Diamond Dynasty PL

Four kinds of hotel, eighteen places, one plain description each.

Written from public sources. No prices, no ratings, no booking.

The four categories

Four northern properties written up around winter, from a forest lodge outside Alta to a snow-built wing beside heated cabins at Kirkenes.

Four houses built on a repeating sleeping unit, from fitted cabins in a converted church to terminal cabins between flights.

Four Canadian complexes described as hotels and resorts, through their buildings, theatres, spas, dining rooms and grounds.

Six houses where the building comes first, from an old courtyard house in Barcelona to towers around a Shanghai courtyard.

What the hotel is, where it stands, and whether it is one address of a chain or a separate site of an operator.

One picture of the place. Entries in the casino section carry no photograph.

The idea, the building and practical points, in that order, so that entries can be read against one another.

The month and year the entry was last read against its sources, set at the foot of the entry.
