Great Escapes Mediterranean | Taschen Hotel Book

Great Escapes Mediterranean. The Hotel Book by Taschen, edited by Angelika Taschen, is a sun-drenched journey through one of the world's most evocative regions. From the cliff-perched villages of the Amalfi Coast to the whitewashed islands of Greece, the lavender fields of Provence, and the stone-walled fincas of Mallorca, this volume captures the timeless allure of Mediterranean hospitality.

Each property in this curated collection celebrates the slow, sensory rhythms of the region—long lunches by the sea, terraces shaded by olive trees, and architectural traditions shaped by centuries of culture. Whether you're drawn to a coastal hideaway, a historic palazzo, or a design-forward boutique stay, every page is an invitation to dream.

With lush photography, evocative storytelling, and curated travel inspiration, this book is a must-have for travelers, designers, honeymooners, and anyone who finds beauty in la dolce vita.
