Veggie Hotels is a Coffee Table Guidebook to the Best Vegan Hotels around the World
It’s hard not to love a travel and food book that includes page-sized photographs of beautiful places you can visit and delicious meals that you can eat. Especially if you are a vegetarian or vegan looking for that a special spot where you can be all that you can be without compromising your uniqueness. VEGGIE HOTELS is one of those books.
What is a veggie hotel? The answer a simple, it’s a place where vegetarians like to stay and resort. The luxury guidebook VEGGIE HOTELS is a collection of over 60 vegetarian, vegan, and vegan-friendly hotels and bed-and-breakfasts from all around the world. The hotels range from the United Kingdom to Peru, from Spain to India, from Croatia to do United States. Many profiles also include delicious recipes of a healthy and vegetarian nature, such as fennel in Apple Salad, Black Venere Rice with Carrot Aioli, and Vegan Nut Cutlets with Beet-Horseradish Carpaccio and Quinoa.
An example of hotel selections is the Essentis Ecohotel in Berlin, which is an entirely vegan hotel in the center of the city, and is the first organically-certified hotel in Berlin. The hotel’s restaurant is called Amaranth, and only serves organically-grown and created food.
If you’re looking for something a bit warmer, head down to the Mani-Sonnenlink in Greece. The hotel is considered an oasis built around feng shui principles, and is the first organically-certified hotel in Greece. The location offers both bungalows and apartments. The founders originally installed themselves in Greece to live the simple life of olive farmers, and to follow those daily rhythms and practices. Now, they own the globally-distributed prize-winning organic Mani Olive Oil family of products. The hotel follows that purity of spirit of the olive oil farmer, and is 100% Mediterranean in nature and appeal. The water at this boutique resort is deep blue and turquoise, and is where guests can get together for company, meditation, music, or privacy.
If this wets your appetite, there are plenty more veggie hotels to discover.
