Product information "Coffee Table Book Great Escapes Africa"
Where wanderlust quietly moves in
Sometimes all it takes is a glance at your coffee table – and suddenly you’re somewhere between open landscapes and soft evening light. Great Escapes Africa – The Hotel Book by TASCHEN is exactly that kind of book: a generously sized hardcover volume (23.8 x 30.2 cm, 360 pages, approx. 2.38 kg) that brings together some of Africa’s most extraordinary hotels and lodges. Edited by Angelika Taschen and Shelley-Maree Cassidy, this multilingual edition (German, English, French) captures destinations where architecture meets nature in the most thoughtful way. The photography is rich, warm and often beautifully understated – from vast deserts to lush retreats and carefully designed interiors. This is not just a book to flip through, but one to return to.
A book that feels like a change of scenery
More than a collection of hotels, this is a curated hotel finder for those who travel with intention. Whether you’re planning your next journey or simply enjoying the idea of it, Great Escapes Africa creates space to pause and explore. Its blend of striking photography, carefully selected locations and authentic storytelling turns it into a companion for quiet moments. On a coffee table, it becomes a subtle conversation piece – or a reason to drift off for a while.
