The book Hip Hotels by Herbert Ypma is the second edition of the first book of his series about beautiful hotels in the world. In Hip Hotels, he shows trendy design hotels in major cities such as New York, London, Paris, Los Angeles, etc. Every hotel is featured with an introductory text as well as many larger and smaller pictures, so you can directly see what to expect. The book is a nice coffee table book and is enjoyable to read even if you do not intend to make a journey right now but just want to see which hotel could potentially tempt you.

This book has lovely photographs and useful descriptions of some very trendy hotels all over the world.
I have found the book a very useful guide for finding cool hotels to stay in - it can be so hard to find a really good hotel and this book really helps in that regard.
Of course, you need not use it as a guide and there are many cities in this book that I have yet to visit - the pictures are lovely and you can enjoy the book as a visual feast whether you are looking for a place to stay or not.

Fantastic reference of the best and groovy hotels in the world (main cities) Great design ideas witty text and innovative lay-out A MUST

im a hotel snob and do tons of travel, sometimes simply to go to a city for the hotel. while the book has some very useful and practical information, the hotel business changes as fast as the net. some very fine, very hip hotels have been missed. there should be, maybe a next edition, bigger sections or more books per city, assuming the city or region has enough. in any event, the pictures are great, the text is simple to follow and pretty accurate as to tyhe hotel and it's vibe. i'd give it 4.5 stars if it had more hotels.

Hip Hotels is a "Must have" for anyone travelling the world. Why stay in boring and predictable chain hotels when yo can go somewhere much more exciting for often no extra cost. Even the most discerning traveller will find a hotel in one of these "Hip Hotel" books and be hooked forever. Try it and see - you will nt be disappointed.

If you are going to Berlin, Paris or London, forget the boring hotels, follow the style of Hip Hotels

Great photos, great text.. The secrets reveale

Great ideas for redecorating my place, and makes me want to trave
