Hotel Design, Planning, and Development Hardcover – Illustrated, December 10, 2012

Amazing info. Readily applicable. A rock solid foundation and more on the subject. Super simply organized. All muscle, no fat. All flavors, no waste. Even if you think you know something about this subject, this information will provide you with a very well organized mental framework to think about the hospitality design. Includes both perennial and the latest up-to-date information. Kudos to the authors, authors’ team, and the publishing team.

I enjoyed this book very much. It contains a lot of information about different hotel concepts, what you can and perhaps should do. A great book that gives a single glance in the hotel industry.

It's a very good book . It's is an update from the first one . Recommended read for real estate development professionals

Arrived in great condition. Haven't used it as much as I would've liked, but I think it's great.

The book have complete information about designing & developing various types of hotels. From urban hotel to convention hotel.It goes into detail in designing guestroom, public spaces, back of the house, etc, as well as covered new technology in hospitality & construction.It's also includes lots of pictures and hotel layout.I bought the second edition. It was published in 2012, so many information & hotel examples are up to date. The book appearance & layout like a college text book.I think it's intended for college class cause the author is a Cornell professor.This book becomes one of my reference book. Highly recommended reading for developing a hotel.

Very good update on a seminal work on the technical basis of hotel design. Great for architecs and planners. Expensive, but worth the money

A great resource for those who are thinking about going into the field of hotel design

Quite good content, but a number of typographic issues in the Kindle version detract from the books value- not expected in a quality and reasonably expensive product.Useful planning guidelines and examples.
