Personal Review: Hotel Design, Planning, and Development,
New Edition by Walter A. Rutes
I was assigned to teach at the Master Degree class on "Facility
Management" subject focusing on Hotel Facility. I have gone through
several books regarding hotel design. I think this book is the best of all.
Any designer who reads this book back to back will certainly understand

the whole concept. It is not only about how to design the hotel as an
architecture piece, but the reader will also understand the hospitality
business. This book also covers the design and management issues of
related topics such as "Restaurant", "Entertainment Venue" in the hotel. It
is the 'must have' for all architects who want to design a hotel efficiently. It
can also be a good book for anyone who is in the hospitality business and
currently in charge of renovating or upgrading the hotel space; or the
hotel's representative who need to communicate with architects or interior
designer. This book can be the great tool to evaluate the result of the hotel
construction project or even to 'correct' it. The tables and formulas for
space calculation in this book are easy enough for anyone to understand.
This book can be of great use to all building design professionals. It can
also be a valuable one for any people who is interested in hotel business.
