Volume 5 / FANTASTIC HOTELS OF THE WORLD
Hawaii, private tropical islands, spectacular views and twenty of the most wonderful suites in the world.
We are heading to Hawaii! The name of the 50th state of the United States of America became a symbol for a perfect holiday. This time I am taking you to the famous hotels of Honolulu, from Waikiki shores to the world's greatest crater. On the island of Oahu, in the Kahala hotel, we have been taming dolphins, and then feeding sharks, even meeting African penguins in Maui in the Hyatt Regency hotel. Surfing, hula and fire dancing and playing cave baseball in the Wonderful Hotels of Hawaii.
The chapter The Real Paradise includes tropical hotels, where astonishing beaches are awaiting tourists with coconut palm trees and mysterious jungle pathways. We travel to a private island, chill out on a coral reef, treasure hunt in Bali and go on a wild night out in Acapulco. In The Best Panorama chapter I have collected hotels, which have a splendid view from their rooms. From the top of Santorini we see the other side of the mountain split by the volcano eruption and deep blue waves of the sea. Our window is viewing at red rocks in Arizona, while we can admire the famous monolith at Ayers Rock, Australia. Staying at the Kirawira in Tanzania we might watch the zebras, while in Bhutan we see the "tiger's nest".
The chapter Design, luxury, creativity is about elegant and unique hotels. A hotel have been created out of a mill in Arkansas, the Fullerton hotel in Singapore used to be a post office, while the Widder in Zürich was the former city hall. Many details are still reminding us of the old functions. In Money, Power, Mirage you can read about a top hotel of a Russian billionaire and a hotel in Singapore where Asian guests were not allowed until 1930. We visit Balmoral in Scotland and take a look at the universe of luxury in Miami.
In the fifth chapter of Fantastic Hotels of the World I introduce you the Twenty Most Wonderful Suites in the World. The list was made according to my personal experiences, as well as according to tourism experts' and guests' opinions. Take a peek at where superstars, kings and presidents are resting!
