Hotels

Icons of Travel

Each coffee table book celebrates a landmark property, from The Carlyle in New York and the Ritz in Paris to Passalacqua on Lake Como and Hotel Esencia in Mexico. With exclusive photography, first-hand accounts, and archival stories, these titles capture what makes these places extraordinary—true reflections of style, character, and place.

Stories Behind the Doors

Within these pages are rare insights and hidden details: Frank Sinatra’s private suite in Mallorca, Jean Imbert’s vision at Plaza Athénée, or the timeless role of Raffles butlers. Whether documenting the grandeur of the Peninsula London, the art-filled walls of La Colombe d’Or, or the legendary Fontainebleau, each book offers a window into a world shaped by visionaries and creators.

Crafted with Assouline’s signature artistry, these coffee table books are the perfect gift for collectors and travelers alike—an invitation to step into worlds of elegance, memory, and design.
