Description: See inside many of Italy's famous grand hotels in locations such as Rome, Venice, Florence, Milan and Naples. Many tourists visit Italy to experience the grandeur and comforts of a bygone era. This new book by Images offers a rare glimpse inside the private and public areas of Italy's glorious hotels which have, for centuries, offered accommodation, often long-term, to many of the world's literary and artistic greats, many in their youth on their tours. This pocket-guide is more than a fabulous guide for the armchair tourist. The sumptuous colour photographs of P. Fotiadis makes it easy to select the hotel to suit the experience the traveller wants to enjoy. It offers a selection of the best places to stay in Italy, whether for the business traveller or the tourist.
