Astonishingly Remarkable and Unusual Hotels

The author of Haunted Hotels: Transitory Dances with the Dead and Grand Hotels: Reflections on Timeless Architectural Treasures has once again shown her incredible ability to ferret out the unusual in the world of hotels. This time she takes the reader on a remarkable journey all over the world to explore hotels that are unconventional, bizarre and extraordinary. From the mighty isolated Karoo area of South Africa to the romantic alleys of Paris to Marlon Brando's quirky South Pacific Atoll paradise, Lynton Viñas explores the strange, uncommon and unusual in the world of accommodations. This reads almost like an adventure novel, as little known facts are explored in a revelatory manner that puts the reader right inside hotels that are more than just a place to lay a weary head on a soft pillow. Rather, the author gives each place she explores a heart and soul.
