Flip through this book and take a trip through 72 of the world’s most enchanting, welcoming, and unforgettable hotels. Some are sleek and minimal, others charmingly plush and traditionally luxurious; whether you prefer a secluded rural retreat or the pulsing centre of the urban experience, you’ll find a room—or suite—to your taste. However, what all these establishments share is personality, atmosphere, sophistication and a great location. Similarly, though their rooms range from modest to extravagant, all of them represent excellent value, no matter which end of the price scale, from two to five star hotels. The eclectic mix includes the romantic hotel Spielweg in Germany’s Black Forest, where everyone should spend Christmas once in their life; the secret jewel Ksar Char-Bagh in Marrakech; the Al Mamlouka in the middle of Damascus, and the most exquisite Spa hotel in Jordan, the Evason Ma’In Hot Springs. Other highlights are the Shigar Fort Residence, a 400-year-old palace saved and restored by the Aga Khan Foundation in Northern Pakistan; a sensitively restored 1930’s colonial guest house, the Boddhi Tree Del Gusto in Phnom Penh, for less than 40 dollars a night; or the outstanding Corbusier-style beach villas in Kep, Cambodia, called Knai Bang Chatt resort. To get away from it all, there’s Richard Gere’s Bedford Post in upstate New York, or the Golden Rock Estate on the Caribbean island of Nevis, owned by American artist Brice Marden. Finally, nobody who has stayed there will ever forget the stunning Remota, surrounded by the mountains, lakes and glaciers of Chilean Patagonia.

With its over-1,200 year history, more than 300,000 residents and an attractive old city, Munster is a modern industrial centre and a university city as well as the regional hub of the Munsterland area, bearing great influence on the region and beyond. In its dialogue among citizens, politicians and the administration, Munster has never lost its characterisation as a truly European city: The historical centre is still legible, streets and squares shape the public spaces and the various functions of the city centre are tightly intertwined. On the basis of 170 buildings and projects, this volume recounts the latest architectural history in Munster and Munsterland since 2006. Many of the objects presented in this architectural guide are competition prizewinners, others have been distinguished with architectural awards and not just a few of them are well-known beyond the region. They all bear witness to a lively and fruitful discourse between architects and developers, above and beyond regional architecture and the aspirations of building culture.
