Publisher's Synopsis
Many of us want to see the world and discover
places, cultures, nature, or food that
will surprise us. Ideally, we'll even surprise
ourselves with how much we can be affected
by such journeys. But where should we go
when we want to experience something
new or get away from it all? Which places
will we always remember? Which moments
will we never forget?
Once in a Lifetime Vol. 2 presents a diverse
range of unparalleled destinations for those
longing for extraordinary travel experiences,
whether they are seeking an adventure
or a retreat. Some will be attracted to
cities —the urban flair of Vienna, the bustle
of Tokyo, the rich history of Istanbul —and
their sumptuous hotels. Others will want to
be pampered at a wellness resort; find peace
and quiet in an isolated mountain hut; fulfill
a childhood dream of spending the night
in a tree house; learn how to make wine; or
see, hear, and smell a tropical rainforest.
The selection of accommodations in
Once in a Lifetime Vol. 2 is enticing yet accessible.
Many of them feature offerings suited
to various budgets. The focus is on highly
individual service, often from wonderful
hosts who would rather cater to four guests
than four hundred. The architecture, interiors,
and creative details of the included
examples also contribute to each destination's
charm.
Once in a Lifetime Vol. 2 celebrates exceptional
hotels, lodges, and other locations.
Whether readers use the book to plan their
next trip or to simply enjoy a marvelous
visual journey from the comfort of their
own homes, it reminds us that there are a
host of places out there that are worth the
trip —and that our personal paradise might
be closer than we might think.
