A journey through Europe’s most memorable hotels
This Europe boutique hotel coffee table book explores extraordinary places to stay across the continent through thoughtful storytelling, timeless photography, and carefully curated hotel discoveries. In Great Escapes Europe: The Hotel Book, Angelika Taschen travels from remote mountain lodges and countryside estates to coastal hideaways and historic retreats.
Each hotel reflects a strong connection to landscape, architecture, and local culture. Rather than focusing only on luxury, the book highlights atmosphere, character, and a meaningful sense of place. As a result, the experience feels personal and deeply rooted instead of polished or generic.
Design, atmosphere, and slower travel
The photography captures interiors, landscapes, and everyday moments with warmth and restraint. Meanwhile, practical travel insights help readers discover destinations beyond the expected. The book moves naturally between visual inspiration and cultural exploration, creating a slower and more intentional approach to travel.
Throughout the collection, architecture and hospitality work together to shape how each place feels. Quiet mountain inns, elegant coastal retreats, and timeless countryside estates reveal a version of Europe defined by rhythm, beauty, and authenticity.
More than a travel guide
For travelers, creatives, and design minded readers, Great Escapes Europe offers more than hotel recommendations. It becomes both a visual escape and a source of inspiration for future journeys. Above all, it celebrates travel experiences shaped by atmosphere, curiosity, and emotional connection to place.
