Architect and photographer Gary Chang has a strange obsession: he loves hotels. Clocking up an average 120 days a year traveling all over the world, Chang has become something of a hotel expert, but meeting his exacting standards for a suitable home away from home isnˇ¦t easy. His favorite hotels are places with a certain special quality, like New Yorkˇ¦s kitschy Maritime, Budapestˇ¦s classic Gellert, or Zurichˇ¦s brand-spanking new Zurichberg. Changˇ¦s favorite finds are documented in beautiful photographs and personal texts in Hotel as Home. He presents thirty-five hotels from around the world in this wonderfully atmospheric book ˇX from Hotel 101 in Reykjavik, Hotel Le Corbusier in Marseilles, and Soho House Hotel in New York, to W Hotel in Sydney and Hotel Metropolitan in Bangkok. Whether itˇ¦s the all-white design of Phillipe Starckˇ¦s Hotel Delano (Miami), the Art Deco brass bed and chandelier in the rooms of Istanbulˇ¦s Pera Palace Hotel, or the Zen atmosphere of Londonˇ¦s Hotel Hempel, thereˇ¦s something to discover and appreciate in all of the hotels featured here, one of which might be your next home away from home when youˇ¦re on the road.
