Product Description

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars More on the web, November 11, 2003

By A Customer

I bought all of the books in this series but was very disapointed. The photos are good but there is no more information than you can already find on the net.

Sites like hotelliving.com and Tablet are free and have the same photos but much more information. Try them instead.

Mr. Ypma is a gifted photographer and a careful writer - a rare combination. Great selection of hotels. It is the perfect coffee table version of cool new online services such as the great "tablethotels.com"

5.0 out of 5 stars Hip Book, January 20, 2003

Fun book! Excellent photographs. Reading about the various hotels from around the world and looking at the photos of the decor made me want to pack up my bags and do some traveling!

The photos also gave me some ideas and inspiration on decorating my apartment.
