental with its panoramic view of the Hong Kong skyline, and the Verana Day Spa, tucked away on the Mexican Pacific coast south of Puerto Vallarta, that is only accessible by boat.
