Book excerpt: There is a huge competition between the business resorts and hotels for the sophisticated cadre of travelers all over the world. The operators and developers in hotel industry look forward to interior designers and architects for creating interesting and unique experiences for their guests. For many decades, the hotel industry had primarily focused upon the operations and functionality. The concept of designing and development of a hotel is rooted in the ethnicities of hospitality to the travelers, which dates back to the ancient times. Various kinds of hotels have evolved in many different countries. The interior styling and designing of hotels are very diverse and numerous variations are there like inns, motels, hotels and spas and resort. Many different aspects influence the sense of a place like small details of furnishing, interiors, buildings, and landscapes. In most of the today's high-end developments, a guest room can be a conventional serviced apartment or a hotel room, and even a phenomenon, which has changed the standalone hotel to a mini-community having, lots of different uses. From an architect's perspective the apartment unit or a guestroom is the core building block, which sets a structure for the building. Since architects are involved in the projects of hospitality for decades, it is a fact that there is no "one size for all" in the hotel industry. Thus, this book will serve the main purpose of guiding as to what is hotel development, planning, and designing. The most happening and unique interiors of a hotel transform a simple stay into a successful and unforgettable experience and makes the guests as the drivers of this journey. In a small frame of time, internet has emerged to become the main source of communication for the development team of the hotels and guests. Rapid advancement in technology has supported the implementation of sustainable practices in operations and design. While detailing the activities, the allocation of space and relationships in the building along with an excellent and resourceful program provides aids in establishing the way a building is situated on a site. The summary of all the space allocation, relationships and activities in a hotel is known as design philosophy or design brief and a building program. This book brings to the readers the planning and development of hotel property, the philosophy behind the designs of a hotel and the types of hotels, which will include the hotel designing for differently abled people. In the later sections, it will also talk about the market analysis and financial feasibility along with the prevalent risks and opportunity in the hotel industry. Above is a very simple sketch of the book on Hotel Planning, Design and Development and a complete study has much more to offer. I look forward to the reader for achieving value-based results by using the techniques and methodologies prescribed in the book. The constructive criticism and the feedback would be most welcome.

Maria Cecilia Loschiavo dos Santos, PhD Author of Movel Moderno no Brasil Professor, Design Department, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil "The title and subtitle promises a lot-- and this book delivers even more! Dr. Mainini has done a fabulous job organizing and explaining-- in a clear, precise manner-- the principles of Feng Shui and the ancient Chinese art of placement for good energy flow as it applies to the spaces in which we live and work. Not only is this book great for the preparation of buildings, it is also extremely useful even if you are only searching for an energetically superior apartment, house, or office space to rent. If you are looking for an invaluable source of Feng Shui information to help bring harmony to your living and working space and your life, this is a book for you. I applaud Dr. Mainini for the publishing of this, her first book, and highly recommend it to those who want to learn more about this most fascinating modality of healing. A+!"
