About this item

From the people who have been delivering trustworthy guidebooks to every destination in the world for 40 years, Lonely Planet's 50 Places to Stay To Blow Your Mind will make your next trip an unforgettable one. This pocket-sized gift book showcases 50 of the world's best places to stay. From glass igloos in Finnish Lapland to wooden spheres suspended in the treetops in Canada; geodesic domes in the Patagonian wilderness to old-school opulence at New York's Plaza Hotel; these are the ultimate in overnight experiences. Not every place is a budget buster; sometimes it's about the spectacular locations, like the gravity-defying Bivacco Gervasutti on Mont Blanc in Italy (page 50) . There are places that literally disappear into their surroundings like the Mirrorcube in Harads, Sweden (page 42) , and others that stand tall and command attention like the Frank Gehry-designed Hotel Marques de Riscal in Spain (page 92) .
