Formed millions of years ago, they became a popular destination for travelers in the late eighteenth century – first for adventurers and explorers, then for artists and writers, and finally for everyone who wanted to spend summer in the fresh air of this wonderful scenery or take part in winter sports. Angelika Taschen has followed in their footsteps and collected the finest hotels in the Alpine nations of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, and Italy.They include the Kranzbach near Garmisch-Partenkirchen, built for a British aristocrat, Gasthof Hirschen in the Bregenzerwald, where art-loving visitors have been welcomed since 1755, and the Seehof near Salzburg with its emphasis on contemporary art and fine cuisine. The journey goes to Waldhaus Sils in Sils Maria, where many creative guests have found inspiration, to the Schatzalp in Davos, which Thomas Mann immortalized in literature in “The Magic Mountain”, and to picturesque bed & breakfasts with a personal touch such as Brücke49 in Vals and Maison Bergdorf in Interlaken.High above Chamonix, mountaineers have stayed overnight for more than 140 years at Refuge du Montenvers with its view of the Mer de Glace, the largest glacier in France. In the exclusive Megève, too, which Baroness Noémie de Rothschild put on the tourist map, travelers experience the Alps à la française in the chalet hotel L’Alpaga; and a bit of Italian dolce vita is provided by stunning addresses in the South Tyrol such as the Ottmangut in Merano, Villa Arnica in Lana with its nostalgic atmosphere, and Pension Briol near Barbiano, constructed in 1928 in the Bauhaus style and extended in 2021 with the addition of two extremely modern buildings.This opulent book of photographs presents the Alpine range and accommodation in large-format images, short texts, and useful details on prices and how to get there. Walkers, skiers, gourmets, and lovers of good living will find valuable tips and very special accommodation: former monasteries where guests still find peace and seclusion, a mountain hut at the heart of the Dolomites, and a youth hostel occupying what was once a sanatorium, a rare example of modern architecture in Switzerland that was declared a heritage monument in 2002. Review: A Mix of Hotel Guide and Coffee Table Book - I travel through the Alps, but wanted an easy way to show the landscape to my family. This does the trick, with a lot of beautiful landscapes and a lot more pictures of traditional (and some more unusual or modern) hotels. The book doesn't have much text, and what it does have feels like a hotel advertisement (like a slightly glorified travel guide), but the beautiful layout and pictures make it decent for my purposes.

Das Buch war der absolute Renner. Es sind so viele schöne Hotels dabei, man kann sich an dem Buch richtig satt sehen. Wenn man allerdings auf die Websites der gezeigten Hotels schaut, dann wird man sehr schnell sehr traurig - solche Hotels muss man sich auch erst mal leisten können. Das Buch wiegt etwas über 2kg, da muss man aufpassen, dass es einem nicht auf die Füße fällt! Es ist definitiv kein Reisekatalog für die Mittelklasse, aber schön anzuschauen sind die Hotels auf jeden Fall - und Träumen kostet ja nichts ;) ## Frequently Bought Together - Great Escapes Alps: The Hotel Book - Great Escapes 2020: Mediterranean: The Hotel Book - Great Escapes Europe 2019: The Hotel Book --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/412108022-great-escapes-alps-the-hotel-book](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/412108022-great-escapes-alps-the-hotel-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-09-29*
