NEW YORK, NY - Assouline announced the sixth and latest in their "Hotel Stories" series, "Escape Hotel Stories: Retreat and Refuge in Nature," by Francisca Matt�oli.
Journey around the world into some of the most beautiful and environment-conscious hotels, each of which boasts a unique harmony with its natural setting and offers an escape to pristine hideaways around the globe.
With plentiful references to art and literature, Assouline invites you on an African safari, to a Ch�teau in the Loire Valley, or a mountain lodge near Machu Picchu... and more.
"Escape Hotel Stories" takes readers on a journey to some of the world's most stunning hotels, often located in UNESCO World Heritage Sites, while advocating the importance of preserving the environment.
Each hotel or resort in this volume possesses a unique relationship with its surroundings, offering an escape into natural paradises spanning the globe: a ranch in the heart of Wyoming's wild plains, eco-lodges on Easter Island or in Alaska, a mountain ryokan in Japan, luxury tents in the Australian desert.
Matt�oli accompanies each travel narrative with references to inspirational writers and artists, many of whom were environmental proponents ahead of their time.
