美国值得推荐的酒店之旅美国是一个多元化,有魅力的国家。其中的自然景观如太平洋海岸、优胜美地国家公园、纪念碑谷,经常成为大电影的素材(好莱坞的**场景其实就在它的后院)。本书非常适合想要来一场美国经典公路旅行的人,探索美国原住民和拓荒者的足迹,在山区、湖泊、海滩边,记录难忘的时刻。
在本书中,安吉丽卡·塔森(Angelika Taschen)图文并茂地介绍了美国酒店的价格、路线、书籍、电影。旅程从东海岸开始,知识分子和艺术家曾经会面的地方,有着田园般的乡间别墅,如佛蒙特州的双子农场、纽约州的特鲁特贝克。一直延伸到南方,伊斯拉莫拉达停泊村酒店、新奥尔良彼得和保罗酒店讲述了佛罗里达州和路易斯安那州的历史,准将马休·佩里庄园展现了德克萨斯州奥斯汀的魅力。
邓顿温泉度假村曾经是科罗拉多州的一个矿工营地,坐落在古老的鬼镇外,现在变成了一个高档的乡村度假胜地,像亚利桑那州的阿科桑蒂一样。阿科桑蒂是建筑师保罗·索莱里(Paolo Soleri)在20世纪70年代构想的乌托邦城市。旅行在加利福尼亚画上圆满句号,这里有独特的酒店,如德特延大苏尔酒店,有着挪威风格的小木屋,许多大作家曾在这里住过;还有悠闲的汽车旅馆,如马里布冲浪者酒店,加利福尼亚的梦想;还有美食家的天堂,索诺玛县的SingleThread,一家米其林三星餐厅。
这本华丽的出版物有着丰富的摄影作品,介绍了弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特等伟大建筑师的传统酒店、当代年轻设计师的作品、典型美国中期风格的建筑。还有马场、露营场所、嬉皮士澡堂、复古活动房屋等——这些地方就像这个国家一样多变!
A Journey to the Finest Hotels in the USA
The USA is one of the most varied and fascinating countries in the world. Its areas of natural beauty such as the Pacific Coast, the Yosemite National Park, and Monument Valley are the stuff of great cinema (Hollywood finds its best settings practically in its backyard). For everyone who explores the USA beyond its big cities on a classic road trip, on the trail of Native Americans and pioneers, in the mountains or by lakes and beaches, unforgettable moments are guaranteed.
In Great Escapes USA, Angelika Taschen presents remarkable places to stay through impressive photography, entertaining texts, and practical details on how to get there, prices, and tips for books and films. Her journey starts on the East Coast, where intellectuals and artists once met in idyllically located country houses such as the Twin Farms in Vermont and Troutbeck in New York State. It continues to the South, where The Moorings Village and Hôtel Peter & Paul, for example, tell of the history of Florida and Louisiana, and Southern belles such as the Commodore Perry Estate in Austin, Texas reveal their glamor.
Dunton Hot Springs, once a miners’ camp in Colorado, now transformed from a ghost town to an upscale rustic resort, lies on the route, just like the urban utopia that is Arcosanti in Arizona, conceived by the architect Paolo Soleri in the 1970s. The trip comes to a wonderful conclusion in California with unique hotels such as Deetjen’s Big Sur Inn, where many famous writers have stayed in the Norwegian-
influenced wooden cabins, laid-
back motels like The Surfrider Malibu, which is all about the California dream, and heavenly destinations for gourmets, for example SingleThread in Sonoma County with its three Michelin stars.
The photography in this opulent publication presents hotels in the tradition of great architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright as well as the work of young contemporary designers and buildings in the typical American mid-
century style. A horse ranch, a glamping site, even a hippie bathhouse and vintage mobile homes are also included – places as varied as the USA itself!
