An intimate collection of images produced around the world, it represents the culmination of a three year period of research, travel, and human connection. Born from a deep reverence and respect of travel cultivated from the time he received his first passport at 15, the images present a multi-textured paean to hotel life, more than a luxurious stopover or sanctuary — though it touches those things — but also a powerful locus of energy, mysterial and enveloping, charged with emotional affinity. Ishmael’s hotel rooms contain multitudes, conveyed through his subjects: a correspondence of ideas, culture, vulnerabilities and possibilities. My Hotel Room Book finds Ishmael fully open to them all.

Elegance, beauty and style from around the world

Aladdin's book has been a special part of my collection of color and B&W fine art nude photography hardbacks for years, and frequently a favorite of guests. Having been to around 100 countries for pleasure, the book reminds me very much of my own travels. A couple of the featured boutique hotels I have even stayed at. Some hotels are featured more than once, but with very different design and decor in each suite. The hotels in general are widely diverse, each with well-articulated descriptions that make you feel more like you are there. The models - generally tall and slender fashion models - were stylish, and tastefully and creatively shot, with particular attention to detail and often capturing their expressive personalities. Aladdin manages to highlight the rooms just as much as the models, not letting either dominate. Evocative and iconic vistas can be seen from the windows - whether with the Sydney Opera House, Týn Church, or Sugarloaf - luring the reader to imagine the vibrant elements and energy of the city outside the elegant comfort and unique beauty of the rooms. Highly recommend.

Beautiful: inside & out, front to back

I first discovered this book on an AirB&B shelf, while on vacation in Venice, CA. I was enraptured and made a note to order upon returning home.I received this book in great shape, well-packed/protected, and love it! Everything from the hardbound/textured bookends to the coloring and elongated rectangular shape gives it a unique look & feel. The content is amazing, as remembered from my first encounter.The book is organized into short/digestible segments for each hotel/model, with high-quality photographic prints. As for the models, they’re so diverse which adds a depth of character to the content. Aladdin did a great job of capturing both the individual physical beauty and personalities of each woman. The nudity is well-balanced, providing just the right amount of visual excitement while still being relatively modest and leaving the viewer wanting more. I can see that the props and room decor were well thought out, with interesting details of body positioning, lighting/reflections, background, etc.All of this adds to the artistic production value, and makes me a proud owner! If you appreciate the visual arts and professional craftsmanship as I do, you'll want to add this to your collection.

An extraordinary photographic journey through some of the top hotels of the world.Through the lens of photographer Aladdin Ishmael we get a fresh perspective on both the models and the spaces they are in. The narrative is always in balance between the interior and exterior and the model.A great photo/hotelbook that grows and expands its impact the more time you spend with it.Highly recommended!!
