This book showcases twenty different small hotels, all located in
the US, designed by architects who use light and materials in
interesting and intentional ways. The designs also deliberately
connect to their local history, context, or land - in many cases
all three. Both the architecture and the operations harmonize with
the place, whether that is a bustling city, small town, or natural
area. Many are new buildings but some are adaptive reuse projects
or renovations of historic properties, extending the connectivity
of the place into the future. A condensed history of lodging helps
to place the many typologies and histories of hospitality in
relationship to world events and includes the many factors that
influence hotel development such as business practices, technology,
and even politics. Hotels are influenced by larger trends and
innovations in hospitality such as the emergence of a variety of
creative possibilities for future travel. A final chapter includes
speculation on travel trends and encourages us all to wander more
intentionally.
