The Alps: Hotels, Destinations, Culture

An inspiring collection of luxury and privately-run boutique hotels and curated regional insider’s guides in the definitive volume for year-round Alpine travel

This lavishly illustrated and engaging book is the authoritative guide to the most exclusive Alpine destinations in Europe. Notable hotel expert and 84 Rooms Founder, Sebastian Schoellgen, presents a uniquely curated selection of 84 luxury and family-run boutique hotels in the five Alpine countries (France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Germany) in over 180 superb photographs with lively storytelling and practical information, too. Featured throughout are insider guides by the author and such tastemakers as hotelier Arnauld Zannier, who map out the most stylish and scenic places to shop, dine, stroll, and wind down after a long day on the slopes.

Sebastian Schöllgen studied Hospitality Management in Switzerland and Spain. After stints at the Ritz Carlton, the Villa Padierna in Marbella, the Swiss hotel Victoria-Jungfrau, and the Rocco Forte Hotel de Rome in Berlin, Schöllgen realized his dream of starting his own agency, which he did with Eighty Four Rooms. Located in Düsseldorf-Oberkassel, Schöllgen’s travel collective Eighty Four Rooms specializes in the art of travel through creative consultancy and the curation of unique experiences and stays at beautifully-designed, luxury, and family-run hotels, chalets, villas, and private islands.
