Nine properties worth another look
Nine properties worth another look
Curated by former Surface editor-in-chief Spencer Bailey, with a foreward by Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Paul Goldberger, this coffee table book dissects how 70-plus properties comprising the coveted Leading Hotels of the World collection properties transform architecture into experience. Norman Foster’s sinuous Singapore courtyard, Jacques Garcia’s Parisian indulgences, Axel Vervoordt’s Zen New York penthouses—each space reveals why these properties consistently dominate hospitality and design awards time after time. The book cuts through gloss with candid conversations between Eleven Madison Park’s Daniel Humm and designer Gabriela Hearst, plus sharp insights from design luminaries André Fu, Stephanie Goto, and Samuel Ross. For anyone who grasps that hospitality design shapes how we experience the world’s finest hotels, this is your essential blueprint.
