Introducing Taste and Place: The Design Hotels Book
In our most ambitious book yet, we have called upon leading writers, photographers, creative chefs, and culinary innovators to explore forward-looking ideas and inspiring practices around food in our properties, destinations, and larger community. Featuring stories from Rockhouse Hotel in Jamaica, Rastrello in Italy, Satoyama Jujo in Japan, and many more Design Hotels locations, these stories go beyond the dish, the kitchen, and the dining room to reveal the holistic connectivity of food. Writers and collaborators such as Nicholas Gill, LinYee Yuan, and Gisela Williams, explore food and locality, provenance, production, people, landscape, and architecture. Ever the visual compendium, we’ve commissioned photography from Robbie Lawrence, Marina Denisova, Vivek Vadoliya, and others, as they take us on a global journey.
From regional terroir through the kitchen to the community that connects us, the inspirations assembled in this edition tell the tales of methods and self-production, social engagement, collaborative work practice, respect for cultures and ingredients, rethinking food waste, and visionary, big picture hospitality. We believe that the ecosystem of a hotel seen through the lens of food provides a perfect microcosm to better understand bigger system changes. With this rather special book, we at Design Hotels reflect on what we can bring to these shifts in terms of the hospitality we support and want to see in the future.

Design Hotels™ represents and markets a curated selection of over 300 independent hotels in more than 60 countries across the globe. More than a collection of hotels, the company is a collection of stories. Each property reflects the ideas of a visionary hotelier, an "Original", someone with a passion for genuine hospitality, cultural authenticity, thought-provoking design and architecture. Each "Original" stands for the individual, aesthetic and service-driven experience that his or her hotel provides.
In 2017, Design Hotels™ launched Further, a traveling laboratory for experiential hospitality that transforms hotels across the globe into temporal hubs of thematic exploration. The mission behind Further aligns with the values of the future-facing Promad, a new generation of traveler embracing progressive travel and global nomadism. First identified by Design Hotels™ in collaboration with leading futures consultancy The Future Laboratory, the purpose-driven, self-actualizing Promadic movement is set to shape the future of hospitality.
Founded by Claus Sendlinger in 1993, Design Hotels™ offers its members insightful travel industry knowledge, from market trend consultancy to international sales representation. The company has its headquarters in Berlin and branches in London, Los Angeles, New York and Singapore. In 2019, Design Hotels™ joined forces with Marriott Bonvoy, enabling its member hotels to have both a greater and more selective reach while offering its Community the benefit of the industry’s leading loyalty program.
