Fantasies, originality, style, location—all the ingredients that make a Hip Hotel—are available at economical rates, if only you know where to look. This collection, like all Hip Hotel books, is truly global in range. Urban or remote, historic or post-industrial, Sunset Boulevard or Australian outback: the experience is yours to choose. The featured hotels include a vast, converted power plant in Hamburg, a collection of thatched huts overlooking a black-sand beach in Bali, a palace in the heart of the Marrakesh medina, and an original canal house on the Keizersgracht in Amsterdam. Budget or not, style doesn't get more authentic than this. Even if money is no object, every one of these hotels offers the priceless, unique experience that defines a Hip Hotel. With 500 illustrations, 400 in color.
