Notwithstanding what historians might try to tell us, the story of the contemporary international hotel, by design, operations and culture, is very much mid-century American. So what does the future hold, as the hotel industry grapples with the consequences of climate crises as well as technological, social and cultural disruption? This book, a multi-perspective gaze into the future of hotels through the eyes of an array of authoritative authors, gives us a glimpse of some possible futures, and will be an invaluable resource for practitioners, planners, researchers and students.
