HIP HOTELS SKI
Herbert Ypma PAPERBACK ORIGINAL
The Plumpjack Inn in Squaw Valley, California, is a fantasy of burnished metal and heraldic style: an unlikely eclectic success. Aspen Meadows in Colorado offers the finest in up-to-the-minute luxury. Or maybe you'll prefer the romantic haven of Sundance, Robert Redford's unspoiled Utah retreat, where you can unwind in your own mountain cottage after a long day on the slopes. The recently renovated Hôtel des Dromonts in the French Alps is a wonder of sixties organic style in a building shaped like a fir cone. Or experience the views from the Hotel Ancora in Cortina d'Ampezzo, one of the world's original ski resorts, amid the jagged peaks of Italy's Dolomite mountains. Remote lodge in the Canadian Rockies or Wild West authenticity, alpine log cabin or sleek contemporary style—the possibilities are amazing. Hip Hotels Ski adds a whole new dimension to adventures in the snow. ISBN 0-500-238375-3 · 7 7/8" x 9 1/2" · 500 illustrations, 400 in color · 256 pages · TRAVEL / LIFESTYLE / DESIGN |

The newest Hip Hotels volume focuses on winter sports and stylish places to stay. With ever more people enjoying the thrill and the spectacle of the mountains, the choice of ski hotels has become enormous, yet they are overwhelmingly mediocre. Now Herbert Ypma proves that there are alternatives to the tired formulae of the typical resort hotel, no matter what your destination might be.
