We present a heterogeneus group of 22 houses with diverse settings, floor areas and architectural concepts, with valid invariants for a profitable analysis. In perfect harmony with the cosmopolitan condition of North American society, the professionals involved are from diverse origins and varied training. These projects refer to the lifestyle of a highly developed society, with a fascinating dialectic relationship between the lively countenance of nature and the latest technology.

This volume shows a selection of establishments that distinguish themselves from grand, de luxe establishments, offering personal attention not only in client service but also in material and spiritual comfort. The settings and ambiences enjoyed in these hotels are true festivals of the senses, places which the traveler has dreamed of visiting and which here come to life. All the hotels included in this book also enjoy a careful and singular corporative image. These elements and many others are of a distinct cut, with an exclusive graphic design representing the hotel concept and which attracts a select clientele.
