The Leading Hotels Book Series

“For nearly a century, The Leading Hotels of the World has inspired curious travelers with captivating tales of our remarkably uncommon properties and the outstanding individuals who bring them to life - from paper pamphlets in the early 1900s to in-room directories over the past decades. Now, LHW elevates the cherished tradition with a multi-volume series of books with Phaidon, Monacelli, and the New York based media company The Slowdown. These extraordinary volumes reflect the remarkable quality and independent spirit of our 400-plus hotels worldwide.” - Shannon Knapp, President and Chief Executive Officer, The Leading Hotels of the World
