SynopsisThe 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. PlumpJack in Squaw Valley, California, is a fantasy of burnished metal and heraldic style: an unlikely eclectic success. Aspen Meadows is an unexpected Bauhaus gem at the foot of Colorado's finest ski slopes. 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 Hotel les 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 Alps. 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. Book jacket., Hip Hotels is all about winter action and sharp style. With ever more people catching on to the thrill and spectacle of the mountains, the choice of ski hotels has become mind-boggling - and overwhelmingly mediocre. In this volume Herbert Ypma, himself an avid skier, proves that there are alternatives to the tired formulae of the typical resort hotel. You can go for a remote lodge in the Canadian Rockies or Wild West authenticity, alpine log cabin or sleek contemporary style.
