The book "The Hotel in the Alps" by Isabelle Rucki offers a comprehensive analysis of the hotel architecture in the Upper Engadin from 1860 to the present. It highlights the development and influence of architectural movements, starting with the hotel construction ban of 1915 and extending to the classical modernism that is scarcely represented in the Engadin. The author has updated and expanded the original content to document the history of hotels in the Engadin up to the present day. A central theme is the nationwide initiative for the structural renovation of hotels and spa resorts from 1940 to 1945. Additionally, the post-war architecture and its impact on the region are discussed. The book also includes newly created photographs by the renowned architectural photographer Heinrich Helfenstein, as well as a catalog of significant buildings in Engadin hotel architecture, making it a valuable resource for architecture enthusiasts and historians.
