Business with nature and the number of "Eco lodges" on offer is huge. Often this type of accommodation is lacking in style.

The new book "best designed ecological hotels" shows how elegance, architecture and nature can be perfectly combined. It presents outstanding hotel architecture from its best side in the world’s most fascinating locations.
